12 o'clock notch on a steering wheel

Do you think it would look silly on a GLK, considering an AWD SUV can't drift? Even my s550 Mustang has a plain old round steering wheel without a hint of sportiness.

We've had lengthy discussion threads in motorcycle forums about farkles [1] ("farkles" is a pseudonym for "accessories" in the motorcycle world)

What it boils down to is: if the owner of the vehicle likes /wants the accessory, that's all that matters.

Some folks think you shouldn't modify a vehicle , other folks want to farkle everything: exhaust, wheels, dash, seats, electronics /electrical, engine, tranny, body mods, and yes, even steering wheels.

Sidenote: the stripe looks to be a degree or so off


Farkle (n): A modification to a motorcycle that satisfies the following criteria: creates “bling,” serves a purpose (the usefulness of which is in the eyes of the farkler) and is likely to be expensive.

Farkles and mods will always be subjective; if you like it, do it. Just don't expect that it will raise the value of the vehicle.

@calder-cay , are you still on 2 wheels? If so, what do you ride?

And, keep in mind, fully half the people will think you're a flamin' idiot...




Previous owner was a chrome freek, and I need a new photo since it has a Fat Boy headlight on it now.
