10 Affordable Farkles for Under $40
Upgrade your ride without downgrading your dough.
10. WPS Adjustable Cargo Net ($9.95)
Dimensions: 15″ x 15″ un-stretched; 36″ x 36″ stretched
Colors: Black, Red, Blue
Features: 6 removable plastic hooks
A cargo net is a quick-fix time saver. They help carry newly acquired items like firewood, groceries or — this one’s important — beer back to your campsite. Not many people haul these bulky items with them on long journeys, so it’s expected to pick them up near the final destination of the day. No need to unload everything at camp to make room for last minute consumable items. On your way to camp, you can pickup anything you need for the evening and quickly strap it to the exterior of your luggage.
The WPS Adjustable Cargo Net can hook directly to your top bag, rack, or whatever else is securely fastened to your bike. It’s not complicated; just find something stable for the hooks to grip, cover your load with the cargo net and stuff in all the essential accouterments you can fit. It’s an easy, fast, pain-free way to carry odd-shaped items. Plus, it doesn’t take up much space so you can easily stash it away when you aren’t using it. Made of durable plastic, as opposed to metal, the hooks are less likely to leave nasty scratches on your paint or rust as the weather turns nasty. The net itself is brawny, even stretched out to over twice its size! A steal of a deal, this farkle is a no-brainer addition to your vault of motorcycle paraphernalia.

This is not a simple bolt on item (Tusk 1 1/8″ handlebar). Even the photo shows you need something like the Roxx bar risers to make it bit as the stock mount is for 7/8″ bars. This fact was not mentioned in the article.
Of course the very next farkle in the article is the handlebar adapter.
This was a good read. Great job, ADVPulse, and thanks for posting this story.
Great tips guys! I have the Ortlieb bag and love it!
Come on, a picture of a KLR in an article about cheap mods and no mention of milk crates?
Shoot! That would have been killer add-on. Right after the bungee net.
[…] KLR650 test bike already had a set of oversized 1-1/8″ diameter handlebars which required us to use an oversized handlebar mounting kit to install the handguards. These […]
How did you put the bar ends back in that klr? Just did this mod on m y 2014 klr but don’t know how to put the bar ends back
Hi Miguel. Which mod? The Tusk Handlebars?
Coleman saddle pad is barely a half inch thick and pretty useless. I gave mine away for free after a 600 mile ride in which mine did ZIP ZILCH NADA for comfort. In fact, I rode through rain and it made my behind and inner thighs feel about 1000x’s worse than if I didn’t have it.
Everyone’s different, I guess: I’ve heard a few different guys praise the Coleman as a cheap, yet useful add-on that gave them some saddle relief.
[…] riding in. I also put a lot of work into “restoring” my KLR, and added some essential farkles (include better hand-guards, a dash, crash bars, auxiliary lights, and additional storage). I try […]
