Alloy Harris F1 - 1988...

[flatline]

A massive thank-you to Spike Livingstone @ www.raggededgeracing.com for giving me a hand to move the Harris (GSX-R 1127) motor from the dining-room table & on to the 'Homebase' chassis-stand, I ain't getting any younger!!

Ahhhh good to see this build moving along.....looking forward to more progress pics

Bloody hell even your engine stand is clean  love the build 

[ReecoZoku]

Looks incredible, is going to make  one hell of a household ornament until it’s done 

 

edit: also which issue of street fighter is the cam timing article in?

The cam-timing articles (x2) appeared in the June & July 2007 issues

Watching ‘Formula 1’ on Netflix this afternoon, whilst getting the swing-arm & front-end back in... got the throttle cables hooked-up, so I can now can now (almost) sit on the ‘bike & make ‘Race-Fit’ noises!!

I can’t help it - a bit/seriously OCD sometimes... which can be a hinderance... it’s all in the detail..

Update: still making progress (?!)... now waiting on a couple of spacers to make sense of the rear mono-shock linkage, a couple of rear engine mount bolts, & a couple of pieces getting chromed....

should all be back this week ..

Hi, I'm  near Bristol,  this build is mega! Keep it coming.  

[Dezza]

I'd be interested in some of those chromed fasteners, the cam cover oil feed bolts and if you have any spare, the side-of-the-head plugs with threads in

If anyone wants any of these pieces then PM me... p.s. it works out that they cost me around five quid per bolt 

selling stuff only in the Marketplace section

Rear engine mounts back from being machined by;

Based in Filton, Bristol... Getting them making me a replacement rear wheel spindle too, as the original.... well, let’s just say it’s my OCD kicking-in again!!

The two spacers (top left) in the previous post has got the rear shock linkage sorted.... the bottom shock mount was ‘floating’ on the bolt... so a couple of 4.5mm spacers were needed to keep it in place...

Picked up the new rear-wheel spindle this afternoon - looking forward to having a ‘rolling-chassis’ again

[vizman]

Neat

Looks like nice machine work.
