Great content, thought you'd gone a rad with a painted nail, but looks like self abuse 😅

How difficult is putting in the skid plate and crash bars, for a first time? How long of a job is it?

My question still stands from episode 2 and has gone unanswered: How well does this bike stack up against the 800DE Suzuki???……also, NEVER use the adjustment marks on the swingarm to align a chain. If you do, 90% of the time the chain will be out of alignment. The proper way is to find the proper tension of the chain and then do the final alignment by looking down the chain on top, from the rear sprocket down to the countershaft sprocket, similar to sighting down the barrel of a rifle. Slowly make adjustments to each side until the desired tension and alignment is achieved. Trust me, this is the ONLY way to properly align and adjust a chain. if it's necessary to remove the chain guard to gain a clear view, so be it. You MUST align both sprockets by sighting down the top of the chain or premature chain wear will occur.

nice modification! try reviewing the Qj SRT800SX

For more off-road, I'm thinking about swapping my BMW 750 GS with Transalp. Honda is a bit lighter and not as top heavy as GS, but is higher (seat height).

Ian, this is the exact episode I’ve been waiting for.
The links to all the accessories will really help.
I am currently saving up to by my TransAlp without financing.
I will definitely be doing the same transformation to mine.
Also, kudos to you for doing all this tedious work yourself, and for having such a clean, organized, and well appointed garage.
Let’s Ride!

would like to see you get hold of a chinese ktm 790 & your thoughts & comparisons to the 890

Will Africa Twin rims fit the Transalp? I see VMX makes tubeless rims for the Africa Twin (and many other bikes) in many colors. If they won't fit, maybe contacting VMX can get them to start making Transalp specific ones.

Thanks for another great video, very informative, I really appreciate your attention to the details. I also appreciate your choice of parts they look good and are sure to work well since I hope to be the next owner of this bike .
