Harris bevel

A customer sent me this the other day so i thought i would share it.
Work in progress....



Harris dusted off their old jigs and made this new build frame for the guy as a strictly one off. The engine is just a borrowed lump to check fit and clearances.
If my memory serves me right i think they made about a dozen back in the day.

This is a picture of a Harris framed Ducati that I saw in Germany last year. Unfortunately it's a bit obscured but the frame seems to be a bit different.

Yes this is an original up at "made in italy" the other week. I dont think its far off.






They seem to have simplified the swing arm pivot area and the rear subframe for a modern seat

This was mine under construction at the end of the bed in the early 90s not very Ducati but a 1105 wiseco Kwak. Genuine 900SS front end though first bike i ever built.

The "new" Harris frame seems to take cues from the 851 and 916 frames. I'm looking at the crossover section of the frame and the swing arm pivot bracing.

A guy called Rob from Sunderland had one years ago. He got knocked off it on the A19 coming back from Scarborough road races. I think he rebuilt it but haven't seen or heard of him or the bike for a long time.
