The term is well known in the sport touring community.
An enthusiast may be in the process of "farkling". The completed motorcycle would be all "farkled up". Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats, side and/or top cases or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles.

An obscure contact sport, played on an asphalt surface dusted with sand. Defence is 40 heavily padded guys carrying cut off hockey sticks. Offense is one guy in gym shorts carrying an eggplant. Top team is from Wassewa, Manitoba, Canada
Prior to the Farkling season, there were four brothers, then the youngest switched to offense. Now there are three.

A Farkle is a loyal, loving, best possible friend there can be. Although he is nerdy, everyone should have a Farkle.

The term Farkle apparently originated among the ST1100 riders. It is an acronym:
F.ancy
A.ccessory
R.eally
K.ool &
L.ikely
E.xpensive
From the 2 Wheel Innovations web site:
Farkle: N: An Accessory intended to improve or embellish the original system; opulent luxury item; V: to add pleasure or comfort; to strut about after adding additional items to stock unit thus improving value or performance, usually saying "whoo-hoo" loudly to yourself or your neighbors.
Farkles: As defined by the ST1100 owners' club, a farkle is:
1. (Noun) any modification to one's motorcycle.
2. (Verb) the act of modifying one's motorcycle in some way.
Farkles may have functional or merely aesthetic value, or in fact no value whatsoever! To farkle is to expand one's connection to the motorcycle, to enhance its uniqueness, and provide a venue for personalization.

For example:
- Visibility (accessory lighting, reflective materials, headlight modulators)
- Functionality (suspension improvements, cruise control, turn signal cancellation)
- Visual appeal (chrome, paint, stickers, badges)
. . . and so on.
