I bought a 2001 Ex-Police Transalp at Auction last year for £2,000. It had 18,000 miles on it and came with full luggage. The mechanical side was pretty good but the body work and wheels were in pretty poor shape.
I stripped in down in November of last year and spent a lot of time on E-Bay buying bits and pieces here and there to replace broken, damaged and rusty parts.
I had the panels re-sprayed (No prizes for guessing where I got the colour scheme) and added a CM seat, driving lights, new blue tinted screen, Touring Scott-Oiler, rubber fork protectors, Touratech headlight guard, alloy chain guidance and chain guard.
A full service, new chain and sprockets and a re-placement stock exhaust off a 2007 Transalp. I have a Data-Tool Immobiliser waiting to go on and plan to get the rear wheel rebuilt when I can gather the money together.
I'm pretty pleased with the result and thought I'd share a few photo's with you. I know I could have bought a newer bike with the money I've spent on this, but I've really enjoyed getting it done. Most of the time.
