Greets From Cowtown

Welcome Rick.
Nice collection you've got going there.
Love to see that low mileage 650C2 you bought. It will bring back some memories of how mine use to look.

I've driven by car from Edmonton to Vancouver through Calgary and back to Edmonton before. Was a trip I'll never forget. Beautiful area for sure.

You guys talking about all that riding got nothing on us, we got the straightest roads anywhere!

Uh, wait...

Welcome, Rick and enjoy!

Well, for all those who asked for them.....here are 3 pics of the 650C2 WITHOUT the seat and a few other items.
It came to the second owner (who I bought it from) with a butt ugly Windkutter fairing and bag set. He stripped them off but hadn't got around to setting things back to right. I'm in the process of getting the bits together to do just that.
"Where's the seat??" you say.....
The original owner had the stock pan stripped of foam and cover and had a SERIOUSLY ugly king/queen getup installed on it. It's an offense to the eye to view such a thing and since this is a family board I won't subject anyone to pics of that hideous monstrosity.
I just missed a stock C2 seat on Ebay but after having seen one in the flesh, I've decided it's almost as ugly, IMO, as the king/queen that was on there when I got the bike.
Sooooo.....I'm getting a B seat for it and that should arrive sometime next week. The B seat is the kind of seat that I prefer because I can move around and not worry about any humps/lumps and stuff like that.
Here are the pics....

WOW! Sure looks nice.

The B and C models had the same flat seat. F models may have the same seat as well. The stepped seat you saw on ebay must have been recovered and sculpted, using the stock pan.

Here's a pic of mine many moons ago with the stock seat:

Let see them H2's. I Love h2's...

Thanks for the pic of your 650, Rob. That's the seat I'm getting but for some reason most of the pics I've seen of the supposedly "proper" C2 seat show a two-level seat with a "tuck & roll" type of pattern that extends from side to side completely. Well, your seat is the kind I'm getting and if some purists want to worry about it.....
toooooo bad. I'll post some more pics when it's all back together with the new boots one it.

OK, here you go....

Amazingly enough, when I started on putting the old girl back together, I figured out that the stock front end sucked big time, sooooo......I decided to use the front end from....wait for it.....a KZ650. Talk about some kind of cosmic irony.....or planets aligning or something. :laugh: Who knew that 15 years later I'd end up owning a KZ650 ??!!??
The Lesters came from a guy in Florida but the rest of the bike came in crates from the original owner whose brother "took it apart to restore it but lost interest." Who hasn't heard that story before !!??!!
So I came along and kindly took it off his hands.
Ever since then the darn things keep turning up as basket cases and keep drifitng into my garage. I'm afraid my place is going to collapse one day from all the H2 pieces stored every which place in the house.
SWMBO is not amused....but what the heck do most women know/care about bikes....right ???!!!

Very nice, Love the looks and sound of stock pipes.

Took a ride today on the H2. Always forget all up.
