Thanks for the fairing pictures it looks like the mag1 is less cut away than the mag2 this is what mine is like.
You can see its different again and has the cutouts for the indicators built in, so its probably and endurance fairing.

hi kwackers i looked at your photos an others that are around the net ,and have come to the conclusion that harris was very much like british leyland. anything available in the parts bin will do. the rear end on your bike is the same as the one that came with my mag 2 fairing ,harris tell me that it was their twin seat conversion. if you look at your seat and the old twin seat of mine ,even they have some differences. you have headlight surrounds and there aint any on the one i bought off rich... i am begining to wonder if there is any such thing as an original harris!!!!!!! :roll:

Ok maybe i should have been more carefull in my wording. there is no doubt that harris themselves have and still do make an excellent product, its just the add ons that they probably struggled to get.. hope this gets me outa the s*@t with the boys in herts :oops:

Kwakerz1 fairing reminds me of the early demonstrator one they they rode in Bike mag, styling very much on the Rickman CRE lines .

Looks great !...those classic H section Dymags...mmm proper wheels !
I am probably saying what most lads on here know... Harris did their own styling except the Mag 2...they got Jan Felstrom in from Target Design to style the bodywork for them....he also did the Katanas...
Can't wait to see it finished either...glad you are not going the USD fork and wide rear wheel route...it'll be proper Old School.
