I'd say it's a different one.
Here 'tis -
And here's what he's told me -
I am led to believe that I have one of 3 MK2's that were brought into
Australia. I have also been told that 2 were written off during racing
incidents, but have no way to confirm this.
In August 2001 Harris made a one off swing-arm for the bike, with all
the R7 SBK fittings and adjusters. This was at a cost of over $4,500AU.
This is sooo sexy that I cannot describe to you the quality of the
welding and manufacture.
I have e-mails from Harris confirming the construction of the swing arm,
schematic drawings etc, and even confirmation of the date of
manufacture.
I have all the original parts for the bike, as well as the original
fairings, but the original front end was sold off to pay for the updated
GSXR M 1100 model forks, brakes, etc...
The motor fitted is an '82 GSX1000, twin cam, tscc...
The bike was purchased by a good friend of mine approximately 14 years
ago, from the original owner, in original condition. It was then
stripped down, to be re-built and resprayed. The bike then stayed in
this condition for many years, until I purchased it, in pieces. Over
time the forks were changed and the suspension rebuilt. The rear shock
in the bike has not travelled one kilometre since rebuild, although the
forks came from a bike with 12,000k's.
Instrumentation is also from a GSXR 1100 M, with the 300kph speedo.
Originally the bike was supplied with a tacho, and idiot lights only,
(which I still have), but I'm led to believe that the motor has
travelled no more than 5,000 klms.
I have a complete gasket kit for the motor as it was my intention to do
a complete rebuild once I had the thing running.
The rear swing-arm was made to take the rear wheel, and brake fittings
from a 2002 Hyabusa, and these can be sourced for approximately $750.00.
I do not have these, although I do have GSXR rim and brake setup, but it
doesn't do the bike justice, as it was made to fit the Hyabusa gear,
down to the point that the brake calliper fits directly to the swing
arm, and doesn't require a 'torque arm', as the swing arm is so solid. I
have then polished it by hand to almost a mirror finish.
I have recently fitted the motor and swing-arm, complete with fresh
bearings, and have a complete new set of bearing for the headstock as
well.
I am also 100% convinced that it can only appreciate in value, and the
fact that it is modified will not restrict this as the modifications
were all done by Harris themselves. The original swing-arm and Brembo
brake calliper are included in the sale.
Don't have a go at me if any of the above info is not totally 100% word perfect accurate - I'm just cutting & pasting his words!
I've had another look at the info he sent & gh's asking around 12.5K for the lot....
If anyone's interested PM me & I'll give you his e-mail details.
Cheers!

There's also a Harris advertised in current issue of Motorcycle Trader.
Think they're asking $5,500.
