Guest YoshiJohnny Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Our entry too is in... and been accepted Rob Bean, FatblokeonBandit (Garry) and myself along with varying degrees of "help" in and out of the pits We are trying to cover all bases as far as bikes but I am building a GS1000 based Superbike which will hopefully be the go to bike.. Failing that we have back ups.... slabbies and stuff... The lack of build progress has been down to other projects for other people ... Frame is away and engine bits are en route to Mr Upperton watch these spaces Quote Link to comment

MeanBean49 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Its a bit like a Top Gear challenge with bikes. Can we get a Suzuki together in time, with the little old Kawasaki there as the failure option. :-) Should be an ace laugh whatever were on 3 Quote Link to comment

The decisions been made now and we are in the classic superbike class.Means we can run 17" wheels and 4pot brakes and an oilboiler. 3 Quote Link to comment
Guest YoshiJohnny Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 which oil boiler Quote Link to comment

Rules say that crankcases have to be correct for the origional bike. Rob Scott was keen to keep the bikes as they actually existed and were raced in the day. Quote Link to comment

Rules seem to be more relaxed this year from what I can make out, particularly the Superbike class. Has to be a 703 1052 block thought, not the later 1127 blocks. Quote Link to comment
Mole28 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yup it's a 1052 block Quote Link to comment

The question is did Harris make make an F1 frame for an oil cooled motor in 86. And if they were ever raced in 86. Yes the frame and motor existed at the same time, but afaik they were never raced in that configuration. Going down the same road as the farce that is the classic TT Quote Link to comment

Going down the same road as the farce that is the classic TT Having re read the rules I see what you mean. They're allowing radial mastercylinder 17" wheels and stuff, so they're well on the road to Classic TT rules. I do know of a Harris F1 with an early TT F1 oil cooled motor from 85-86, it's a 750 though. Quote Link to comment

They know 750's existed and were raced, and technically someone could have built and 1100 version, but was there actually a class you could have raced one in, and did anyone actually race one.
