The chassis was as- sisted in design by renowned chassis builders Harris per- formance, creating a steel double-downtube cradle frame that of- fers the rider superior balance and handling through the corners, as well as durabil-
ity. Steering is easy and light but there’s enough stability to keep things in check, making it easy to change lines mid-cor- ner, although the the bike holds it’s line like a dream without much input from the rider, mainly due to the nar- row 18-inch tires. The Pirelli Phantom Sport- Comps are relatively old, but the overall grip is excellent alike under acceleration, braking, and corner- ing. It’s fitted with Ga- briel 41mm conven- tional forks and twin reservoir-equipped shocks, while the single 320mm disc
up front and 240mm disc on the rear are locked in with calipers from Brembo’s Indian subsidiary, BreBre. Wheels and tires are vintage spec with a spoked 2.50 x 18-inch
