I know what you mean and no offence taken.
It's one those paint kjobs that some people love to see for that period look, but do I want to own/ride it??? mmmmmmmmmm
Still undecided, but maybe worth it for a laugh for a while.

Get some really good photo`s done, then change away to your personal taste.

Memories are made of these moments !

cantact BAZ SWAILES about a replacement shock for the harris. he knows which one works and they are not too expensive.

[Padders]

I sent the old shagged one from my Harris to Hagon and they made one for me. Not expensive and well worth the money. Told them what is was for and weight etc and it came back just right.

Thanks, guys I'll take your advice I was going to try Maxton for the shock,

[Jon]

I fittied a R1 shock onto my harris. Took a bit of bodging about but for £30 brand new off egay. Done thousands n thousands of miles on it n ran off edges of back tyre. Works well.

[Big Fluff]

That's gonna look great... nice one !
Keep us all posted with lots of pice.

Get rid off the Piranah ignition though.... before it leaves you stranded

[KWACKERZ1]

Thanks for all the comments,
As usual with all my stuff progress is slow as money and time are two things I dont have enough of.
However (following forum advice) I have sourced a white power shock from a laverda SF750. (£100) Ouch!! But its the right size length etc and bolts straight in. And as its not a rising rate type shock should be a good fit, although I might need the spring weight adjusting for a man of my stature. This was one of the reasons for going for a WP not the paiola (or however its spelt) which is also available for the laverda.

The Piranha will go in the box with the other two I have for zeds and I will source a dyna from Z-enterprises. £65 quid plus p&p as opposed to £120 from the uk.

I could also do with a loom for it and have noticed that the cam cover has a slit crack in it near the upper roller tunnel, which is very strange as I have never seen one of the covers crackred before.

The next job is to drop out the engine, Measure up the bolts and get some stainless jobbies made up.
More pics when I have something interesting to show.
