Actually, I'm not much of a farkler.  The only stuff I've added:

My RT:

Hardwired Garmin mount for the Zumo;
BMW topcase;
New bungee net (I often remove all hardcases and just bungee a gymbag to the pillion/rear rack); and
Some reflective tape on the side cases & mudflap.

Her GS:

BMW optional higher windshield; and
JR tailbag (that she "inherited" from my Hayabusa).

I am not worthy in the presence of you farkling Gods!  Bigok

Well - I ain't got no pictures of my farkling, but I got this handy dandy piece of velcro I bought at the Lowes for about $2.00.  I put one part on my tank and one part on my celliophono machine.  

It's fancy and high tech.  

Then on the handlebars I have a ram mount for my GPS - but the cradle is broken so I have a bunch of rubberbands to hold it.

Me, I ride a Moto Guzzi.  Guzzi =  minimal electricity = few farkles.   Rolleyes

This gentleman sets the bar for farkles though and is the standard to which all farklers can aspire.   Smile

He is the anti-Guzzi.

That way I can use the dash trip meter for resets and use the watch for transit times.

I'll try to edit in some decent photos later.

The farkles, moving from front to back:

- Motolights (caliper mount -- and redid their wiring harness to use a panel mounted, lighted rocker switch)
- Headlight protectors
- Philips +80 headlight bulbs
- V-Stream shield and spacers
- Baker Air Wings
- In-dash mount for battery tender pigtail (see pic)
- Three RAM mount balls (one on the steering stem nut, one in each of the unused mirror mount holes) for various gadget farkles.  The zumo 550 is the most used one.  The second most used is a bicycle style water bottle cage (I find the bottles much more convenient than the Camelbacks or other hydration systems that use hoses).  I've hooked a cb, mp3 player, and radar detector to these at various times but rarely use any of those now.  
- Panel mounted lighter plug
- Handguards
- Throttlemeister throttle lock
- Grip Puppies
- Insulation blanket under gas tank
- Tip Over Guards
- Highway pegs
- Rick Mayer saddle   Thumbsup Thumbsup
- Helmet lock
- Heat shields on pipes to prevent boot melt
- Givi 52 top box
- And, of course, a Top of the Bell Curve Rally Team sticker on the right saddle bag and a No Pickle sticker on fender.

Had a Fenda Extenda but lost it.

Sitting in a box for winter install:  stainless steel brake and clutch lines

the Battery Tender pigtail:
