I'm having a special moment.

Do tell...

I am waiting to see your pictures. I love those bikes, my brother had a 120hp one. I hated the day he sold it!

I can't believe the prices, people get for them now days. I remember when our local Kaw shop had them in creats, and couldn't give them away. Now they would be rich!

If someone was to break the rules and start a thread on H-bombs, I might have 50 or 100 photos.

Note- You didn't hear it from me!

MY bud in Las Vegas just finished his 500 Triple... Same bike we had as young adults back in the lat 70's...

He had it sitting under a tarp for ~ 30 years and after seeing what I was doing... got motivated and went to wrenching on his.... :woohoo:

When you get the chance we DEMAND images.....

Here's my H2. Tomorrow it will be 31yrs ago I bought it for $1000. I think I've covered about 1500 miles on it in 31 yrs or 50 miles/yr. They are fun, but for a street bike I would rather have a KZ.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

And yes it does have the carbs,they're hanging there.Both side-covers are gone though...master cylinder is yuck...needs all cables and a few other bits...seat needs to be redone.
It will be down to the frame,and I will be taking pics along the way.
I have a lot of homework to do,as far as locating parts and what-not,going to see what Jeff has at Z1 first of all,but have been snooping E-Bay,and some triple sites,just to get a feel.

Sweet score bud!

Beautiful countryside to ride through and now a triple???
I hate you that much more now. :laugh:


If neither Jeff nor anyone else has told you yet, Rick Brett is going to be your new best buddy, and you'll likely end up spending most of your free time (and money) on his website. :whistle: :silly:
