Most uncomfortable bike ever.

That bike looks like it would batter you if you looked at it the wrong way!

Cool as fuck, Love the minimalist look.

In the middle of trying quite hard to persuade a workmate to put his GSXR engined Harris Formula S (rare as!) back on the road, Been used in the last few years as a hill climber...I'll get there Smile

I'm looking into different front fairings for it at the moment, the one that's on there is just a temporary measure to get it on the road without the front subframe showing.

Any idea's anyone?

Saying that I actually prefer it to the 900 at the moment. Confused

That is one nice looking bike, on the road too, you sir are a lucky bastard!

The front fairings suit it.

Does it not need brake lights or is that something to do with what looks like a d-lock on the back? Thinking

All you need for a daytime MOT is a horn (my push button is a doorbell, taped to the front subframe) numberplate and a reflector.

You don't need a speedo for an MOT but you do by law, I bodged on a £7 halfords bicycle speedo.

The same certain reading of the regs to allow an MOT without lights will also allow the MOT without a reflector.

All the best

Yes officer, but the MOT man said it's fine for day-time use... Why would I have my lights on in the day?


Yes young man but make sure your at home tucked up in bed before it goes dark. Laughing Wink

But the MOT man needs no legal training for his job beyond the limited and specific MOT rules, so has no need to know whether or not by law you need lights.

All the best

I will get a screen, eventually, if I decide to stick with it. Just want a cheap one.

Think I prefer it looks wise over the old one.

The 916 fairing looks pump IMO.

How about a flat racing number plate, like naked racers have?

That would look tough.

Just a thought.

If you want a semi fairing, I thing the first one looks better - it is the lower part of the 916 fairing that doesn't work, breaks up the lines of the bike.
