TT2 project in the basement

Dear folks,

I'm riding 900SS from 1981 for 13 years now and it came to my mind that it may be time for someting more modern. Therfore, since almost one year I'm involved in a TT2 project, which started as a Pantah 600 SL rebuild. because I never could go along with the Pantah design (Sorry, if this hurts someone) I decided to transform it into a TT2.

I start with some pictures of slight modifications done in the motor:

some holes were applied to gears and gear changing drum (not worth the work because of the very modest gain in weight)

a new ignition (Ignitech from the Czech Republic) with a light weight ignition rotor and pick ups from a Honda Africa Twin.

more to come

cheers

Wolf

Hi Wolf,
Best wishes with your TT project. Your bevel is beautiful. What tires are on it? Warning - you may miss those spacious accommodations when you first ride your TT.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for the compliment and the good whishes!

tires on the 900SS are bridgestone BT 45, I like them.

you are right, everything on the TT is very tight, especially the seat - although I have a lean hip :-)

Cheers

Same tires on mine, I like them too. Your TT will more than make up for lack of space in many enjoyable ways.

Hi folks,

here are some pictures of my wiring loom and electronic components.

The goal was to build a street legal electric setup, which sits completly in front of the tank. This means: short wires, no battery in the rear

What you see (more or less): from left to right: ignition coil (PVL), two fuses (AMP), starter solenoid (modern Ducati)), two relais (Motogadget), ignition (Ignitech), battery (LiFePo4 4,6Ah), rectifier (Yamaha), flasher relais (Motogadget) and the second ignition coil....

regards

I really like it! I am wondering about the routing of the front cylinder throttle cable though. Can it sneak across the top of the pile?

Hi Bill,

throttle cables and clutch cable are working fine, it was also my concern and it was tested sucessfully

Hi folks

I've put some paint to my TT parts: Frame parts are powder coated, the body parts were can sprayed, done it myself for the very first time. Can't wait to expose it to cruel and honest sun light :-)

...the headlight mounting is a stainless steel TIG-welded construction...

regards

Looks very good. I've done a few can spray jobs before, they hold up best if you clear over the top and leave them in the sun to harden. It'll look authentic as well.

Thanks!

I've applied a two component clear top layer, which is not affected by UV-Light nor gasoline. Hope it works :-)

Regards
