Harris Mag 2

[Dangerous]

Thought I'd start a build thread as I'm going to pump a few £££'s into the old lassie and would love to enlist the help knowledge of you wonderful lot 

As before it's an '86 Q plated Mugnum 2 running a K7 Gsx1400 unit in her.

the general look I am aiming for is the old skool 80's Suzuki muscle.

ive been busy grafting a tl1000s front end on her with a gen1 busa wheel, on the look out for discs and a mudguard that will suit, also chasing a set of headlight brackets to house the gsx light but struggling to find a set I like, my rear sets and yokes are awesome looking she'd made slabs and was thinking a set of home cut slabish mounts would be the ticket.

Will upload pics with the tl front end when I get home.

....fit an et/efe lump in it

[Dangerous]

Would love a big block efe motor but I'm not made of money so have to make do with the motor she has. 

Need her on the road and teething problems ironed out for TT 2017 as she is to take me and the wife over. 

[Dangerous]

To give you an idea of my shed cut rear sets

[Dangerous]

The shed cut yokes 

thinking a sort of shed cut light bracket would keep it old skool looking 

anybody any ideas on a head light bracket that would tie in ?

i like the look of that , i would like a gsx1400 motor for one of my harris builds ,i like it 

[Dangerous]

Thanks ash

really can't wait to get her finished, budget is low but I don't mind the home made look so longs she's tidy round the edges if you know what I mean 

[busa ash]

its your bike your way , if you build on a budget and it gets you too the tt races 2017 its a sucsses. you can always upgrade parts as and when funds allow 

[Dangerous]

For sure she's the type of girl that will never be truly finished but she's mine 

[Neill666]

Looks familiar :-) 

[Neill666]

One I started a few years ago never finished as life n shit got in the way did have a FAT front end with k5 radial forks 

[Dangerous]

Been a while since you took that picture Neil.

did I meet you at the Perth bike night a couple years ago, I was running a TLS that belonged to you or your mucker at the time

The front end was used for a slabside fighter build before I bought it, can't complain really for the price I got it at, will be born with a TLS front end for the time being or until the budget says otherwise 

[Neill666]

Yeah bud you did :-) good memory I take it you got the bike from George in kirrie 

[Neill666]

The front end went onto yantosh's twin turbo slabby frame with the 240 rear when George got it didn't it ? 

[busa ash]

that seat unit really looks like it was made too be on there

@Dangerous 

 

Another way to emphasize the old skool muscle look is to do this :  Add a gsx750 / 100 ET headlight to your beastie.

Yeah it's on Yan's old frame but been reworked with a 190 front wheel and some other assorted blingy bits, turned out really nice.

Aye I begged George for a month to sell it to me once I realised he had it in his collection, was a hard slog prising it from him but he caved in and did me a good deal on it so really can't complain about doing a bit of hard graft to finish it.

Now I really like the Look of this, always been a fan of the round headlight with twin clocks but the ET light would bring it back a generation
