Harris F1 / JAL restorations

" ..Both bikes are Harris F1 made for the Kawasaki GPZ750 engine and raced in the World F1 TT championship in 1984 which was the 1st year of the 750cc bikes in this class. Riders were Jim Wells (7) and Asa Moyce (45) both were well known privateers. Asa finished 8th in the world championship (1xDNF) and Jim finished 13th but was unable to compete in all races due to injury. Asa and Jim had the same sponsorship deals and shared race expenses but they built their own bikes, so there were some subtle differences between the bikes.
These are both original bikes and importantly they are not modernised but restored "as they were raced", pictured together and both up running for the 1st time since 1985.
