Being a big fan of the current Oil cooled XR69s and team Force Harris F1 bikes, I'd long fancied building something myself. The final straw was following @Mole28down the pit lane at Donnington a couple of months back on his freshly built Magnum 2. A wanted add on here produced a couple of tempting offers of Harris Magnums, and a near miss on a facebook ad too. I even looked at the Saxon engineering replicas, but didn't like the quality of some of those bits. Then Gary @fatblokeonbanditdropped me a PM. A quick viewing, and a price was agreed, lot's off projects and surplus parts were sold off, and yesterday I took a trip to the cosmic centre of the universe to collect this. Photos or it never happened?!?! Quote

KATANAMANGLER Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 That is a thing of rare beauty. Did you tidy up for your new toy or is your workshop always that tidy? Quote

Mole28 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 The forks on the Donnington Harris are from a ZRX 1100. They are 43mm and the longest readily available RWU forks. Quote
Dezza Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Weren't most of those frames made for GPZ750 motors (F1 went to 750 in 1983)? I think the rear mounts for the GPZ 750 and GSXRs are the same. It is certainly feasible though that it was made around a GPZ600 motor, as then it would be eligible for F2 at the time (600 four stroke and 350 two stroke limit). Will be following this closely as it looks like a great project Quote

clivegto Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Nice project Dunc, looking forward to seeing its progress. Did you fit the side throttle cable control ? Edited July 10, 2018 by clivegto Quote

Dezza Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Why does your mate use the larger oil cooler on his bike as the head cooler, and the smaller cooler as the 'main' cooler? Or is there something there that we cannot see? I ask as I am going to use a small cooler in the seat as a head cooler (to appease my vanity as much as for any utilitarian purpose) on my bike. Quote
