The Worlds Most Useless H2?
Have a look at this. The last photo shows just how pointless it all is. Using 100bhp... with a riding position like this?? !!
Only in America and good for a laugh. Exactly what is a “Digger Bike” , looks like a chopper to me.

Re: The Worlds Most Useless H2?
Hmmm each to their own.
Wikipedia
The Digger became another popular style. Similar to the Frisco choppers, Diggers were frequently even longer than earlier bikes, but still low. The coffin and prism shaped tanks on these bikes were frequently mated with very long front ends (12" over stock and more), with the archaic girder fork often being used to accomplish this instead of the more common springer or telescopic types. Body work was also moulded to flow seamlessly, using copious amounts of bondo. New paint colors and patterns included paisleys, day-glo and fluorescent, along with continuing use of metal-flakes and pearls.

Nice looking bike, in its own way but I'd always imagined that low down torque is part of the laid back attraction, so I can't see that a 100bhp triple engine is much of an 'easy ride'!
Waste of an engine, IMO.

It's a great life if you don't weaken. Die strong! Or at least take pride in how you look while unconscious!

.. but not often..
He wanted it to handle, spent a shed load of time "And not a moment of that was wasted." That's Sarcasm right??
Looks like every second of it was wasted to me, the only good point.. it's Black...

Re: The Worlds Most Useless H2?
They look like 'LE' chambers. Lawson Engineering in Bishops Storford (I think), had some on my 72 H2 and the vibes cracked two of the hangers by the time I got home (25miles), basically made out of bean cans 
One wheel's enough...

Re: The Worlds Most Useless H2?
These ones are J&R power pipes, I am pretty sure.
I had a set of LE Sports "back in the day" as they were about all you could get for an H2 in UK and they were not as kicked up as these.
