1972 Kawasaki H2 on 2040-motos

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.
