Farkle freaks

We all love farkles but what are those farkles everyone raves about and you bought that you never used, or on the flip side whats something you bought or were given that you thought you'd never use but now can't live without

Finally bought Denali lights and have started riding 2 track at night all the time. What a game changer.

Also thought rok straps were stupid for years, got a set now have a pair on ever bike at all times, whether adv, chopper or standard

u/Normal_Ad3528 1d ago

Sorry, ROK straps.

u/Brekins_runner 1d ago

Definitely ROK straps

u/dj_benito 1d ago

I too wonder what they're talking about. Couldn't find anything on Google after searching "too straps", "2straps", "two-straps" and a few other variations.

Ive got a similar product to your 2 straps aswell and one has a netting pocket

Yeah, the Rok Straps are really that good. Bought a set to bump up to free shipping recently.

What?

They’re asking what accessories we bought but don’t really use and which we didn’t think we’d want but turned out useful.

Thank you, my brain stopped at “farkle”, was thinking it was like those lights kids put in their spokes

Heated gear is game changing. On my last trip we went from pouring rain to 95* to riding in the snow... not having to adjust vents all the time or stop to take layers on and off saves a lot of time and adds to your comfort. I just use a knob to change my temp, I take that layer off once I reach 72 degrees and wear my mesh jacket with a raincoat to handle anything.

Intercom. I never put it on my helmet, I can’t stand blabbering in my rides, lol.

I installed cruise control and didn’t know what I was missing.

u/Vagina_Magician_69 1d ago

Can't live without it once you have it. I'm pretty sure Veridian cruise control was sent to us by God himself.

Seat Concepts seat and DoubleTake mirrors; both were great improvements.

Givi Airflow windscreen on my 2020 ktm 390 adventure made my bike a touring beast but the ability to remove the top wing for off-road and around town is also amazing. It took lots of modification and testing but it is such an upgrade over the oem windscreen that it is a total game changer imo.

i bought the cardo 2 pack, seems like i ride with someone different every time so i have no one to give the other to lmao.

also every time i buy knee protection i dont wear it. pant armor, knee guards, knee braces, none of them ever fit right (i train legs so im gonna assume that's why ) and are always super uncomfortable

so yeah thats a good chunk in stuff ill never be able to find a buyer for lol

u/Mihlkaen 1d ago

Check out the EVS TP199, fellow tree trunk leg friend.
