xt600e flat tracker .

[henri]

Attachment Deletederes a rare sight ,a smiling welshman , my mate looking happy at the finished bike ,a xt600e with all plastics taken off ,new tank ,shortened viper aftermarket pipe ,an new headlamp an digital speedo n rev counter ,
looking a lot "cleaner" an bare than original ,tho i dont like the exhaust wrap it was a "punters choice" an when it burns his exhaust valve out i will get the work to re-build .
an he's smiling coz he's creeping to get me to put his new nobbly tyres on "coz he likes the look" , numpty .a beliver that function comes second to form ,opposite to me, but then the bike was bought an modified to fit round the tank ,bought unmeasured from a picture if you can believe that,an then he wont let me paint it as he "likes" it in primer . double numpty ,mates eh,what can you do with em,cept hit em occasionally , Henri

Needs to drop/shorten forks and get a 19 in in the front.


I like the cafe race look also,



Or a mixture of the two looks with this triumph

he likes the "flatracker" look an at 6 3" the "sit up n beg" seating position suits him , thats a serious cafe that honda ,looks nice ,an the early cb engines look almost brit like , in my bitsa i put a later 80's cb350 ,big square ugly thing ,but really cheap an as originally its design was for a generater or pump low-tune .plenty of potential to unleash ,so far a free-flow filter n exhaust an a little staightening of exhaust ports has raised me 7-8bhp,
what frame is it round that t120 engine ,a one-off or heavily modded triumph loop , i like old-skool cafe racers an have built a couple ,but with wrists that sound like breaking twigs an a trick back from a rd400 cafe-crash cant do the riding position anymore ,it hurts enuff to take the fun out of it , H
