Show us your TransAlp modifications!

Leds are diodes. They conduct in only one direction. If for some reason yours started to conduct (or not conduct) in a direction it's not supposed to I guess that might cause the condition you were experiencing.
Electrons will find the path of least resistance.... whether you want them to or not.

So, brothers are good for something ???

The good thing is, I know all switches are good.
Brothers still suck.

Hi man! You placed main spoket wrong side!

As someone who just installed an LED light, this kind of freaks me out. Hrmm. Maybe I should stick the old bucket back in and just upgrade the bulb?

I'm running two LED headlights in mine, two LED tail lights and four LED running lights/turn signals.

If yours quits, unplug the headlight.

Good to know! And well hey, at least now I know! lol

Oh, and two LED aux lights.

I can't explain it at all. I did hit a very good sized pothole to get this mess started.
Rode to work and home 30ish miles today with no problem.

Naming names is the one of the reasons this site exists.....SPILL THE DIRT.

.....and save us from repeating the error

Working on a friends Chinese bike right now while he tries to save his business.....thanks to (oh the irony)....the Chinese.

Hint: It’s rubbish

Stay away.....far away

Cyclops. It was a big pot hole on the dirt road. Completely blew through the for travel and for a moment thought I pinched the front tube. Should probably check the rim. Didn't think about that till right now.

Have a look at spoke tension also

I built the wheels. No problems there.

tooting own horn thingy

Is the flywheel bolt reverse thread? I can't remember.

This one hurts. I didn't want to split the cases until I noticed this.

Nope....its just really tight. Got an electric or pneumatic impact wrench? The only left hand threads I know of on the TA are the mirror mounts.....oddly enough

You may want to be certain you can source the shaft first. Last I looked, they were getting a bit thin on the ground.

I have decided to lower my ta back to stock ride height and wanted to ask if someone can measure the overall length of the stock 89 US model fork tubes fully extended from top to approximate axle center line?

I’m also seeking a kickstand and upgraded shock in stock length
Please see my ad in flea market

Hey Tag, how many miles you got on your bike now??

It's at 65k nowadays.

Still breaking it in eh?

Slowly. Should have had a few more miles on it this year already, but.......

Just put in new fork bushings, oil and hyperpro progressive springs.
Still waiting on my frame from the sandblaster but it will probably be back in 2 weeks...
Enough time to prepare more parts for painting.
