Fred´s TT 600 36A/59X bastard

Aha.... hmmmmm... nononnononooooo!!!!
;-)

YES YES YES YES

The risers off of a XTZ 660 will rise the handlebar for about an inch.
This is still not the 100 % solution.
The riserbolts are just 8 mm. The standard TT-Bolts are 10mm. And I will lose the rubbermounting...
Hmmmmm..... any thougts?

You could remove the 8mm mounting studs from the XTZ660 risers, then drill & tap the holes & fit the 10mm bolts from the TT.

Hi Rick,
have you done that before?
The bolts look as if they are casted together with the alloypart.
But it´s worth a try... I will try.
Other solution would be a higher handlebar...
Would be a lot of work due to the indicators beeing in the handlebar...

Fred how much higher you need to go?
You know there are handlebar risers or"Lenker Erhöhungen". you have from 20 up to 50 mm ones.
I made ones myself some time ago for my XR.
Look here.......

You get them for tappered bars(fat bars) or the standard ones.

You mean like this?



This is the situation right now. (30 mm) Not bad but.... ok, I could paint them black. This would help.
I like the XTZ - riser (just measured only 20 mm ) because they look original.
Thanks for help.

No I've not tried it, just an idea that came into my head.

I'm sure you can find a way of changing the bolt, "How hard can it be?"(Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear, numerous times)
Put them in the oven for an hour & see if the stud unwinds.

Any progress. See back at the top.

Aaah, Thanks! :-)
Yes, after the looooong (120 KM) trip to the WinTTertreffen in Hoope I had the seatpanstructure stamped on my arse.
This pushed things foreward. The foam of the saet is totally worn.
Last week I brought the green- puke -seat to the holsterer (? right?) explaint everything what I want and the (in this case ) woman left for holliday.
Two weeks... grmpf.

I cleaned the Acerbistank and the stickers for it.

A member from the TT forum in Germany will make some new Stickers for me.
To avoid that the stickers will come off due to the petrolgases I will have to make a layer of Kreem Weis or something simular into the tank.
If someone has got information about this ?

Today I had a little rideout with the Tenere. And I must say if I had to decide which bike to prefer... I would take the TT. It is much more... you would say snappier, I think.

Äääääh, how should I say.
The Tenere is a sofa and
and the TT is a knife
or äääh the like do you understand?

If I had the choice I would take the TT but have not been able to find a half decent one. So I got a bit impatient because I have been looking for a while now and bought this before the money was appropriated by SWMBO for something else.

Not had a chance to go over it properly, but all electrics work as they should just not idling properly but it has been sat for a long time and there is very little fuel in the tank.

[Fred333]

Well, yes! Here it is!

It´s not actually higher... it is allot tougher.
I hope I will have some time tomorrow to make a little ride around.
