Value
Unless the TA is in pristine condition, completely original and worth to conserve it like a classic, I wont do any mod on it, but those extras made for them.
But, considering that these bikes are 20 years old, no replacement, one may mod them to suit their needs and their likes. In my case the bike was pristine, but was damaged while shipping it to PR. So, the rest is history. For me, it will add value among the ones who know these bikes and their heritage. Anyway, there is no other bike like a TA!!!!! I'll take close up pics in the future and then you tell me if it adds value. Honda in PR offered me to keep a bike I had (CL350K5) for a couple of weeks in their showroom.  I wonder if they'll ask me this time... Quote:

I was thinking the same thing Carlos. If I ever sold my TAAT pricing it would be a little bit of a puzzle. Sad thing is when I got done with the conversion, I dont want to take it off road

Here is one I made for my NX250 out of hardware store steel tubing and a $30 Harbor Freight tubing bender. Works great and easy to make.
