Curious if anyone has seen this full length belly pan and swing arm before? Saw this pic on Pinterest appears to be from Germany.
It's a Harris race bike chassis, I believe. They weren't too many made and if/when you find one they are a pretty penny.

Thanks, looks so good I had to ask!

Very nice! What year is that? I like the full lower fairing. I was just in Salt Lake too bad I didn't see this on the road.
86FJNJ,
Image comes from a YouTube video. He says it is a 1986, with the rare Lockhart lower fairing.
Not sure you could still find that lower fairing now.
I believe the custom fairing caused the engine to overheat, but I have no experience with that.
You could probably let in more air, if necessary.
Sure looks good to me.

I like the full length belly pan on the harris bike, I could do without the full side panels and yes I could see how the side panels retain heat, likely ok for fall/spring riding but def not summer. Maybe after I get my bike running I do a winter project and fabricate one myself out of fiberglass and bondo.
Makes checking oil level or adding oil a bit more difficult, and yea, added heat.
Unlike today's modern bike engines, the engines in our FJ's are beautiful.
