| =Modifications=
| |
| ==Africa Twin XRV750==
| |
| Many parts from the XRV750 and XRV650 Africa Twins are interchangeable with the Transalp. [http://www.bbb-bike.com/history/honda/africatwin/ This page] (Japanese) has a full history of the Africa Twin.

| | |
| ===Fuel Tank===
| |
| RD03 and RD04 fuel tanks (identical other than color scheme) fit the Transalp frame. According to [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=136 this page], "the left AT petcock is the same as the petcock for a 1990 NT650 Honda Hawk" ([http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/honda-motorcycle-nt650-hawk-gt-1990/o/m2452 $55 at BikeBandit.com]).

| ==Brakes==
| |
| *[http://members.aol.com/xr650rr/ XR650RR Super Motard] mentions a Braking oversized rotor kit on an XR650L (despite the XR650RR title).
| |
| * See [[Transalp Brakes]] for information.

| ==GSXR-1000==
| |
| According to [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=195 this thread] (advrider.com), 2001 - 2004 GSXR1000 mufflers are a relatively easy add-on.
| |
| <blockquote>Not quite a direct bolt-on but close. I got two 15° bend stainless steel tubes from Burns Stainless and rotated them until I got the right angle. Then I made the flange to bolt on the muffler. I attached the muffler and then tacked the flange and the two sections in place. I'm not a welder so you won't see a close-up shot. I originally had a GSXR1000 muffler on because it was titanium. But when I put the bags and mounts on, the muffler was too big and in the way. So I swapped it out for a 750 or 600 unit, shorter but not titanium. Fortunately, it weighs the same due to the shorter length.</blockquote>

| |
| | |
| ===YTX14AH-BS===
| |
| According to [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=184 this thread], the stock lead-acid battery, YB12A-B, can be replaced with a sealed lead-acid battery, YTX14AH-BS. The only modification necessary is to remove the battery insulator sleeve.
| |
| | |
| ===NT650===
| |
| The [http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39170&page=184 same thread] indicates that the sealed battery specified for a Hawk NT650V can be used on the Transalp, but it requires a 1/8" shim underneath and possible cutting of the battery sleeve.

| |
| *[http://www.givi.it GIVI] offers topcase adapters which replace the plate on the Transalp's rear carrier. They also produce crashbars.

Mounting these to a US-spec Transalp requires longer bolts across the front and minor trimming of the bike's plastic radiator guard.
