It has been a long time since i started this topic but after a few years and a 2 hour drive i have the bike and tank back in my garage,
everything is all down to me now to get started, tanks certainly impressive and huuuuge compared to other XT and TT tanks.
I have acumilated parts and have a good idea what i need to do after restoring a few TT's.
Cap thread is a XT600 fine thread rather than a TT course thread type, there are also internal baffle to stop the fuel sloshing about
altering the halndling when riding and twin fuel taps. Decals maybe a problem so any ideas are always welcome, maybe Bobster can help.

It will be a while before its done but im going to enjoy this one and its better than building a cafe racer.
