    XR600 SSSA Street Tracker

    Finally Im starting a new build.

    Bought a pos/parts only NSR150 a year ago,kept the front and rear ends,and threw the rest away.
    Finally found a cheap,still registered XR600 two weeks ago,and been tinkering since.

    Here's what i started off with:


    Strip down and fit SSSA.
    It was a piece of piss,just needed afew washers to make up the difference.





    Chopper anyone???


    The front end was simple enough.......press both stems out of the triple clamps,and weld in the XR600 one into the NSR150 clamps.





    I'll be offloading most of the XR600 parts,and heaps of other bike related stuff on eGay shortly,and im gonna use those $$$$s to fund most of the build.
    If there's anyone here interested in the parts taken off the XR,pm me!!

    Yeah I looked at the nsr150 into xr600 and ended up going zzr250 instead. Mostly as I didnt have the nsr front end, looks like a nice easy swap.

    It WAS a bloody easy swap over.
    Surprisingly,i did so many hours using Google Images,and haven't found anyone that's done it yet!!!
    The closest i've found is KLX650 with RGV250 banana swingarm.

    My ultimate build would be a CR500E with RVF400 USD Frond end,4.5in SSSA rear,but with the prices people are asking for the CRE's.....my best hope would be one thats been busted up bad,and still rego'd......so a pretty impossible find.....

    The NSR's front end is pretty basic......I'm keeping my eye's open for a complete NSR250 front end,but they're pretty rare nowadays...

    If memory serves me correct ben put a SSSA into a TT600 a while ago.
    Remember reading about it in a magazine and the biggest problem was the swingarm getting chewed up due to the slack that is run through a squirter chain. It used a nylon roller as a tensioner of sorts to still give the flex for the chain but not rip more chunks out of the slider and arm.

    I have found a couple of SSSA dirt bikes,one is in the galleries here,an XR600 with a triumph SSSA,but it looks big and heavy,and there's also that CR250 with a RVF400 arm,but they were still motards, i just haven't found a Street/Dirt Tracker Styled bike with a SSSA.
    The slack in the chain may be a problem if you're running long travel enduro suspension,as it needs the slack,im planning on running a road shock,so hopefully the chain wont need to much slack,and not chew out my swingarm.

    Here's my latest acquisitions....a Hypermotard Bar risers and Bar.


    Anyone know if the VHT engine paint is ok with air cooled engines??
    Does petrol stuff it up easy,or is it pretty tough once heated up,and cooked on??

    Got one of these in the mail.....39mm FCR Carb

    Engine out. This is after an 1.5hrs of scrubbing. I'll give it another go tomorrow,if i cant get it real clean,i wont bother painting it,otherwise it just wont stay,and probably look worse flaking away!!

    Frame ready for some chopping and paint!

    Let the rattle can painting begin!!

    The weather is awesome to go for a ride,but with the amount of coppers around,i think its safer for my licence to stay home and tinker in the garage.
    So.....i got abit done this long weekend. Hopefully parts im waiting on get to me this week,so i can make a start on the subframe/tank/exhaust side of things.

    Yeah,got a KTM Superduke shock coming in the mail.
    I figure the NSR150 arm doesn't run any linkages,it's KTM PDS style,and same with the SD Swingarm,so it should work well.
    I think the front end will be fairly soft,compared to the rear,so i'll have to see what i can do about that...when it comes to it.

    If i can manage to actually put together what i've envisaged, it should look cool.
    Pity i lack any real skills on the tools....but i'll give it a go.

    hey did you have any bits of the nsr left over?, i have two one in tupperware and one cafe/fighter trim im doing up. Also with the front forks the piston has two giant holes in it and does not really work it just allows the oil to squirt thru a wee bit slower, in mine i pulled it out welded the two holes and drilled 4 much smaller holes and now the forks actually work pretty good.

    by the way awesome build
