Designed to utilise a Triumph Bonneville (2000 onwards pre-EFI) as a donor vehicle, the basic Harrier kit contains replacement frame & swinging arm, fuel tank, seat unit, rearset footrests, rear mudguard and prop stand, plus other necessary fittings. So the only major items retained from the donor bike will be the headlight and instruments, front forks, wheels, engine and exhaust system.
The Base Kit retails for £3995 + VAT and a good used 2005 Bonneville can be bought from a dealer for under £4000, so for as little as £8500 it is possible to build an exclusive British café racer.
Riders intimidated by the prospect of building their own cafe racer will be pleased to learn that Windy Corner, the award-winning Triumph solus dealership in Leicestershire, offer a workshop service to build Harriers. Labour prices will vary depending on the owner’s requirements and the donor bike – call 01455 842922 to discuss in detail.
Customers may pick and mix a variety of exotic components to add to the Base Kit, including a handmade Harris stainless steel race exhaust, Öhlins suspension front and rear, Hyde fairing with Cibie lights, lightweight PVM wheels, Acumen digital instrumentation, AP Lockheed radial brakes and Keihin smooth bore carburettors and even Wiseco big bore piston kits.
