I'd have one with or without the tank mod. I remember going to Mocheck back when I first started riding to look at a Harrier.
Someone on here must have one tucked away in a shed they don't want anymore.......
Come on Dave, you are the 400 build man. How about doing one?  You know you want to.

There must be one or two stashed away in a French barn Tim. I'll pay for your petrol if you can bring me one back during your next visit. If it's a yellow one I'll pay double 😉

Seat definately not Mocheck, highly hated 1980's addition, i remember buying mine in 1985-a domino 2-4 seat, exhaust could an old 1980's laser.

Looking at info on the Harrier and found this. Not loads on it specifically,  but interesting article. A few images of what the originals looked like.

One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

The exhaust on that bike is indeed a Yoshimura. I had a chrome one and assumed all the downpipes had been made to the same length, accounting for the odd routing. Quiet in town, gets loud at 6500rpm.

The seat is a Giuliari 2-4 seat. Had one of those too! Not at all uncomfortable and did 220 miles in a day once with my brother on the back.

Hi thanks for the reply ,I was told by the owner it was a yoshimura so great news it has been confirmed as well, just need to find a two four seat instead of the Giuliari seat , just for personal looks 🤔
