On MrAxl's site Info on MrA's site is HERE1972/1973 H1-C
FRAME AND ENGINE NUMBERS NOT CONFIRMED. POSSIBLY FRAME NO: KAF-49000-
This was a strange period in the life of the H1. Officially there was no H1-C but it would seem that Kawasaki were having one of their 'parts bin clearouts' and a reported one thousand models appeared with bits of everything on them. There was an H1-B with a front drum brake, another with a white paintjob, just like the 1972 S1-250, some with a disk brake and some with a drum brake. There were also reports of a red H1-B and even an H1-A with a disk brake. Has anybody got any hard facts on this rare model?

KAE-43902-45902

KAF-48664-52100

Can I have a Blue Peter Badge now - or should I have known all that from my head ?There does exist a parts list titles "500 1 C" part # 99997-527 dated Oct. 1, 1971 that covers it. The H1 parts microfiche has a section for the H1-C that covers the following frame and engine numbers:
Frame: KAF48664-49664
Engine: KAE043902-045902
From this it could be assumed that 1,000 H1-C's were built. Later frame numbers thru 52100 and in reality there were approx 1000 units built starting with frame #48664 but ending with #52100 with H1B and H1C numbers co-mingled.
