Still had the double headlights on, but thinking on putting on one of a KTM.
Have a small Over fairing lying around, so might going to try that one swell.
I'm a great fan of the little Martek style seat units, so swap the Harris one.
That'll go on the Harris Magnum 2 in the near future. Same as the Mag4 swingarm.
Hi @SpikeI do like that seat unit. I know you say its a Martek unit but where are they available from ?

I remember all those old Ford Capris, Cortinas, and Escorts in the late 70s/80s that were converted to 'harlequins' after one or more body panels had suffered terminal rust
And crash damage !! Well ...............mine anyway..........

Looks like you've got some reading to do. I bet the info is on here somewhere. Maybe in this post !

Give YamahaCarbCleaner a go before you strip down. If it solves your problem, great! If not, at least all your internals will be nice and clean. Go for the red label, if available. Yellow label is useless shoite!
Got any details on where this is available from ? Yamaha dealers ?

Now then Mr Wagola sir,would you be planning on putting a bike on the stand?
Hi Paul, looks like I've got the kick up the arse I need to get the Mag4 back together ! And start a build thread to keep me on my toes !!!
Just going to have to find out how to upload photo's on here. As apparently we all like photo's.............

Hoping to get along to this one.

Dropped some barrels and a cylinder head on for a look see at cylinder head to frame clearance, looks good to me
Certainly looks central to the top frame rails !

Took a few mm of the bottom crank case mount, the engine is just to say off centre to the left now but the lock-up clutch fits with a 10mm gap to the frame so should be able to get a case of some sort on as well
time for a beer 
And deserved !

I think I have a set of 36mm intake rubbers if you want to swap them for the 40mm flatslides ?

Seems like the OP has been frightened away anyway !!
Probably not used to the friendly banter so abundant on here -
I think he means finding your own solutions to engineering problems and not following the same or similar route to the accepted norm. Just finding your own path and not looking at what everyone else has done. And fair play to you !!

Iv got a teapot DOT head on my Bandit 1200 Harris build.
Hi @SiBagwhat Harris frame have you got ? Thinking of going DOT head on a rebuild GSXr1100 engine to go in a Mag 4 frame but a bit worried the angle of the DOT inlet and position of carbs will not fit. Did yours fit OK ? Do you have a build thread on here for your bike ? Had a look but couldn't find anything. cheers

Personally I'd go black with the engine to give it a bit more of a stealth look. With matching black frame. Starting to take shape now and looking good.

Having been caught on the hop a bit with the appearance of another project it's taken a minute or two to (mostly) settle on a plan. Until I actually get it in the workshop there will be stuff that will be more mights & maybes than certain.
So at the moment my thinking is this. The photo from the '90s shows it with the RG bodywork in black with orange stripes and lettering, and an orange frame similar to the Walter Wolf scheme. Looks pretty good in that so I think that's the way it'll go.
Engine wise I'd like to use a GS1000 done to 1085 with a flowed head etc. but that'll be an expensive route to go down. However, if it'll fit in the frame I have that Roger Upperton ET engine with an 1170 big bore, flowed head with EF valves fitted just waiting for a home. That way the only cost (still a chunk) for a serious normally aspirated period engine would be a set of flat slides. I even have a solid Harris works exhaust to complete the look.
That leaves the suspension, keep the existing wheels and have them coated at the same time as the frame and arm. Shocks are an easy bolt on, and see what's what with some RWU forks.
I'm trying to avoid it becoming a money pit as I have the Throwback build for that.
Looks like it has RG expansion end cans fitted on the exhaust as well !!
