It would be good to find a car areosol that matched the purple OE frame paint fairly closely. Anyone managed to find one please? I think I may have found a car aerosol to match the blue metallic frames but will let you know when I have tried it Brian

I have just converted my 1997 TTR250 to a "Supermoto" .... It was relatively straightforward and CHEAP, once I figured out which wheels to use!For the rear, I fitted a DT125X (17" x 3.5"), which more or less bolted straight on! All it required was a slight modification to the TTR...

The tank I used here was in very good shape and I probably could have used some of the smaller and cheaper D&D tank decals but, having started to use an Enjoy Mfg decal kit on the rear mudguard, I was kinda bound in to them for the tank. I hadn't prepared properly and there was still petrol in the tank so t...

Some of you may have realised by now, there is talk of a 350 kit becoming available. There has been some really hard work done by a fellow TTR nut, to see if it could work. Measurements have been taken, suppliers and manufactures have been approached and it would seem it is a feasible project. The seed fo...

If I didn't take it, it was off to the tip. Far too good to just throw it away, so I took it and got it out of the weather. Wasps had taken over as the top of this insect motel's food chain. I removed all of the plastics, what remained of the seat (I think it may have been sheep food), and the engine came out. Th...

I guess I should share my adventures in putting the new 350 kit on my bike.. I have two ttrs. A standard and a Raid. The raid is my daily driver. About 70,000 km in it now. I picked up the ttr for about 400 pounds. It was supposed to be my spairs bike. I wanted to make it me training bike. I'm not very good a...

Hi. Thought I'd show you some pics of my coronavirus tinkering. Since I can't ride the trails I thought it an excellent opportunity to stop the rust taking over the back of my TTR. Had it not been for lockdown I'd probably not have bothered as I prefer to be out riding on a day off than being off the road bec...

Well, I am considering swapping the rear suspension and swing arms on my Raid and my standard TTR. I understand that the aluminum swing arm has a longer bolt. Not sure just which bolt. Since I would be swapping them I don't see this as much of a problem. Besides being lighter, are there any other bene...

I bought a TTR a while ago that had been standing unused and unloved in salty sea air next to the Somerset coast for over 10 years. It certainly showed all the signs of neglect as you will see from the photos! All the plating has eroded leaving the fasteners rusty and, I am guessing, nicely seized into posi...

Hi all, just bought a Raid to replace my Suzuki DR Big. It will become my commuter bike which I use daily to commute to the office and to rush around to various sotes I work on around london.

Having read Punkawalla's thread, I decided to do the conversion. We live about 1/2 mile down a bridle path which is pretty rough, and I am a retained firefighter, so sometimes I have to travel down the lane a little more rapidly than is healthy for normal 4 wheeled vehicles. So thought a trail bike would...
