And here they are - TA owners' favourite accessories, based on a survey amongst the
members of International Transalp Mailing List. To understand this: Inquired was a top 10
list of accessories, each member had added to his/her Transalp, with the best thought or
most important on no. 1. For each no.1 item I gave 10 points, for a no.2 item 9 points,
and so on. Some items I combined to groups, f.e. I combined the items "steel braided
brake line", "bigger front brake rotor", and "brake pads" to the
group "brake enhancement", and Christos' police siren I added to "louder
horns" ;-). Click the links for a detailed look at the items of a group.
So far I received data from 14 TAML members. And if you are not a TAML member, feel
free to send me your personal top10 accessories anyway. And at least, you're also free to
become a member of that famous, world-wide Transalp Mailing List (TAML).
Please note, that this is not a list of accessories mostly mounted on a TA, but a list considered the most important ones by TA owners. Also, not everything is mounted, but desired to be mounted ...
