F650 Farkles....

Ok, as most of you know, I picked up a used "stock" F650 GS last year... love it so much I am planning a trip to Labrador this June.. via the Trans Labrador Highway.. unlike what we consider a highway.... now, my disclaimer... I am not the prolific writer as some are here ... nor the photo man extraordinaire as we also have here... But I wanted to share as best I can .. how my ride has transitoned from stock to my TLH Pack Mule...
Here it is.. as naked as can be....






I added a BMW engine guard... along with a set of Caribou Panniers which I really do like...Picked up a used set of BMW hand guards (not great, but better than nothing...( I added air spoilers to them this season)




I hated the stock windscreen, tried a dakar and it was better, then got a cut down Cee Bailey from 2TTW to try and it was much improved. At the end of last season, picked up a Laminar Lip used for the stock WS but planned to add it the cut down CEE when spring arrived. I still have it sitting there, unused, as I stumbled on an uncut neearly new full size 22" Cee Bailey which is now mounted and a "keeper".





I also added a Kildala Tail Rack which I really like. I can strap on a carry bag, my lunch bucket for work, firework for camp.








Here is a shot with the Caribou Panniers, the Kildala and a Lee Parks bag that bungies right to the Kildala





I later added some reflective tape to improve visibility








Ok, next I will move into what I am doing this year....
