Are the W mounts the same as for oil cooled engines?
The frame is the same.
Mounting points are a few mm off.
Wasn't that hard to make the 1127 lump fit

Thinking of powder coat the frame red and keep the rest in carbon...

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.

Needed the 750W front for an other bike.
So time to put the WP front in.
It has a carbon Dymag wheel ,8-pistons Spieglers and PT pumps.

Further more swapping the swingarm.
Standard one is gorgeous, but always loved the Benelli TnT ones in the frames.
Problem is, I hate excenters!
So cut them off and replaced them with some slots.
Still have to "clean" them up and make some nice adjusters.
But the carbon Dymag looks great!

So many projects, so little time...
Decided to swop the W-engine for a proper oil-lump.
So the bike went on the bench for a hart transplant.
It'll have a tuned engine with 1201 Wiseco's, ported head and some RS38's or FCR39's.

i would check the bottom shock mount where it is welded to the frame cross member.
because harris never designed these frames to take a shock mounting there,, well the cross member of the frame isnt up to it. it is just a thin guage steel tube, and mine was bending.
this would have led to catastrophic failure if i hadnt noticed it, and it had failed. it had been converted to a normal monoshock for a few years, but still.....id be checking and replacing.

@clivegtoit seems it’s better Made than I thought. Even bronze welded.

Not at the moment, sorry.
Looks crap anyway.
Not sure I'll keep the mount because I want to put the swingarm of the Mag4 in it.
And the Mag4 seat unit. -
Fueltank is done.
Mag4 look, but a bit lower, less deep and following the frame-lines.
Still have some prep-work to do before painting.
First building the bike now...

Glad you got your hands on it and not some trader. Are you going to open a shop now, you got a fair few cool bikes now don't you?
No, I do sometimes trade a bike or 2.
But these bikes are special. Not in it for the profit.
As long as I can afford it, I'll keep them and work on them.
Although having 27-ish bikes isn't helping...

If you think about flogging the forks can I have first dibs?
Not sure if it's interesting enough as I'm located in the Netherlands...

Last week a Harris Magnum 2 was offered on a Dutch marketplace.
Fortunately I was quick enough and was able to collect it last Saturday.
Bit of a project, but solid enough.
Has an 1127M engine in it, WP Roma forks and Öhlins shock.
Plan is to put an 1135EF engine in it, Mag 4 swingarm, some nice wheels and rework or change the tank.
Perhaps even the seat unit of the 4, as I believe this one is of a Harris F1?
We'll see, first have to find some more time...

Bought it a while back at Fighterama in Germany. I believe you can still find them on eB*y. Made copies of it, so have a few…
