Early XT600
 

Hi to all. I have just bought an early XT600 in black and red. It is an imported bike, (to the uk), and I do not know its' exact year of manufacture. Its' VIN number is 43F-008***. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I am also after an Acerbis or similar long range tank and some sort of luggage system for the bike. I have a dream.

Many thanks.

I think its a 1986
 

Hi there

I have a Black/Red 1986 UK model with gold wheels and front/rear brake discs.

The engine is stamped 43F****.

Mine has a 2KF head (stamped on it at the side) but I have the wrong barrel (3KF).

If your model is the same, could you tell me the model number on your barrel (not the engine number) as I need to get the right one for mine.

Thanks
