The frame was made for a gs750 . Rare as but i scored a gs1000 motor and carbs so as i am in two minds .

ok story started at xmas as i collected the harris magnum 2 from scotland , after buying it and it was period correct all the right bits , i decided to do that as a honest re fresh not a nut and bolt restoration .my plans have not changed and that build will get updated soon hopefully .

the gs 750 donor bike was purchased , buy the previous owner at the same time as the magnum 2 as it was a running bike . its been stood since 2010.

i should just say all the original harris parts are going to be boxed and saved as these are not easy too find

I didn't know there was a Harris owners club. Any details? The old club was disbanded over 20 years ago and became the Street Specials Owners Club

yes your correct dezza , i am a member (20 ayear bargain)but there is also a fb page that is very popular with harris owners all over uk and beyond https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=harris%20magnum%20owners

few parts gathered , will be some engineering required

I know where there's a breathed on (heavily I suspect, but no idea of the specs) GS1000 race engine. Needs a dash of lead in the fuel to stop it pinking, so something going on in there. Head has certainly been ported. It fell out of a successful club racing P&M,  surplus to requirements. Drop me a line if it sounds interesting.
