Danjets Honda Transalp

Post by Danjet600 »

i totally blame mez for this bike, we were just going to "look" at a tenere that mez had heard about sitting in a shed
anyway mez purchased the bike and i happened to notice the transalp sitting in the shed all covered in dust and now looking very lonely so i had to give it a new home :tough:
just rolled out of the shed
Image
transalp and tenere no.4 mez?, loaded in the back of the love bus
Image
and a few more pics

and i would like to end up with it looking something like this
Image
possibly with an africa twin style color sceme :rtfi:

havn't managed to spend much time with the alp yet, got a new battery for it and bugger me all the electrics work :yess:
so next step checked all the fluids, drained the fuel tank put in some fresh gogo juice hit the starter with the plugs out got spark and oil pressure :yay:
plugs look good, whacked them back in and hit the starter no go :sadnanna:
so removed air filter got a can of start ya bastard............... and she starts on the gas but won't run on fuel :foot_tap:
next up will be to pull the carbs and inspect

Does look nice eh, you think the swingarm, rims & bashplate are powdercoated? and that fairing would have been a custom paintjob for sure.

I like this one i saw on XRV.org, i sent Danny this pick about an hour after we picked the bikes up.

I just wish id had the money to buy the Tenere & the Transalp. :cry:

Nice Transalp Danny.... I had one years ago, I did a track day on mine at Croft, in the rain.... must of been 1998..... I lapped everyone on their GSXR's, 916's,Fireblade's, etc.... & a month later read about myself in Northern Biker magazine..... see if I can find it....


This is a Paris Dakar type Transalp I spotted in Switzerland
