Why not buy SW Motech came in black and no need to spend extra for power coating?

You are absolutely right. That is definitely the way to go. Sine I was already stuck with the OEM stuff, I was just trying to figure out the best way to do it.

I have the exact same upgrades waiting to be installed on my TA...plus Veridian CC and Honda heated grips and 12V socket. Black is definitely a go on the bars and skid plate! The silver is a better look on my '19 ATAS than on the TA, for sure. Nice job!
@chunkybullmoto22 күн бұрын
Thanks. The upgrades you are doing sound great. Let me know how the heated grips work out for you.

That is not a Transalp issue, it is a "too much time on your hands and too much spare chage in your pockets" type deal, but hey you have to be happy with what you own so if you can do it, have at it. Looks good.

@@chunkybullmoto It was one of the first 'improvements' made to my Transalp one year ago. I was surprised how heavy it was, and so usually use the bike without it, with a day bag strapped around the pillion seat.

Looks great! It's worth mentioning for folks who are looking that the cost of the OEM crash protection +$400 for powder coating is more than twice as expensive as an already black aftermarket kit from a company like SRC in Oregon or Outback Motortek.

Absolutely. If I had to do it over I would have definitely went with aftermarket kit from the beginning.

I have done the same thing with my engine guard and crash bars, I left the skid plate aluminum as I didn’t want it to look plastic, which I think makes it look to much like a sport bike.

Nice! Just doing the bars would be great as well.

I had to have a yellow too, it ticked off two silly bucket list goals, 1 own a yellow vehicle, (but white would have probably subbed as a last resort lol), and 2 buying a brand new vehicle, ...have to say, after 1 year, not overly impressed with build and fit & finish quality I expected from Honda, I love having one though, had a few quirky vehicles in my time 👍 keep an eye under mudguards and act accordingly as rust can form (I'm in UK though!) and paint chipping off 🤦♂️
