16/11-11 Sidder i et forum i england, hvor jeg har fået bekræftet at dette er korrekt og endda af selveste firmaet HARRIS!

Cyklen er bygget i samarbejde med harris og en designer (husk nu tiden 1980.. :-)) som designede kåbe og sædedel. De 7 modeller er kun lavet til at bære gsx1100 motorer.

24/11-11 UPDATE!
"Magnum S as they are referred to , yes only a few built. The original was commissioned from Harris Performance by Alex Stuart a yacht designer on the south coast, who enjoyed fast touring and couldn`t get on with the magnum 2 frame style which splayed legs apart due to the frame tubes around the engine, hence the Harris solution, best described as a combination of magnum 2 and their F1 frame . The tubes run over the top of the engine although the design retains the distinctive magnum tubes around the side of the engine. the engine is mounted at the front with two large alloy plates joining the frame to front and bottom engine mounts. The frame also retains the cantilever single shock rear end. The usual marzocchi forks and Harris yokes and dymags were used with lockheed brakes and brembo discs. The electrics tray and footrest assemblys differ from Magnum 2 also, as do other details. The bodywork was designed and manufactured by Stuart himself to his personal touring preferences. He later manufactured and sold a range of fairings for other bikes of the same era from his wokshop on the south coast. The original bike was displayed on the Harris stand at Earls Court motorbike show. Subsequently he built others for people who shared his passion for a bespoke `sports tourer`. No moulds exist for the unique aerodynamic bodywork so hang on to it for posterity, whether you like it or not."
