busa ash Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 i am currently having a bit of surgery on rear shock mount too . but a word of warning the harris frames are designed to have shock orientation as a cantilever , the frames are braced for this i have heard of people fitting diffrent swing arms and not having the bracing in right place . a chap fitted a ducati sssa as a rising rate and buckled his frame he had used the seat rails and put a tube between then a shock mount he went for a spirited ride hit a bad bit of road and it didnt end well Quote
busa ash Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 i nearly fitted a k8 swingarm , my idea was too have a shock mount welded to the top of the swingarm infront of where the hole is for the shock to come thru . that then keeps the shock in the correct orientation Quote
Dangerous Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 sourced a K4 swinger this morning to see if I could make it work that way Also bought a set of anodised black tlr forks whilst I was in a buying mood earlier 1 Quote

Dangerous Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Apologies Guys im still alive and been steady away at it Blubber haha Trying to buy a house so that keeps strangling the finances so it's not getting huge amounts of cash injections recently but it's defiantly not being forgotten about Fitted a set of anodised black TLR forks Brembo brake and clutch master cylinders Renthal Drag bars Repositioned the clocks to tie the ET headlight in better Busa wheel and wavey discs Fitted a TLR mudguard but I'm gonna have to rework it as it looks far 90's Edited January 9, 2017 by Dangerous 4 Quote
busa ash Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 looking good , these tools are invaluble, power file by black and decker 13mm wide cheap as chips http://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/Black-and-Decker-KA900E-240v-Powerfile-Belt-Sander-350W-/391512000371?hash=item5b27ef0773:g:~5EAAOSw2xRYR~Nk Quote
busa ash Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 as a plan b i fitted a k series k7 iirc on a busa i modded with a radial front end 1 Quote
Dangerous Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 I was thinking of going for a K series muddy as they look like there's a lot less plastic on them and the lines would tie in a bit better with the tank and seat unit, that R one is just to round and 90's looking 1 Quote

Dangerous Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 Woke up the other morning to seeing this pic of my Harris and it's given me the boot up the arse to get back on with it again. Recently I've grafted the K4 swinger onto it and modified a B12 shock with srad750 linkages and it seems to be tying the rear all together so that's her rolling. The airbox is the next headache namely due to the fact I can't get any sort of filter onto the throttle bodies, been doing a lot of research into carbing the 14 unit but as I'm not good with wires and ecu it's a no goer, decided the best and easiest way forward is to fit a blower, I've designed my plenum and waiting to convert it from cardboard into metal, I have thought a bit about twin turbos and would love to go down that road but not sure I have enough knowledge to be going that route without blowing shit up 3 Quote
Dangerous Posted December 27, 2021 Author Posted December 27, 2021 Holy project revival, been next to no progress on this build for the last 4 years I’ve still not acquired the tig welding skills or had the chance to sit down with a boost head and plan the routing of the pipe work have a plenum made up for it albeit it may need a little tweaking but with the space I had, I managed to make it so it has 2 litres internal capacity, hopefully that’s enough to keep the cylinders breathing on boost 2 Quote

This is the plenum I’ve made so far, still a bit fettling to do for the inlet pipework but it’s there or thereabouts I’ve had to come in through the right hand side due to the throttle bodies on the left leaving next to no room 2 Quote
