I'm not great with the electrical mods, so when Brian and Darryl from Cyclops offered to come down and install their Aux lighting, tail lighting, and motorcycle TPMS on my Honda Transalp 750 for me, I of course immediately said yes. These Transalp 750 upgrades will make me safer and more visible on the road and give me much more immediate feedback and information about my motorcycle tire pressure.
While these aren't what I'd call essential Transalp XL750 mods, they do offer increased safety and peace of mind and I highly recommend considering them if you have a 2024 XL750 Transalp.
Thank you to Darryl and Brian from Cyclops for coming down and installing this amazing Honda Transalp 750 lighting on my bike. Here's a list:

Thanks for having us down and letting us garner some important information on the TransAlp.

@B1gZ23 8 месяцев назад

Enjoy it Dork, enjoy. I don't own a bike, but have wanted one since I was 5. I'll get one eventually. Enjoy the trials and tribulations and live the life some of us dream of (not the youtube part. LOL. you can have that).

I've had the skene lights on my K1600 top box for many years. Immediately noticed cars behind me were backing off sooner. Highly recommended.

@Iceboater54 8 месяцев назад

Ben, love your channel. After watching your previous Cyclops video I bought two sets of the taillight lights, one for me and one for my son. Will be installing next Spring when we get the bikes out of winter storage. I really like seeing the guys from Cyclops working on the bikes and it does make me want to buy from them! They are cool, normal guys ! I like your feedback on the sense of how the lights are helping with your visibility to car drivers. My son was tapped from behind last Spring. No damage or injuries but way too close! Hopefully these lights will lower this risk a little. Thanks!

Someday I'll have a nice size garage working on my powered paraglider and all the different dual sport motorcycles and scooters I plan to own.

@AbramsGunner 8 месяцев назад

I've had a set of the Aurora DRL model setup for high-beams on my Tiger 800 for a couple of years now... Outstanding product! The anodizing does fade with the sun over time, but they still look good. The DRL is fantastic for visibility even in bright daylight. I notice people actively notice me, especially on the backroads where I spend 95% of my time. I'd 100% buy them again.

@RedBirdStation 8 месяцев назад

Dork in the road, you and the Cyclops team has finally convinced me to order my lights. Just got off the phone with Brian and he helped me with my questions and harness advice. Keep up the good product reviews. Ride Safe

I got these Skene P3 lights a couple weeks ago for my KLR and they are excellent. Thanks Cyclops! I appreciate the extra visibility and the decelerometer is nice because it activates the lights without needing to activate the brake. Easy to install too. Highly recommended!

Great Video. just got my first Enduro for a great price. I picked up a 2017 CRF250l with 19k miles in cherry condition. Looks like used as a commuter. I have to stand on the peg to get on the bike due to 30 inch inseam and 54 year old body.. LOL.. but its so much lighter and more fun to play on than my HD Heritage Softail Classic. now saving for a better seat.. let the mods begin.

Should have waited for the Transalp. Pulled my deposit and picked up a 23 Husky 701. I really love the 701 off road and it does OK out on the pavement. But the more I see your Honda develop… So many wonderful choices eh ?

I've been eyeing this bike. (Nice videos) I almost pulled the trigger last week on an order... As I see it, the bike is missing protection (skid plate, bars) and tubeless knoby tires with monitors. Not to mention hand guards. I love the $10 k price tag, but be honest ... With all the mods you've done, how much would person paying retail have to spend.

@DorkintheRoad 8 месяцев назад

You'd end up buying crash protection and new tires with any bike. It sure is nice to start with one that only costs ten grand.

@mbarr691 14 дней назад

@Ben do you happen to know what resistor they used on the Aurora lights? I bought a set from them but I can't get the main lights to come on. The ring lights come in and link to the turn signals but I can't get the main lights to work.

@Grasshoppa97 8 месяцев назад

Quick question- I got the TPMS for my Transalp and see that you mounted yours to the dash and not the bars. The plastic there looks almost like Teflon meaning that it looks like it does not want things to stick to it. How do you feel about the location now and why not put it on the bars? Thanks!

Hilarious! Thanks for being excellent in the comments with humor referencing Dork rants! We all know you have to ride a Tenere if you want to “real camp.” PS. He should have sold the Tenere and kept the Norden!
