Modifications

Africa Twin XRV750

Many parts from the XRV750 and XRV650 Africa Twins are interchangeable with the Transalp. 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 this page, "the left AT petcock is the same as the petcock for a 1990 NT650 Honda Hawk" ($55 at BikeBandit.com).

Brakes

• XR650RR Super Motard mentions a Braking oversized rotor kit on an XR650L (despite the XR650RR title).
• See Transalp Brakes for information.

Accessories

Luggage

Racks

• Happy Trails makes aluminum panniers and steel luggage racks. Their mounting kits are also usable with GIVI and Pelican cases.
• GIVI offers topcase adapters which replace the plate on the Transalp's rear carrier. They also produce crashbars.
  • The E200 Monorack plate is available for 1988-1996 applications (note that the E211 may also be listed, but is for 1997-1998 applications):
    • Midwest Cycle Supply
    • AZ Motorsports
    • Happy Trails

Crashbars

• The TN363 crash bars are available from AZ Motorsports and Happy Trail. Mounting these to a US-spec Transalp requires longer bolts across the front and minor trimming of the bike's plastic radiator guard.
