LJWalter Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I picked up this 03 Triumph TT600 a couple of weeks ago. Rough shape to say the least. The previous moron that owned her abused, spray painted & ultimately wrecked her. I will update the thread as work continues. Please please if you have advise or suggestions, post em!!Thanks!

LJWalter Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I am going to go with the naked/streetfighter look. These fairings are repairable. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadKaw636 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 How much did ya pay for it looks like a good decent bike to fixer back.up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'd suggest a seat and a tank to start... Good luck with this project, and keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I also just purchased a project bike that Im going to build back like streetfighter / bobber. What type of ideas do you have for yours? Are you planning on doing some customization or just removing the fairings and ridding naked? Check out my RC51 Project thread if you wanna see the mess I'm getting into. Good luck on your build cant wait for pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I stole it, $800. Tanks & seats r overrated! Trying to be different... lolTank & rear fairing out for paint, Thanks Ninjascott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Yea, naked for sure. I am trying some different ideas for the ram-air system, which i lose with the removing the fairings. Its getting creative... Ill check ur thread for sure Cooter. I'll also call you if the general lee breaks down & i need a tow. lol Edited January 3, 2012 by LJWalter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 You might be able to use the older speed 4 parts to go naked on that. It was the naked version of the tt 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Work on the exhaust today, with some mods I was able to fit a stock Ninja pipe. From a xr-10 i think..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The pipe, I may keep it, depends on my budget. The price was right too, free! whoohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thanks speedytriple, you are right. I got a chain guard off a speed4 after your suggestion, it fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 With frame sanding almost complete, I am shopping flat black automotive paint for the frame. Suggestions? Any type you have had good luck with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I was a big fan of the TT600... but I remember the FI being pretty bad....I believe Triumph release several different tunes to try and smooth it out....did you ride it yet?

Simplysix Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 The pipe, I may keep it, depends on my budget.

Would look nice and keep the price right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 they changed the fueling in 03 if I remember correctly. They are nice bikes. Triumphrat.net will be a big help to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Okay so I have a problem, I need to come up with a way to mount the instument cluster. With the bike being naked, i have lost the original placement. Please chime in if you have ideas. Thanks!

Simplysix Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Are u using the stock cluster? Might be easier to mount an aftermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
