The stem, with the long threaded part and threaded bit for the top bearing, looks like a great idea to copy for other yokes because it can obviously be adjusted to enable the yokes to fit a variety of different headstock lengths

i'm liking the whole set up-  the adjustable offset and the way its pinned both top and bottom  - thanks for posting the detail

That a lot of engineering just to hold a number plate!

True at that price it was a steal

Those yokes are fine Clive great addition, its coming along great.

 I think I have to buy one of those plate hangers just cos of the price its unreal how it can be made and shipped isn't it  !!

@mick-neit is indeed, that's exactly what I thought.

there is no fecking way you can 'charge that dog................

[Swirl]

Oh feck, just done a little love wee, loving what you are doing Clive

[clivegto]

Swirls Harris has a brother.

[Swirl]

Heck another one, at this rate Shed and buried will be coming round for a nose

[clivegto]

Been mesing about with engine position & where ever I fit it the kit I have does not look like it will bolt straight on. Looks like a bit more head scratching, turbo was designed  to fit a Kat.

Dont tilt that carb like that.

Unless you wheely all the time...

 Not all the time, it's just sat there in the pic.

[clivegto]

Still messing about with the engine position, this pic is with it in the middle down pipes fitted & turbo roughly positiond. Nowt fits but the swinging arm position don't look to bad to me.

for me - pic looks like the the engine is sitting high at the back - I generally aim for the sprocket c/l +/- 5 to 10mm below the line between rear sindle and swing arm pivot - when the arm is raked maybe 10 to 15 deg

reason ? - copying  - seems to be the ballpark and hence can only presume works ref: squat - also - imagine the suspension bottomed out - will the lower chain run clear the swing arm ?

Yea think your right, spent quite a few hours mesing about with engine & turbo kit position. Looking like most the turbo stuff is junk.

[bluedog59]

IIRC, one of my "heavyweight" chassis tech books says something about 16 deg but I can't remember if it was laden or unladen.

[clivegto]

More playing around with the engine position it now sits lower & more central.

[clivegto]

This is a pic of the turbo kit on its last owners bike that I plan to fit to the Harris.

[clivegto]

Well if I am going to fit this draw through turbo the engine has to go further forward than the last pic because the turbocharger hits the frame rail that mounts the shock.
