Harris Rearsets update

Post by Ernie Cooley »

Well they are finally on, apparently 2 days of fannying about!

They seemed to be missing a few springs and connectors and the gear linkage was way too long. a few new bits and a bit of modification and they look V good, along with the Black DB Screen and the Microns.

Will post a pic up when I collect it on Friday

Funny that mine had a few bits missing as well but did get them second hand so have to expect it really. Well worth it though. :D

When I got a set of new Harris rearsets they came with two gear selector linkage bars for use depending on where the pegs were fitted.
Out of interest, I ditched the electronic brake light switch in favour of a Goodridge pressure operated swich which works much better.

The switch is basically a replacement bolt (with two wires comming out) that you use to mount the hose onto the master cylinder with.
Very trick at about £20 if I remember.
