Haven't had the bike 24 hours yet and I'm already pondering Farkles! It's my one weakness. Looking at crash bars and it appears that most go with either the SW Moto black bars, or the chrome Honda ones. Both seem similar in price, but I think the OEM get the nudge in looks (IMHO) however, not so sure about the level of protection they provide.
Handle bar RAM ball ordered for my phone and I also ordered a tail bag, as the most difficult thing for me to overcome at this point is riding without "stuff".
Thought I'd be bothered by lack of wind protection since the ST sits you in a bubble and my VFR does a pretty good job of keeping a lot of wind off of you. On the ride home yesterday it was no worries. Even hit a patch of very strong head wind and just had to lean into it. Cross wind control was great. At times the ST can be a bit of a hand full in cross winds, due to all that plastic catching the wind. With the CB it just blew on through. Sierra Hotel.
