The HHRacing Harris
First outing at Wakefield Feb 6th.....
Some issues to sort....namely chronic clutch slip and a flat spot bigger than Glynn.
But it held together, nothing broke, nothing fell off and it felt pretty stable, albeit at a pretty slow speed.
The exhaust needed some cut and shut work....Peter MacMillan did the biz
So after MANY hours and $'s (dont ask!!) the Harris breathed it's first breath and shouted at the neighbours on 2nd January 2011!!! Jeez it sounded good....and I was SO nervous sitting with it on the rollers!!!! :-)
Not before a false start the day before.....turned out the wrong ignition had been supplied and fitted, and the magnets were not lined up with the trigers!!! A bodged Dyna S rotor fixed that temporarily....
First outing...WAKEFIELD FEB 6th!!

Fresh from the powdercoaters.....and forks and front wheel sorted
Freshly BBQ'd cases....... Here they are ready to be abused!!
