Hi allHarris have confirmed my frames beams and headstock conform to nrs spec i need a new swining arm and mounting arangements, however i need the seat first as as ash pointed out its integral to the frameRegards Wayne

Looking at the race bike petrol tanks it became obvious there is no one style, the tanks apear to have been made for the indvidual rider, this will make repoduction of the race tank a personal preferance. For me nations nrs tank is very similar to an f1 sportNrs Dunlop http://i222.photobucket.com/al...

Hi Grayhamon looking at nrs seats in the museum the rear part is just a modifyed rcw cut and attached to the carbon fiber part, could your man make me somthing similar using your mould, the vents are done with modling clay on the mold and can be removed afterwarda returning the mould back to standar...

If you are going the road route I have a nrs nose cut for twin headlight ,I would do a deal for a race nose, reputedly same as the...

Hi All A some of you are aware i am rebuilding a nrs engine originally to put into my black f1 sport, as Harris cant or wont make the nrs frame, however this turned up on ebay and with ash's help i decided it was worth a go along with a pair of pvm wheels and wp roma forks. the frame appears to be f...

Hi allI have purchased a Harris beam frame which the main beams are almost identical and the same dimensions, the swinging arm area is wrong and would need to be changed. I still need the break stuffMaxton have no issue with me modifying the frame to nrs spec they even contacted B Symonds to so see ...

Hi RogerI was not the original owner, he lost at least £5500 i bought it from Jefferies in 92 with 6oo miles on the clock for £7250, John Williams grated me with welcome to the development team when i met him in late 92. For me the f1 has about doubled its money and i have had the joy of riding it. ...

Hi All Suprised norton did not talk to goodva, i have a 40's 350gmp climax engine fire pump with ejector exhaust most fire engines used them, centrifugal pumps cant self prime and the ejector needs to lift a head of water up 4”x 6ft suction hoses . I have read they tried a rotary but with no success...

forgot to sayby the way my blue f1 sport i bought last year was originally was also for sale on line at 25000 euros, if any one thought a Yorkshire man paid that, go look out of the window you will see a dozen pigs fling past, honest. Regards Wayne

Hi allI asked nick jefferys, in his capacity as auchoner and insurance valuer what my f1 was worth in december 2010 12k to 15k £, maximum, beware, just because its advertsed at x dose not mean they are worth that or sell for that. any one insured with footman james on there agreed policy read the sm...

Hi allHarris frame- this was made from pressed sections as malc suggests the recessed panels are for strength, the casting method can be used to make patterns for the formers. The pressed panel sections and underside welds of Ashes frame indicate to me the aluminium is not that thick. I can understa...

Hi AshThanks for the offer, i will over the next year try to find a fabricator who can undertake such work, i already know some one who can make moulds used in dressing aluminium sheet. Once frames are avalable again i bet a hislop replica or two will appear Regards Wayne

Hi Richard and AndyGreat minds think alike? jut been talking to Tony Haywood about all Nrs Harris frames are now accounted for, and as the frame is a fabrication one could be made, however a sample frame or drawings would be required, fibre glass castings could be taken of an original frame to make ...
