OK, so you think you know your Farkle Facts? I will give bragging rights to the Farkle-ista among you who can please help me find a Farkle item that I saw on the internet and did not bookmark, and I can not relocate it! So, the Double Jeopardy Farkle Question is, "On some web site, I saw a set of replacement screws for the KLR's Brake Fluid Reservoir. The screws came with an allen wrench, and instead of a phillips head, the screws had a hex, which reduces the chance of stripping the screws when removing the Brake Fluid Reservoir cover" Who sells that?
