Up for consideration is this pristine 1969 Kawasaki 500 H1. A painstakingly meticulously build, taking over 6 months, is finally done and ready to be released. As with all our builds, NOTHING was over looked.We strive for the best of the best.
Bike was acquired from Texas, as a roller. Customer stated the motor was "locked up". After disassembling the bike and opening up the engine, we found the kick start shaft had come apart. "E" clip was jammed in the spring. We also found the bore to be .050 over and the correct Bridgeport cylinders with the window carbs.
Frame was sent to be powder coated. ALL chrome parts sent to the chrome shop.Fenders, kicker, levers, ect. Meters sent to Don Fusling in Fl. for a total refurb. Crank sent to Charlie Smith to be checked. New brngs., seals, rods. Run out is .0001. New NOS Kawasaki first over pistons and rings Trans. has all new brngs and seals with shims. Oil lines rebuilt with new balls and springs. Carbs have all new Mikuni brass and floats Jetted to OEM specs. . All new cable's, brakes,and clutch. Wheels are original to the machine with new NOS Kawasaki spokes, wheel brngs, rim locs., tubes and period correct tires.
All fasteners where tagged and bagged for the re-plater. Every screw and bolt is in it's place. EVERY rubber grommet is new.
Frame assembled with the swing arm re-bushed. New steering head brngs. Forks tubes replaced as well as the seals and dust covers.
I'm sure I'm missing a few things, but you get the jist. When I go to a show, I win. Period. Conceited? The truth!
This is not an "entry" level bike. For those of you who are looking at this, you know what it takes to bring a machine to this level. This is a machine you will be proud to display. A machine you can get on and ride to the cruise in, with pride!
As with all my builds, this build is documented with receipts, photographs, and video. All of which are available for your viewing.
Bike starts with 2 kick cold, one hot. And , I've got to tell you, bike is smooth as a baby's ass, power on demand. I'm surprised, runs smoother than my '72 H2. I have to say, NO disappointment's here. I have sold bike's worldwide with no complaints. This will be another one.
I strongly urge real buyers to send a representative to come and inspect this machine. I'm readily available for inspections. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. If you want to see another picture, just ask. If I have it, I'll gladly send.
Thanks for looking. Now the tuff stuff; $500.00 PayPal deposit at auction end. Balance by bank transfer ONLY.. I can store the bike for a few weeks. After there will be a minimal charge. I will work with your shipper, after all, this is suppose to fun. New beginnings!!
On Aug-23-16 at 20:19:24 PDT, seller added the following information:I've been asked a few times about the build. This bike was built and is stored in a climate controlled room. The exhaust is new Doremi. Yes, the kick lever is wrong. Bike came to me with no lever. I am still looking for the correct lever. If found..it will go with the bike. Also the horn is an aftermarket unit. The OEM horn will be included.
