im just starting this project for a mate,it is based on a 95 600SS the plan is to get it as close as poss with out spending big bucks,the original frame will be used with a new subframe and some bracing on the frame and some chopping out,a step back with dymag skinny 18" wheels and 2 pot brembos and conventional forks R6,dry clutch cable operated,36mm dellortos on short manifolds,alloy tank and F2 fibreglass,big problem will be the exhaust as the rear head is the wrong way round but i have a idea for that this is the pattern for the cable clutch which will be cast one its ready.
More pictures please! I had the same carb issue with my Pantah using a later 750 motor. I chopped and welded a couple of manifolds to give the PHF36's a nice run through the frame rails.
i have just finished making the tank,f2 tank wont fit as the frame rails are tapered and the ss are parallel so if you cant buy it make it,im not sure on the silencers yet ie single or twin megga f1 style black either way.
D'you know why they have a nice lustre to them Peter? It's because they have nothing that isn't required, they are pure machines designed to do nothing but go as fast as they can. That's the appeal.
we made a bit of progress this week,R6 forks fitted,the rear subframe has been cut and reshaped,the 18" Dymags are in,we have some bracing to finish on the frame and the framework for the rearsets to finish.
we will be changing the swingarm for a alloy ss version,the bike needs to be finished for the end of the month so we wont have time to fab a arm,we still have a big list of jobs to do on it ..frame to finish,brakes adaptor plates,rear sets,fairing and brackets,exhaust,electrics,battery box etc,breather tank...and a load of stuff i will have forgot about.
Great project, and good luck. From the photo it looks more like a 1980/81 TT600 than a 1982/83 TTF2. TT600
