    Right, rebuild time.

    All those who know me also know I have a vast collection of Transalp 650 bits in the garage. Ebay has just given me some more, so I only need a few to have enough to build a whole one!!

    The plan is to produce a motley-coloured one, but apart from that sort of standard. Won't be selling it, so won't need it to colour match, but I do want the weather protection offered by the original fairings etc. It will only be doing the slightest of off-road stuff, so will be "jiggled" to be a long distance adventure bike not a rally bike as before.

    So, please suggest away, what bits work for you, your favorite mod/change and anything else I should know. All ideas incorperated will be credited!!

    Any bits for sale too, give me a shout!!



    How it used to look!

    Good luck with the rebuild!

    If you are after crashbars, I have a scuffed but otherwise fine set of Touratech crashbars (insurance payed for a new set) going pretty bloody cheap if you are interested? I also have a Honda tall touring screen, which was second hand when I bought it to see if I liked it or not. I didn't and just havent got round to selling it yet, thats also for sale. Its got a load of light scratches all over it and a few deeper scratches, but it does the job.
