Yamaha TTR600re
 

Hi All-
Can anyone recommend luggage for the TTR600re, (2004 model). Top box, panniers, anything really, just a bit new to luggage and need a few pointers. Am interested mainly in commute-style luggage initially as opposed to long-haul.
Much appreciated,
Thumpage

OK, I guess I should have put luggage in the thread title!
I am looking at the Hepco and Becker stuff now and also saw some suggestions on other threads, including Kedo and enduropack.

hi have a look at (offtheroad.de) they have some very nice stuff hope this helps steve

I am in the middle of rebuilding a TT600RE 04, for mine I had a custom rack built and powder coated.

There are options out there, UK seems very expensive but the German site does a rack for about 200 euros

Cheers

Metal mule do a set of racks for the TT600RE. Expensive again but top quality.

luggage.
 

Can't help much but if you want to just use throw overs, you'll need to make up a small alloy plate to keep the pannier on right side off the exhaust pipe. Ortlieb's rack pack strapped on across the bike with a rokstrap, or a pair of rack packs, one each side, are OK but not solid or supportive. Lindsay.

Thanks all! I will get on the case, Germany does seem to have more options.
Geordie, do you have a blog/site detailing your modification exploits?

Hi, I've just fit the Metal Mule rack to my TTR and first impressions are very good. It's very well built and very strong (but a bit awkward to fit). I think you could have something similar fabricated locally for much less than what Metal Mule charge, or like me, find something second hand.
I very nearly went for the offtheroad.de rack and would like to see one in the flesh.

fitting right?
 

hi steve from your pics it looks like the left side frame is a lot more forward than the right side ? the rear rack seems to fit in different points on the side frames is this right ? bike looks great though steve

Thanks Steve, I've just had the back half of the bike off for a rebuild and clean, so that's why it looks so tidy.
I think it's the camera angle. Though the exhaust side is further out from the centre line of the bike.

Hi

I am currently in the middle of a complete rebuild (fitting the airbox to the carb is really doing my head in !!!!!)

Will post pics when done, as for the frame, I had a local guy fabricate them so they fit my pelican cases

Cheers

Will, I look forward to seeing your homemade frame.

As for the airbox, I also had a headache getting it attached to the carb properly. The last guy who'd had the airbox off hadn't seated it correctly on the carb and as a result it was distorted out of shape. Hot water managed to soften it so I could reshape it.
I found the best method was to get one sleeve on the carb and tightened so it's secure, then do the second. Otherwise it kept popping off.

Steve

Thanks for that Steve

I was wondering if that was the case, I get one on and the other pops off ! going to warm them up

Cheers
