FJD Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 This weekend i made a testrun after carb jetting adjustments, did not pull cleanly before. So, the Yoshimura isn't quiet at all, but all of a sudden it started screaming loud, so pulled over to find this: 7 Quote Link to comment

FJD Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 So, the story of me and this bike: I live in Austria, close to Vienna, and have always been a fan of motorcycles, especially of "Specials" Someday, this Harris with 750 GSX engine came up for sale in Vienna, completly disassembled, in boxes, but with full Austrian documents to get it on the road (this is very rare). I was the lucky one to buy it, and dragged it home, and after a while started to build it up again. 9 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Cool: that's a Magnum 1. When are you fitting an 1100 engine ? Quote Link to comment

FJD Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 No, not happening, Austrian vehicle authorities are not that easy to mess with, and my GSX 1100 will keep it's engine. I am more than happy to have a street legal bike, will not risk that. Quote Link to comment
