Twin mods for trip
people, i've got one of the few Twins in USA and am thinking of taking it on my next stage in south america. its a '93, originally from germany. some questions. 1- how much horsepower does this model have. It has a giovanni or something after market exhaust. 2- what modifications should i consider doing.
I'm thinking of the following; Hi shield. Acerbis hand guards. Stronger front springs. stronger rear spring and/or shock. two plugs for vests. Throttle lock. Custom 2 up seat with backrest for wife. Bigger gearing for better hiway economy. Pirelli MT60's with monster tubes and slime. Give me some comments about this. |

Hi Tom,
congratulations to your bike. There really just a few in USA. For a lot of infos have a look at www.atic.org with international Africa Twin-mailinglist, faq, links, accessorylist & more. I own a ‚93 RD07 . It has nearly 60 HP. Changes I made; GPR- exhaust, Steelflex brakehoses, mainstand (original Honda), Acerbis-handguards, Scottoiler, safety bars, stronger front springs, shortway gasthrottle, Give-screen, K&N-Airfilter, 25 mm handlebar extensions (great), customized seat. A lot of this stuff you’ll find at www.africanqueens.de and www.touratech.de (German, with prices) or www.touratech-usa.com (english, no prices). Next week I will get a Mikuni petrolpump (76 EURO). Mine stopped twice now. CU Ron / Munich |
