Yeah, I gotta start putting my farkles on, as well. I've already put the throttle lock on, just waiting for the personal drive to put on the crash bars, center stand and belly pan that I got from Twisted Throttle last winter. By the way, for us noobs, where did the term "farkle" come from? Damned fine word, and the meaning is obvious, but what is the origin of it?

Has anyone put a throttle lock or cruise control of any type on a 2008 with success and are happy with it? Thanks On Sat, 31 May 2008 15:40:12 -0700 (PDT), "Gary LaRue" said:

Hey Rev; I'll be going to Hawaii in September to visit my wife who is there on a family matter. Both of those are very high on my priority visiting list. Thanks for the links! Lash [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
