Harris in bits

[Neill666]

My Harris Gsxr ripped apart ready to get paint n polish trying to do most of the work myself but my powder coating oven just ain't big enough for my frame , took bodywork to a local painter for a quote and nearly fell off my fukkin feet when he quoted 725 quid for tank,seat and muddy in a single colour

Ah yes the natural state of most Harris's. in bits all ovr the garage, well mine is anyway

It's all in the prep with paintwork. If you take your time you can get very good results with rattle cans.

And if it comes out crap, you've not wasted much cash.

Tried painting before and got all the stuff,spray gun,compressor etc just lacking patience and a good eye but I'm gonna be more patient this time not even considering paint till I'm 100% happy with the prep

Will do the frame is away to the powder coaters again a couple of bits we're very light in powder so one step forward another back :-)

[Neill666]

[baldrick]

nice seat unit, it suits the frame wel, and she looks like she wont be off thwe road for lonj.

 

What colout are you doin the tank etc?

[Neill666]

Not fully decided on colour yet coz I'm a fickle fukker but either a dark metallic gun metal grey or if the quality is good possibly red chrome vinyl wrap

Looking at engine mounts ,looks like engine is hung direct off top rear, front mounts extended backward, then fixed lower left and bracket lower right in the two tapped bosses. When its hung like this have the headers on exhaust needed extensions or just standard fitment. also is the fixed lower bracket  standard or has that also been modded

Could you put a picture of front engine  mount extension  please ........Cheers
