Yamaha TT600RE - Overland parts wanted. Tank, racks etc

Hi all.

I got my TTR600 delivered today. Runs well. A little tappety but I'll sort that out soon enough.

I'm now on the hunt for some overland goodies.

I definitely need a large tank, a rear rack, etc.


Anyone got anything lying around ?

Cheers, Ted

Can you stick some pictures up ted, I gave away about four months ago a plastic tank and a set new tank panels as well, didn't think I would need them, sat on the shelf for ages, it's always the same, them tanks are not cheap ted, the racks I've seen them go on Italian eBay quite cheap, I'll keep an eye out, post a list of what you need m8.

I need:

Acerbis tank
Rear rack
Side racks
Spares like throttle and clutch cables etc

Its going to be as low cost a build as possible.

I plan to either find someone to ride it home from Mongolia for me or sell it there.

I can source one for about £250 new.

I was hoping to get a second hand one but as it's such a rare bike, they're like gold dust.
