Janus Farkles - Pre Delivery Accumulation of Stuff

In the Long-Distance and Adventure Touring communities, "farkles" are items added to a motorcycle to increase functionality for long-distance riding.  These items may enhance functionality, navigation, comfort, safety, reliability or just add to the cool factor.

Since placing my order for a custom Janus Gryffin 250, I have been accumulating many of the items to be mounted on the bike. Below are just a few of the items I will add to the Gryffin when I get it back to Texas.  Check out this video on YouTube:  Janus Farkles - Adventure Touring Items
