Can I Turn My TT 600 Into A Cafe Racer ?

Yes,
I fancy a cafe racer !
I currently have a mint 2001 TT 600 and love the way it handles and think ! can this be converted at a resonable cost ?
For me to buy another bike that didn't handle like the TT would be poor but I could invest in my TT and convert her into a PEACH !

Any ideas ?

The frame and tank are the wrong shape to turn the TT into a cafe racer but triumph did an alright job in making a mini street-fighter with the speed four although if you have enough time , money, and know how then almost any thing is possible.
As you say your bike is mint it would be a shame to mess with it too much. You can pick up speed fours or accident damaged TTs fairly cheaply which might be a better option for you

Good point, I might just sell her and buy what I'm loking for.It's all about the feel for me and the TT feels great in the country roads up here in Scotland. I would find It's hard to get a cafe that feels like her in the bends

I think some of the coolest (but rarest) cafe racer conversions are the sportster ones. I think you would be hard pressed to convert a sportbike into a cafe on a budget though
