Great looking bike :!:
The only thing "I" don't like are/is the clocks.
Beautiful colour and that engine looks menacing sat ther in the frame.
GORGEOUS :!:

Too many modern bits on it for my taste.

I really lurve Harris Zedz, but I like to see them with bitz that were about at the time eg not USD ferks :(

I do love the colour, and my prejudice against modern bike bits on classics doesn't stop it being a really hot looking bike :D

well I like it. :up

You've done a great job since I last saw it at the Ace last year

I've got drag/vincent straights on my bike - very comfortable. Also the std Z clocks.

Like its lots!

As someone else said the clocks do not look right, would change them ASAP.

Not sure about Super Bike bars, I have got them on my Harris (Fireblade front end) and they were too far forward, have moved the risers back, but still do not seem to work, guess drag bars may be too far forward as well. I also had trials bars on them when I had the other fairing, worked well on a trip to Sweden, but do not look right without the fairing.

Think if you want a sit up and beg Harris you have to try some different bars, currently waiting on a new set to arrive with more of a rise and bit of a sweep back.

Like the clutch cover with the filler cap in, could do with one of them myself, also what clutch slave cly are you using?

Nice bike. Tried clip ons on my Harris at first, but after bout 2 miles my wrists were in agony. Only got wee arms (T-Rex style) so was a fair stretch for me. Got drag bars on risers now. Far easier and better leverage and al round control. :wink:
