Hi Leigh,

your picture and info is most inspiring! so far i didn't found any stories of high-mileage TTR travels.

tnx!

back on topic: So far i get about 20kms / ltr. tarmac highway speed.

cheers,
Sander

Hi Leigh,

off-topic, i know, but what kind of windshield do you use?

regs.

Hi Sanderd

I got an email a couple nights ago from a guy about a windshield for a TTR, I’m at work at the moment so I’ll update this post when I get in. thanks for the KEDO link :)

Regards
Shaun

update

NationalCycle.com screen and Acerbis Rally Brush Guards and Spoilers

This is the txt from john

nationalcycle.com and I got it from M&P in UK. I forget the model. Obviously it wasn't designed for the bike but it worked. It was OK on the road too but it did cause a bit of 'lift' at 80 mph in the wet on the autobahn - enough to have an aquaplane. That was probably down as much to the high front mudguard and the lake on the road though.


For slower touring and offroad it was fine and the screen can be angled far enough up so your chest does not hit it when standing. It also a 'pop off' so if you go over the bars you don't impale yourself. About 60 quid as I recall. A bit of faffing to make it fit but it worked fine and saved paying stupid money for the pukka thing.

...have seen that one before. i think i saw this TTR on the german ttr site with pictures of the ttr meeting 2007. i hope this meeting wil be held in 2009, would be nice to meet other (international) TTR owners.

screen looks good, although a little high. transparant is good also.
Kedo sells MRA screens with dark grey color (don't no how to call this in english).

i'll try to build something myself first.... still got three months before i go... :mchappy:.

cheers,
Sander

Universal screens can fit

Dark grey = "smoked" (usually).

From earlier discussion of fitting windscreens, some bikes have managed a good fit with universal screens, such as the spitfire:-

Nice to see the TT600 discussion continues among all the XT posts BTW!! :thumbup1:

Possibly...
 

That was probably me, I was at the 2007 TTR treffen in Wilsleben. My screen is a Secdem "pare brise" model for an XT600. Not cheap £80.00 ish. I got mine from Baglux in wales mail order. Get the code from the Secdem web site and they should be able to order for you.

Hi ukiceman,

i took a few pictures:

sanderd : photos : TTR- powered by SmugMug

let me know if you have any questions.

* i you use the OTR centerstand, you need longer bolts.
* i fitted the black iron thing different on the panniers than standart: i didn't like the flexibility with using the original holes. (sorry, can't explain it better, but when u are working on it you'll see what i mean.

let me know if this helps, also we can have a chat with msn if required.

cheers,

thank you
 

Hi Sanderd

Thanks for the quick response and all the pictures, that helps a lot, thank-you.

Did OTR supply the longer bolts, or did you give up and get them yourself?
And, how much longer were they, just the width of the stand (about 5mm) or a bit longer

I’m probably not going to get the job done for 2 or 3 weeks, so if I get stuck I’ll drop you a mail

Regards
Shaun

The bolts should come from OTR, they will be difficult to source elsewhere due to size/length.
I would be careful modifying the rack in case you weaken it, the OTR rack is probably the strongest available for the TTR/RE, so it makes sense to keep it that way.
The TTR Treffen is on again this year in July, see http://www.tt600r.eu/ for details or PM me if you are interested.

hi m8
 

Hi Leigh & Sanderd

I’m not modifying the rack, it’s just come with bolts the right length that fit correctly on the rider pegs if you don’t have a centre stand, I do have an OTR stand; so, they’re a little bit short. I think Sanderd had the same problem, because he’s also got an OTR stand. We’ve got an engineering place round my way, just saves getting them sent from Germany.

Also, those two aluminium panels that came with the fitting kit, I assume there’re for strengthening the inside of the panniers where the mounting points go. Do you recon it’s OK if i use JB Weld for sticking the plates on the insides? Forgive me for asking stupid questions, I can’t figure out the German instructions.

Shaun

I used the bolts supplied and also had the OTR centre stand. No problem with them being too short. Maybe mine were different. If you have trouble working out the fitting PM me, mines been on and off numerous times on different bikes.

will do
 

I’m not sure yet, it’s still in the box. Will measure the bolts over the next couple days and PM you the size. will also get round to fitting the crash bars as well, they are still in the box. Not even looked at them yet :rolleyes2:

shaun

....i didn't got any instructions, not even german ;-)

yes, the aluminum plates are for strengthening. perhaps glueing them makes it even stronger. didn't do that myself.

were the pictures of any help?

cheers,
Sander

lots of help :)
 

Yes mate, absolutely wicked, thanks. I think I’m going to JB Weld the panels in place
