I'm making an Eldar army for the cool figs and excuse to paint brighter colors than my current armies' schemes. This of course leads to various conflicts in coolness vs effectiveness. I want this Farseer to lead my army, he's just got a cool pose and all.

Being on a Jet Bike is of course more effective than trying to have him keep up with everything on foot, but there's no way to put that guy on a bike and have it retain any of what I like about it. My current line of thought on that would be to stand him on a Grav Platform, possible a support one, and count that as his Jet Bike. Think that would be acceptable to you or rules in general?

I think it would be entirely appropriate and cool. Just so long as your opponent knew what it was before the game. I would suggest converting (at least slightly) the grav platform as well though, just to make sure people would not be confused in some way. Sounds like a cool idea. Go for it. When you have him done, pls post a pic in the modelling forum- I'd like to see your idea played out in form.

See if you can bits order the Throne from Vect's Ravager. Then mount a jetbike driver and seat behind the thone on top of the grav platform. Then it will look like some kind of high-tech shuttle service for important eldar. (I don't think I will look at old people being shuttled in airports the same way again).

not only do I think it's perfectly legal, I think I might copy it for myself .

I'm never been big on Farseers and Warlock Bodyguards on jetbikes save for actual Warlocks in squads.

Now you've got me thinking, I have a 10 man bodyguard I think I'll convert something so they can stand on it.
