Kawasaki H2 description
I have owned this bike for over
twenty five years and am the third owner. I also knew the first two owners, as
they were local to me. When I first got the bike it had an ignition problem, so
I took the whole bike apart and stacked it in my cellar, thinking I would get
to it soon. Things happened and the bike sat for twenty some years, until last
year. I started by sending the crank
out to Porsche Dave in California and had it split, checked and new seals put
in it. The gauges went to Don Fulsang and he made them look like new again by
replacing the faces, cleaning and calibrating them. The body work went to LRC
in CT and the decals and frame stickers came from Rick Brett. The motor had had
new rings put in just before I got it so I honed the stock bore cylinders and
put them back together with new gaskets. I polished the side cases and glass
beaded the main cases. Carbs were ultrasonically cleaned and new jets were
installed. A replacement ignition stator was bought and installed. The exhaust
is a brand new Doremi system from Japan, the stock system was OK, but this
looks so much better. The frame was blasted, primed
and painted with an 85% gloss back. All the paint colors came from the paint
charts on the Triple website, the flat the gloss and the semi-gloss. New All Balls
head bearings and bronze swing arm bushings installed. All the chrome was cleaned and
polished. The rims still have some spots on them from pitting, and the spokes
are not as shinny as new. So, if I were to make this into a concourse
restoration, I would have the rims chromed and replace the spokes with
stainless. The blinkers are OK along with the handle bars, but to be perfect
they would be chromed also. New tires, bands and tubes. New
chain and sprockets. I dropped one tooth on the counter shaft sprocket to make
the bike a little easier to ride slow, the other sprocket comes with the bike.
The tool kit is missing some of the tools and a new bag and strap were bought.
The chain oilier is there with new lines, I never filled it they were always so
messy. The seat is original, I only repainted the pan. The bike runs good and I have
put about 60 miles on it since the rebuild. Please ask questions. I don’t want anybody to be misinformed about
anything on this bike, as I know what that feels like. A $200 nonrefundable
PayPal deposit will be required. The balance
to be sent by bank check or wire transfer, no PayPal for final. As you can see
this is a lower serial number bike, made on 12/71. There is no title for this
bike as New York does not issue them for vehicles this old, but it does have a
transferable registration in my name. Thanks and good riding. |

Japan Needs Your Help
Thu, 17 Mar 2011By now, we’ve all seen pictures and video of the devastation in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and the ensuing tsunamis. Japan, of course, has contributed much to motorcycling, with the Big Four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, as well as tire manufacturer Bridgestone, helmet companies Arai and Shoei and many other motorcycle industry stalwarts all coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. Jon Bekefy and Greg Hatton, two motorcycle enthusiasts, industry employees and above all, humanitarians, have set up a fundraising campaign benefiting the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.
Lady Moto Gymkhana: ‘You Ride Like A Girl’ – Video
Thu, 22 Mar 2012A time-tested putdown among boys and adult males is the “You throw like a girl” insult meant to highlight the targeted male’s inability to throw some object with the appropriate force needed to get the object moving and continuing along the correct trajectory. In other words, as the male of your species you should posses the innate ability to throw a ball, but instead you lob it overhand like a female that’s never thrown a pitch or a pass in her life. Of course, the action verb throw is replaceable with just about any action the insulter wishes.
