2 years and 2 months later we have a new rider:

Harv had to take it for a spin, you'll have to click on it.

Big thanks go to:

RB for flogging us the bag of shite in the first place

Very big thanks to John Edge for helping us with putting the frame to rights and all the other bits he helped/advised us with :smt023
Gary Horsman for his NOS parts from NZ/UK - top man
Repro Decals - can't fault their service
Glyn Fisher for the polishing
Bob Cooper - Stafford, for the chroming
Dave Higgs for his pipes
Wolfie who helped me with the lectrics

And any others that we have had parts/advice from - thank you.

That looks lovely Ali + Harv..I really like the colour as well..If it was mine i would blank off the reflectors on the headlamp ears and tail piece with small black grommets..or use orange indicators..That said a special is a special and its the interpretation of the builders idea and that looks brill. :smt023

Colour still not to my taste but I must admit it looks better than I expected.. almost Peacock H1 coloured...

Good to see that you finally got there.. and got your house back.

Love the colour.. Very nice bike you got there :smt023

sweet angel · Post by **sweet angel** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 8:59 pm

I have an empty space in my front room now, and it does seem very empty. I suppose I best put the table and chairs back... but I could put my KH250 B2 there tho

Gra (Wolfie) it's not grey it's green or blue dependent on the light.

wow that is stunning what a great colour :smt023

why put your living room back together just start another bike you know you want to

So how does it feel having a bike you built as opposed to one you bought already done?

NICE work guys.............will it be coming darn sarf next year???? :smt023

Gerald, obviously we are not experts just enthusiasts and thought we would buy a 72 H2 project to have a go at doing it ourselves. The H2B we bought already restored; albeit a few things had to be changed as you know. The 72 H2 well, it has been an experience, it was well worth doing, you learn by experience as they say - would we do it again? I still have my KH250 B2 that needs sorting and a B5, but I want my living room back

We'll see :smt023 and Harv keeps mumbling on about H2C - I won't repeat the words on here that I reply
