I agree with Gheil and David. I tend not to buy farkles unless they're performing a needed function. I bought the Deflector DX windshield last summer to keep the wind pressure off my chest.
After looking over all of the racks available I've decided to go with the Alurack. I like the raised mini backrest on it. Looks like a nice place to put my helmet when I'm off the bike (I've had helmets fall off the handlebar, and the helmet lock is kind of a pain).
There's one exception to my functional farkle policy. I will confess that I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on some side panels. I really prefer them to be the same red as the tank. I recently had decided to wait for the '14 DLX style side covers, but now that I know they're a different shade of red, I'll probably just order the '13 side covers with raised badges.
That's pretty much it for me and farkles.
