I'd like to experiment with a modification to the rear brake lever of my XL700 Transalp but want to keep my original lever in case it goes horribly wrong! Are the splines the same across the different Transalp models (or any other Hondas)? This would open up the choice of spare parts/price...

I would like to customise my FX650 and wonder if anyone has fitted alloy 3 spoke wheels [like those on a Suzuki GS500] to their Honda. If this is a doable how complex is it or is there an easy way of fitting wheels from another bike which need little modification. Any photos would be helpful.

Has anyone e done this modification. I like the thought of USD forks. I know I'd need the triple clamps as well but would love to know if anyone has done this mod? Ben Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I have recently purchased and fitted a genuine Honda centre stand to my 2004 Transalp XL 650, I’m not comfortable how the bike feels very unstable whilst on the stand. Its ok in the garage (alone) but I’m not happy while people are around as it would not take much to knock it forward off the...

Has anyone fitted a flatside carb to their dommie? I have sorted out a RD08 inlet manifold and have the jets and needle required on order from a guy in Holland as they dont seem to be available in the uk and he has to order the needle from the Japan which will be another two weeks. I just...

I've just had my first ride with my new Scorpion pipes fitted. It was only a local tootle about with a few short dual carriageways. I loved the sound of them in my garage with the baffles in so I thought for my first ride i'd take them out. “Ay caramba!” that is one hell of a growl. I don't...

Hi to all and best greetings from Athens, Greece. Please, be patient with my poor English. I own an AT XRV 650 and recently I've bought Wiseco K696 kit from Amazon at a nice price. This kit is originally made for NT 650 GT Hawk which shares the same engine with AT XRV 650. By increasing...

Hi all, Probably a stupid question but having never had to insured a bike in the UK I was not sure so thought I would ask as my insurance company could not answer the question without speaking to the underwriters. Anyhow, I am planning on get a 24lt Acerbis fuel tank on my XR650R and changing...

Looking at replacing my front wheel from 21inch to 19inch. Will a 19inch from a SLR fit straight on using the 19inch front disc. Can I use the original caliper, brembo in my case (97 model) or do I use one from and SLR/Vigor. If so will the caliper bolt straight on to fork leg without...

Hey guys, Been looking for a way to lower my footpegs on the TA 700, searched all over for a while and have stumbled on a few good choices. But what I'm really wondering is, which other models does the TA 700 share footpegs with? It could really widen the ebay search to know which, if any...
