One family ownership from new Until I bought it.
A very rare Harley Metisse by Pat French
Over 20 years in the making of this unique machine
It comes with a current V5C
Built by Pat French and Mark Jannink of MRD Metisse in Bristol, ‘T41 TEU’ was registered as a Metisse with a year-related registration number in 1999. Based around the MRD nickel-plated chrome moly oil-bearing frame and swingarm, this example has benefited from the very best components in the build. The 1198cc Sportster Evo engine was converted to chain drive with mild tuning for reliability. Spondon engineering provided the 54mm White Power Roma fork legs along with the adjustable yokes. Spondon also provided the 4 pot front brake callipers and brackets and the 320mm brake discs. The wheels are Dymag Classic H Section with cush drive. There’s a WP 5140 Steering damper, carbon fibre tail unit and side panels, engine sprocket cover and chain guide, alloy Pearson petrol tank, Ohlins adjustable rear shock absorbers, headlamps from a Triumph T509, an upholstered leather hide seat, a custom-built exhaust system (very quiet) and an Elliot tachometer and RGV 250 speedometer paired-up perfectly in their custom housing. Paintwork was done by Andy at Ultimate Bike Paint. Owned in the same family since new, the bike handles very well with quick but stable handling.
