Harris Magnum 2x2

[clivegto]

Mrs GTO got called into work for 3 hours today (Christmas day) so I sneaked out to the shed. I ordered a 20 ton press for Christmas which I put together the other nigh. Pressed the Triumph stem out to remove the bearing then removed the lock stops with Mr Grinder. Pressed the stem back in then pressed the new bearing on, fitted the bearing outers to the frame after leaving them in the freezer for a while which shrinks them making them a piece of pish to fit, but you all knew that right 

   Mery Christmas people's

Looks like standardish ignition will fit with the faring bracket

Looking at pictures of my mate Andys Harris last night which he had at Donington on the OSS stand I remembered Metmachex swinging arm  had been turned upside down to fit the frame then I remembered I had a Metmachex arm of middle weight yam fitment in me stash of stuff . So I'm going to make the one I have fit the mag frame as well. Will need a bit of chop chop but that's what we do hear on OSS right  now whereas my grinder

He is a member but there isn't a build thread on hear. He has a lot of very cool bikes and was big mates with Cannon.

A few measurements and a some squiggles with the sharpie and I recon the arm needs a new swinging arm pivot point where x marks the spot and a top shock mount making, easy peasy right . Metmachex arm will then be the same length as the standard Harris one on full extension it can't be any shorter because of the cross piece joining it together. Am happy with this as my turbo Harris is 2 1/2" over and handles great.

Took the casting line of the bottom yoke with a flap wheel then cleaned it up with some scotch brite and then a coat of wax. Ground the lettering of 8 m8 stainless bolts and polished them up to bolt the yokes together. Trumpet forks are in pretty good condition so have just cleaned them up for now.

Bondy calls this Yorkshire Gold (he's not wrong you know) there adapter brackets to fit modern discs to an old 18" Astralight front wheel which I'm fitting to the Trumpet forks. Just need a little bit of fine tuning to finish them of. Am well pleased with them, big thanks goes out to gsxrSam one's again.

Had this nice little Harris master cylinder sat on the shelf for a while it came with my first Harris.

Perfect Clive nice them cylinders

Removed the trumpet lettering from the calipers then polished some stainless steel bolts up for them. Fitted the front wheel bearings to the hubs and fitted the faring stay as this acts as the lock stops to stop the forks smashing into the frame.
