With over 30 years experience in the design, development and manufacture of racing motorcycle chassis and components, Harris Performance Products are at the forefront of producing top quality, leading edge products for the motorcycle enthusiast and International Race Team. We are great supporters of the adage 'Racing Improves the Breed'.

Our policy has always been one of constant development and improvement of our road and racing components, along with many after market accessories that have been developed for standard road-going motorcycles. In addition to our own product range, Harris Performance are sole official UK importers for Ohlins Suspension products and Marchesini wheels, we are official distributors for OZ Wheels and AP Racing Brakes, a national motorcycle distributor for 3 Bond Technical Adhesives and suppliers of Dymag Wheels and Fuchs Silkolene Lubricants. These products, like those designed and manufactured by Harris, are all Race Proven!

Our Hertford based workshops have the facilities and undoubted expertise for working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, machining and welding, plus the design, development and manufacture of fiberglass and carbonfibre products. In addition, Steve and Lester Harris, who are responsible for the design and technical aspects of the business, act as consultants and manufacturers for many other companies within the motorcycle industry.

On the racetrack, Harris machines have enjoyed success in all classes of road racing including Grand Prix, World Superbike, World Championship Endurance, Isle of Man and top Irish road races. Teams ranging from the top works equips to the smallest club set-up have come to Harris for winning machinery for more than two decades. In 1991, Harris were paid the ultimate compliment of being one of only two companies world-wide to be licensed by Yamaha Japan to buy factory race engines for installation in Harris designed and built chassis for the blue ribbon 500cc Grand Prix World Championship class.

The efforts by Harris Grand Prix to compete with the big boys in the 500cc class with what in 1995 was the biggest individual team with 5 x 500GP riders, not only attracted the praise and enthusiasm of the motorcycle media and enthusiasts, but also attracted the attention of Suzuki. In 1995, Harris was invited to create, organise and manage the official Suzuki factory World Superbike Team and to race the latest Suzuki flagship, the GSX-R750 WT. In addition to managing this totally autonomous project, Harris was contracted by Suzuki to distribute the GSX-R750 factory type race kit components worldwide for Suzuki Superbike customers. The development of the GSX-R750 completed during the season's 96/97/98 through the partnership between Suzuki Motor Corporation and Harris has established the GSX-R as a formidable race winner at all levels of the sport. Through 1999 and 2000, Harris retained their association with world championship; the hands-on aspect of racing was maintained through an involvement with Kawasaki Motors UK Superbike Team in 1999 and in 2000, the formation,

running and management of the Harris Honda Britain Superbike team, developing the Honda VTR SP1. Both of these teams included a scholarship aspect to help young Superbike stars of the future, a policy Harris are anxious to continue. In 2001 Harris declined various offers to race with their own team at both national and international level. Mid 2001, the company was invited by Sauber Petronas Engineering AG to join them as their chassis partner in developing a 4-stroke Grand Prix racer using the SPE developed engine. The first phase culminated in a complete new racing machine being presented at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix in October 2001, the project continues!!!

For 2002, Harris is an official sponsor to the 2002 BSB Virgin Mobile Aiwa Race Team. In addition, we provide full Ohlin's technical support to the BSB team Rizla Suzuki.
