Harris magnum 2 but modern

[Sheep]

I wasn't sure about the swingarm at first thinking the Ducati S4R tubular arm may suit better but once the seat unit was on it seemed to click.....The choice of motor is a winner too..oh and Absolute 80's on the tv is a nice touch too

sheep , i like the s4r swingarms too but i am all about the price those s4r arms and hub and disc come out at £500 plus and dont come up that often , so when i saw this swing arm cheap i jumped at it , it mightbe a boo boo  but i am just waiting on a part too see if I can save on expensive engineeering expense

i think it will work its all bolted on and checked the bars turn without trapping my sausage fingers

To be honest,i think you are going the right way....that Harris frame,to the untrained eye could be a frame designed and built this year just like others nowadays using trellis or tube style frames so that swingarm will be just fine...

I know what you mean about the price though,..just look at the price of conventional Ducati 999 'arms compared to single sided...night and day.

Sorry Busa,i have just read your heading stating the word modern....please excuse my ignorance lol

sheep i am just a fred in a shed trying parts if they fit great , if not re sell , its more time searching . 

its difficult for breakers to answer messages ,

and if you ask it could be 48hrs before a response

 if you ask if they can measure a part thats a whole diffrent story ,

when it works its A1 but we keep going and keep moving forward

Fixed the pictures Ash, it's Photobucket, when you copy the URL it somehow puts ~original behind the .jpg extension which causes the images not to display. Corrected it for you.

I do like that fairing ash.

If was me Id try and pull it as far back towards the headstock as I could. There is not a huge amount of lock to lock on the mag II so I don't think bar clearance would be an issue.

Just a thought.

si i will have too see once i have all the bits for this latest jigsaw,

you know how i am, need to see what its like when i can sit on it and have feet on the pegs etc

The seat is a cut-down Magnum one seat. Also, what clocks are you using?

ok now i can progress , engineer had a machine problem so its taken a while , not a problem

[busa ash]

next big problem was duke rear swingarm nut is 55mm 12 sided socket required how much !!!! then needed a 3/4 to 1/2 in converter for my breaker bar 

then it would not budge , 

windy gun it is then after fixing compresser

that got it after the 150 litre tank emptied 3 times wow way too tight 

[busa ash]

so the reason i needed the nut un done was too fit if it would , the mv agusta rear axle i had  

 

my gamble looks too have paid off thank fook 

[busa ash]

ordered a bargain new armstrong wavey disc , and a 4pot mv rear caliper 

[busa ash]

also have all new loom parts in the post rec reg fuse block etc , 

[busa ash]

also a fellow oss guy from fb has sorted out these koso clocks for me 

 

[busa ash]

the engine is ready for general re freshing 

[busa ash]

front wheel spacers are now done many thanks johnny b and thats it for updates so far , johnny b will be employed to make the loom too (smoke in wires not my boggle ). just need the last few parts too arrive
