Carb's need some sorting (leaking a bit - jetting's out too) and rest of wiring sorted, but it's getting there.

Ralphy - you is correct old bean... gone past that dodgy area and decided I'll hang on to the Harris for the moment. It's great only having 4 x bikes to step around... so I can get stuck into me bikes "as and when".

Looking forward to the S.W Rally 2016 - that's my realistic aim for this project :twisted:

Can you let me know what cables you use, better still before you get them can I talk to you, I need cables for my Harris and it would be good if you could get a set made up for me when you do it!

WIRING :shock:

TBH, you probably don't wanna copy my efforts. :oops:


1] My Harris is already finished - I did it a couple of years back.
2] It defo is NOT the neatest arrangement :lol:
3] I got several different colours from VWP (Vehicle Wiring Products) and just did it.

Most of the modern wires take higher loads than the original stuff. I also solder all connections (spades, butts, bullets, etc).

There are some photo's way back in Projects Section somewhere.... I'll dig them out later today :wink:

:oops: T'was your daft accent that confused me :roll:


I'm using an R1 throttle assembly....... but the inner was a bit long on the push side. So I got a universal set off Venhill and cobbled a new Pusher. Came with various nipples (snigger). There was a little blob of solder one end and it had a small nipple that fits the throttle end.... so I just had to cut it to length (Dremel with disc ) then at the carb end I used a screw-tight nipple to fit :wink:

I never have much luch soldering - probably coz they're s/s cables!

Photo's later
