Hey Merv, thats the last thing I need to do - is weight the bugger. I am going to go to a weighbridge at the local recycling centre and pay a couple of bucks or offer the guy a ride to weigh my Cobra.

Its something that I will be keen to know (and will share).

I pretty well echo everybody's comments. Its borderline between the Harrisson and CR.

One thing I misssed was not having my builder close by to go and and see and ask questions.

My problem was that I was (I think) the first of the new CR chassis so I had nobody in VIC who I could go and physically visit to see how some things were done. Most of the time I overcame this be pesteringIan on the phone. He oblidged without any problems. I sometimes even sent him photos to explain.

During my build I rang Ian every day for about 4 weeks at one stage. He answered the phone or rang me back everytime. This was most impressive.

Anyway I think you will be happy with either choice.

I even got my fake side pipes from Warwick - so does that mean I have a hybrid i.e.; Classic Harrison or Harrison Revival :-)
