Harris Magnum I

#1 PostAuthor: Pigford » Wed Mar 26, 2014 6:40 pm

My Harris project is on the "Kings Heritage" section - but its reached a milestone.... after nearly 2 ½ years the Harris is alive & kicking!

Here’s some of my usual sh*te quality video recorded on me camera phone......

Image



...... this does NOT mean it’ll be on the road in the next few days or weeks.....

..... the carbs are leaking a bit and so is the clutch cover, but other than that she sounds good – not that you can tell from the video. I also need to get a proper battery, one that’ll fit discretely away on the bike, out of sight. Then it’ll be time for an MOT, tax and some “settling-inâ€￾ mileage.

Getting a bit close to the ACE, but you never know. :??
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Looks lovely, did I see her at Mistral engineering a couple of years back? What type regular are you using? Hopefully, we can have a chat at the Ace, be good to share some info.

Cheers,
