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.

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!

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.

Can't go wrong with a Harris frame :). Personally, I prefer the original Harris swingarm over the Benelli item. Their welding and fabrication skills are second to noone but it's your bike and the whole point is getting it the way you want it(y).

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…

Great find , I know of another magnum 4 that had a gsxr w engine . It was sold recently the guy worked at harris and his was the only one made with Reynolds 531 tubing as he had kept it for his bike .

 

Lovley find . Be good to see you put your own stamp on this build
