Swirl Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 The end of the road has come for a non OSS build to go elsewhere, the frame is painted, I'm well happy with the finish, I'll still be about with my suzuki's 4 Quote
Pheasantplucker Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 That green is WILD. Could you help me with a question! When these motors get put in harris frames do they keep the antivibe engine mounts on the front or are they replaced with a solid mount? Thanks. Quote
Swirl Posted March 24, 2017 Author Posted March 24, 2017 I cant speak for anyone else but mine the engine was solid mounted with aluminum slugs in the front where the rubber mounts where, I have had some nylon bushes turned out as the Ali ones where siezed in the frame due to the previous owner leaving it outside under a sheet for umpteen years whilst trying to drink himself to death 1 Quote
busa ash Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Most harris magnum 2 are solid mounted ( the three I have had ) Quote

Pheasantplucker Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 My next project is a green one! A Z650 though. Some twat decided he liked the german streetfighter look! It'll be a café racer next, not enough left to go standard. Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 My mag 2, or should i say our mag 2 now Ash has it, i used the original Suzuki rubber mounts i the front of the engine and lined them up with the trough bolts in the frame side rails.worked a treat. 2 Quote
Swirl Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 Well things have changed and due to an operation next month, reluctantly I've had to move the Harris on to a new home, it couldn't have gone to a better home, cant wait to see @clivegto does with the old girl, Clive the floor is yours. 2 Quote

Nice to see you again mate good luck with the op. After a 2 1/2 hour road trip to get there it took 3 1/2 hours to get home but have a smile on my face. 3 Quote
clivegto Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Been doing the obligatory mock up when you first get a new project. I have some r1 wheels which are close to the frame colour. Think I might keep the frame colour. Just put some b12 forks in for now, pic of the first seat unit came with the frame & is heavier than the bludy tank. Second one is of my other slabby project. The r1 wheel is to big for the little gull arm. 5 Quote
clivegto Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Thinking of using this extended slabby arm that was in paulm's turbo et. Forgot to mention it will be getting a gsxr 1100 or b12 lump with a turbo as well. 2 Quote
Swirl Posted May 14, 2017 Author Posted May 14, 2017 go for it, turbo, its gone to the right home 2 Quote

Got a gsxr 750k4 complete rear seat unit all I have to do is make it fit the harris with out moding the frame . Plan is to lift the seat higher as I have read that magnum 2's are quite cramped. Not quite as high as in the pic. Ordered 4 tank rubbers from harris today they dont stock the 2 needed to hold the tank on as the use't to get them from the vacume cleaner shop from round the corner, couldn't help but laugh down the phone when they told me that. 3 Quote
clivegto Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) More fafing about, trimmed a bit of the seat unit but need the rubber tank mounts to line it up properly. Needs to be a bit lower I think ? Edited May 18, 2017 by clivegto 2 Quote
