Went & picked up an '04 TTR last week that I had found on Cragslist here in Vermont. The sale was being handled by the owners in-laws as the bike had to be left behind due to space limitation when the owner moved south. Buying it was a bit of a protracted process as the bike had been stored for about 2 year...

Am thinking about making some side racks to bolt onto my existing top rack. Anyone got any photos to post that will give me some ideas? Noticed there are some photos in the 'Soft Panniers' thread, but if anyone has any other mods I could look at, I would be grateful. I was thinking of forming/shaping t...

Quick reply needed- there is a raid tank ending shortly on Ebay. Question is will the Raid tank (& I suspect I'll have to find a Raid seat to fit with it) fit on an 02 blue TTR? 1st time I used my new TTR was on a long weekend in the Pyrennes. Another of the blokes wrote it up, hopefully the link will work; ht...

as you can see from my posts, im looking for more range from the TTR so i can do some long off road tours around my area. it is common for there to be more than 150km between petrol stations on these trips due to them only being open during the day or not existing at all on the way. can someone who has, or has had a...

Anyone using throw over panniers or other luggage? Something neat and tidy. I'd like to see pics of how people are setting their bikes up for touring if possible to get some ideas. I like the wolfman stuff but there may be something better out there.

This is such a simple thing compared to the monumental restorations that have been posted, but I am just tickled at the result. When I first bought my bike a few months ago, it had a (very loud) Big Gun exhuast system and a Mikuni TM-33-8012 racing carburetor installed on it. Great pick up, but it took fo...

Does anyone know of a guard that fits or can be adapted to fit the original headlight on a 2004? Can be either metal or perspex. If not, I am toying with the idea of making one. Do you think its worth it, or just better to go with an aftermarket light and cowling like Brian has for sale? Paul.

Hi guys, I've been looking for just the right rack for the rear of the TTR. Unfortunately, the only ones I could find were either too big (like to carry a deer) or I just didn't like the looks of them. The billet ones are a bit too flashy and don't appeal to me at all. I do GPS mapping of farms as part of my busine...
