Replica Harris Yamaha TZ350 GP Lowline Special Frame Kit
We have delivered a number of these frame kits over the last two years and the customers are very pleased with the product. We have also been asked to supply a list of other engines capable of being fitted into this particular frame. At this time we have determined that all the air-cooled Yamaha R5 and RD series engines, plus the air-cooled TD and TR racing engines will bolt directly into the chassis in addition to the TZ 250/350 up to F/G models. The RD 350 LC '81 and '82 engine, and the '83 to '89 US model RZ 350 (European RD 350 LC YPVS) engines, will also fit the frame with new engine mounts supplied. Following are photographic details of two CMR kit bikes, complete with a step by step assembly of one of them. CMR Replica Harris Yamaha TZ350 GP Lowline Special Frame Kit: page 1 - page 2 - PAGE 3

These pictures show the tank now resting in its place on the rubber frame mounts (supplied). It is held in place by two pull down straps(supplied). These straps are new original Yamaha parts.

Here are two more pictures showing the Yamaha pull down straps in place.
Now all we need is the engine and this will start looking like a racing bike.

These pictures show the engine and carbs installed and the cooling system hooked up. A new Vesco-style fiberglass front fender has also been fitted.


Here the stock Yamaha TZ350 seat has been fitted, and the footrest assemblies. The footrest plates are aluminum 6061-T6 and are available upon request when ordering a kit. We have found that TZ riders come in all shapes and sizes, and adjustable footrest positions are a welcome addition. This bike is fitted with Dave Swarbrick's latest expansion chambers for this model (www.swarbrick-racing.co.uk). They came as a kit and have been installed by CMR Racing for maximum clearance. Also shown fitted is the optional under-slung rear brake caliper and brackets.


These pictures show the brand new Vesco-style 3 piece fairing plus windshield finally installed. There's lots of clearance for levers and legs.

The decals have been installed and we can now roll the completed CMR Replica Harris Yamaha TZ350 GP Lowline Special out of the shop.

We were instructed by our customer to have the finished bike dyno tested to ensure it was set-up and ready to go to Daytona. Sandy Noce of Pro-6 Cycle in Toronto is our host. He is seen here with the bike during the tests. Visit Sandy and his team at www.pro6cycle.com they do an excellent job for many racers both vintage, classic and modern.
This picture shows the completed bike being delivered in February 2008. Yes, that is a genuine Canadian snowbank as a backdrop.

Here CMR Racing Products owner Denis Curtis on the right is delivering the completed bike to customer Mr. John Walters. It's cold in February in Ontario, Canada! The bike was due to leave for Daytona.
