Honda XL600V Transalp

Sure the Suzuki DR350 is a great motorcycle but for longer trips with a lot of highway it is just torture so I had a Transalp. And now that it is so hard to get a Transalp I miss her!

Accessories

Top Box - a waterproof top box that will be great for my laptop for those long trips.

Luggage Rack - Perfect for soft luggage. Some modifications where needed, but it was successful in the end.

Modifications

Voltage Meter - measures how many volts you have left in your battery. It also has a 12V outlet which can be very useful if you have a phone charger, but it can drain your battery as well. Therefore, the voltage meter.

Heated Grips - for those cold days! Not a typical motorcycle heated grip, but made for a snowmobile!

LED lights - like the LED lights for the KTM, these are great if you ever get caught in the dark.

Lowering the rear - I am short, and it easy enough to lower the front forks. The rear on the other hand, took a little more work, but was well worth it.
