just had a good look at the pics that airbox you bought prob wont fit that frame i have one off my 97 bike that should fit let me know if you need one i changed quite a few things on mine so have quite a few bits and can prob find solutions for any thing that crops up:rolleyes2:
the only original bits on mine are the tank, seat, frame and some of the engine :blink:

thanks for all your help guys, iv got plenty of work to do now!

I'll bear that in mind wolfzero, ill let you know how I get on with the airbox when it arrives.

are you going full restoration or just a basic rebuild to ride
as it's stripped down already i'd get that frame powder coated.
i did mine in cadbury purple :thumbup1:

hi there the frame is not a 43f frame so it is odd you have it on a A reg . the gap in the rear right hand frame is filled in by the exhorst which acts as a structual brace so i think the electric start engine may match the frame . ive looked at the ebay picture and none of it seems to be 43f very odd ,but as seid you ve got all the papers so no worries good luck with the project .:thumbup1: zigzag

cheers guys,

that frame looks great. mine has already been re-sprayed so it looks ok.

I know it seems a bit of a weird way of dong it but im planning to rebuild it forst and get it roadworthy and then continue with the restoration as a rolling restoration. It owuld probably make more sense to to a full restoration now when its all in peices but as its my first project I dont think ill have the knowledge or the patients to be able to do it first time.

it seems strange that its not a 43f frame when the number starts with 43f, could this have been stamped on just to get the v5? Im not too bothered just as long as I can get the right parts I need.

Rob

it must have been re stamped, just remember that if you need parts you will need them for a 3tb :rolleyes2:
are you gonna keep it as a dirt bike or are you gonna supermoto it :thumbup1:

Hi Rob have sent you a private message
Thanks

everything seems to be pointing to it being a 3TB, plus its beige which according to this site Stammbaum XT600 3tb is a 1990.

If is has been re-stamped is it worth me getting it back on the road? will I have problems getting an MOT?

if the v5 and frame numbers match there should be no problem getting it through an mot the number plate doesn't mean a thing, think of it has having a private plate on it.

Appologies if I am intruding on anyones thread!

Can anyone help me? I am looking for an Airbox for my XT600 2KF 1987. I have been searching ebay for weeks, last week a chap from Norfolk way sold me what was to be an airbox, turned out to be a Micron tail pipe, I think he got his wires crossed somehow. I have ridden the XT without airbox, but when it rains, the water from the rear tyre tends to shoot in the carb and kill the plug.

Thanks for reading.

Ian.

I owned a 3TB
 

it is the only XT600 without a rev counter and it is oil in the frame. I have a 3TB tank if you need a spare, I can send a pickie of it, it is in good condition, and has been in my garage for 7-yrs.

I have this one for sale if its any good to you? Im not 100% that it will fit yours but im sure someone on here can help out:helpsmilie:

I bought it off ebay hoping it would fit my 3TB but it didnt!
