That's exactly why the Alp is the GOAT adventure bike 😁

We had at least 6 different companies making these conversions back in the day in Denmark. This specific conversion was made i low numbers by Vemmelev Maskinfabrik, mine was number 53 and as far as I know, less than 100 were made in total.

@@keddesmart125 thanks

@@aiden9730 you're welcome

Depends which country you live in

@@keddesmart125 Australia

Sorry mate. I dont no about Aussie prices and tax conditions.. I am in Denmark which has psycopathic tax rates - here a used 600 Alp will usually sell for 3200-4000 Euro.. In neighbouring Germany an Alp sells for about 1200-1800 Euros.

@@keddesmart125 thank for that mate I will put it up for $6000 Australia 👍

Thanks for watching. I doubt it is a design choice based on cooling since the Alp is very lowpowered and also watercooled.

Yep, its not bad at all, no bottom end but good power as revs rise

Cool, thanks 👍

Thanks, glad you liked the content.!

Great, yeah it's a repair most people can do.

Thanks, form your specific model search for "44806MV1003" on google. I use www.cmsnl.com for Honda OEM parts. My Alp is production year 1994.

Maybe the same engine, the Fordson Super Major Engine have a really distinct sound. Allways reminds me of good times on my grand parents homestead som e decades ago.

Thanks, you definitely should participate if possible. There is so much interesting stuff there that you can spend hour after hour in the museum.

@@keddesmart125 Do you have to book a place or can you just turn up?

To my knowledge it is kind of organized chaos, but I dont think you have to book and if you arrive in a truck you'll just park beside all the other trucks in the parking lot. If you bring stationary engines you should probably come the day before as there is also ususally a nice little gettogether the evening before the show. There is always use for a helping hand in the last few days up to the meet and if i recall correctly they used to have a deal with a local bed'n breakfast just a few hundred meters down the road if you contact them in advance.

@@keddesmart125 Many thanks for the information.

@@davidjones8680 You are welcome 😀

Greetings Robert, thanks for the sub. I agree the engine collection is really special and the restorations are top notch. On that day the museum was so crowded that I could not film properly inside, so I may go and make a part 2 on a day with less visitors, to get a proper look at the engines. I worked there as a volunteer and have a major stake in the making of the Field Marshall/Fowler VF Crawler.

1987, that's the genesis Alp <3. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I dont really know how much(or little) Honda changed from the 600 to the 650.

Great, I'm happy you found it usefull :-)

You are welcome. I need to change clutch plates and fork oil within the next weeks, so more to come. Cheers

@@keddesmart125 Great, I just picked up a 1993 yesterday that’s in real good condition. I look forward to following along. I wish you a nice week :)

You too :-)

Good luck with the rebuild and thanks a lot for the feedback. Cheers

Great to hear you saved the old Transalp. How many turns are you're mixture screws out?If you are 4 turns out, maybe try like 6-7 turns out, just to see if the mixture screws have any effect, if not something is clogged up. Since popping is lean mixture, have you double checked all intake rubbers, airfilter etc, to confirm there is no air leak? If there is an air leak on the intake it is more serious as it will also lean out the mixture at high revs, causing possible engine death. Let me know what you find out.

You're welcome, getting nice feedback makes it worth the effort :-)

Thanks a lot, you're welcome. The good old Alp is pretty much bullet proof. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Cheers from Denmark

No, it is a 4 cylinder engine just like the original. However from the engine number we see the original engine was changed in 1976 to an "Industri Motor", but with same specs as the original. The loader build year is 1964. By the way, I sold the Fordson yesterday.

Yes it is, I wrenched on old stationary engines and gensets for a while and it was indispensable for the heavy lifts. Sadly I am selling it as I'm moving from my homestead to something smaller. Have a great day.

Thanks. I guess that's about the wear limit for the stock clutch, if you listen closely you'll actually hear my clutch slipping in some parts of the footage and I have exactly 72,768km on the odometer. Waiting for replacement clutch discs and slightly heavier springs to drop in the mail. Cheers.

@@keddesmart125 Yeah around 70-75k km sounds about right. Did mine couple of months ago at around 51k miles - 1993 model

@@walles1 Even failure is consistent with the good old Alps, it seams😍. Just got my clutch spare parts so I guess I'll do mine next weekend and see if I can make a video in process. Cheers.

Thanks a lot mate, I'm still learning how to make videos, but this is the first one that I really put some hours and effort into. About 1½ month from I started the script to the finished video - largely due to endless rain, making it hard to capture proper footage. The fuel cap mystery is hidden somewhere in the user manual, but not a very clever design feature. Best of luck with your '87 Alp - Great bike :-)

It has some flaws, but of the 15+ bikes I have owned it is the one I love the most 😍. I am in the process of making a 30 year review on the Transalp, it should be uploaded wityhin a week or so. Have a great day.

Yeah, pretty rare also, I thing less than 100 were built. As it's a Super major body and engine is in fine condition it allways starts.

Mine is the round one. I run without the Db killer for two reasons. One; it sounds very farty with the db killer installed. Two; The standard jetting fits better for no db killer - if i mount the db killer it has some lag when twisting the throttle. I'm very happy with the Dominator :-)

Did you lower the gearing ? Something I wish would have tried on mine.

@@keddesmart125 i've ordered the oval one, waiting for delivery, also planing on runing without the DB killer! Just wondering, if its really loud without it?

@@Whowhatwherewhen5 No, I run stock gearing as I dont do single trail and also have a bit of tarmac riding and the stock gearing is on the low side for tarmac. Slipping the clutch is fine for slow twisty bumpy terrain.

@@damyanexssessgeorgiev6 Depends, if you love the v-twin sound, run without. I really dont like the sound with the Db killer installed, it's just...farty 😂

Thanks, it was spotless when i bought it a year ago, but now it's used for gravel road fun, so starting to get a few scratches here and there

yes, the the major is a solid starter
