My restored and modified '94 600ss

This is my first road bike and will forever be my favourite.

I bought it not running from a farmer in 2017. How I brought it home

With some fresh fuel, oil, timing belts I gave it a tickle and it fired right up.
I then rode the wheels off it for 9 months or so

I then had a break from tech school which enabled me to take it apart. The frame paint was thin and it had surface rust, so it needed a freshen up

The frame was then blasted and powdercoated

I had the fairings repainted, the wheels powdercoated and re-assembled it for a little bit

Someone was then parting out a 1000ss, so I bought the forks (TiN coated, revalved, full adjustable), twin disc front brake setup (600ss was single disc) and Marchesini wheels.
I fitted them, then buffed the fairings to smooth them and put the stickers on.
I also fitted remote reservoir Brembo master cylinders for clutch and brake.

It came together very nicely.
I do have a Superlight replica tail section which I have to make the mounts for and paint.
I will also do some power mods soon. I am not on my full licence yet so in this country I am restricted on what cc I can ride.

Here it is at a pizza shop with my mrs' 998. The owner is bike mad and was so excited he named the new special after us. The "Salami V-Twin"

Hallo.
Nice little 600.
Did that 5 spoke rear wheel fit between your swingarm?
I always thought that swingarm of a 600 was narrower.

Henk!!!

The wheel itself is the same size, however the 1000ss sprocket carrier is larger. So I swapped the 600 carrier onto the new wheel and it fits perfectly

Nice effort, sweet lil' ride.

Thanks for the Okumura pic too, every time I see one of those stickers I think to myself "I gotta get me sum o' dat!"
