More Lockdown Polishing

Spent an hour or so Polishing the Harrier today. Even managed a blast up n down my drive just to check it was OK

 

988cc 850 big bore and stroked crank/, megacycle cams and Keihin CR carbs .

it goes well

 

Joe. Basically the Harrier was a commission from Norman Hyde to. Harris Performance to build a frame very similar to the One used on tbe Rob North triples.
The main difference is comfort i think as this feels a bit more comfy thsn a North.
This bike has the same steering geomoetry as a n R1 yam, the yokes are one off items made by harris.
Tbe forks are of an Aprillia and tbe discs are gsxr1000 with pfm calipers. It stops on a sixpence. The hubs front are resr are one offs.
All the carbon fibre was hand laid by harris and looks superb close up.
Unfortunately i cannot take credit for any of the work it was done by a man called Nigel Waring.
Oh and the engine was built by Neil Beadling who is regarded as the go to person for meriden triple engines. It runs a Newby multi plate clutch with belt drive and semi close ratio 5 speed box.
It has a Trispark ignition and uses Dyna coils.
Since my ownership i have fitted lights to it . Led spots on the front and more recently an electric start as it can be a bugger to start and if it kicks back you know about it. It caught me last yesr and i had a bruise on my calf for two weeks, funnily enough i never tried to start it without a bike boot on after that Lol.
I had it on the dyno last year as it seemed to be overfuelling. It was doing 25mpg. I bought a set of leaner needles and shimmed them to get the AFR where i wanted it and i now get about 37mpg and that is round tbe lakes which has lots of twisties .
It truly is a mix of the old and the new and sounds glorious with the 3 into 1
I spoke with Nigel and he said he stopped counting tbe cost when tbe budget exceeded 25K.

 

I did a clip of it running yesterday but not sure how to load it on here Joe.
