Have just bought an h2c which needs a total restoration, so spent all day stripping bits off it. Every thing needs doing and some parts missing.
Does anyone have a chainguard for sale?

Until something air-cooled arrives, I'll have to struggle out on the water-cooled.

Spent the warmer part of the day out on the drive... put the H2 back together, just needs the oil in the box and ready to go, within three hours the temp was plummeting again..
so went and carved up some pallets for the fire (Sorry Kenny!)
So tempted to put some road tax on her right now and get out tomorrow, but then.. losing 16 days of RFL doesn't appeal.

You need some roads first, then you'll find out.. 
Hope you get better weather than ours or the new one will also be water cooled..

Good one JP, beat most of us to it, but you are closer to the sun than us.. :smt023
I was asking about the H1 cos my mate used to have a H1d, MCN something or other, but it hasn't been seen since he sold it.

That is a great number for a Z1 :smt023 A coincidence or did someone manage to fix it that way?

bought it at kawasaki world in south shields in the 70's CN is a local reg and the 903 is just coincidence but very fitting since it's 903cc

love my triples but my zed and me go back a long way[if she could talk!!] she is my favourite girl

she's got 45000 showing on the clock i chucked it down the road many years ago and trashed the speedo i think she's done nearer to 80000 was my only form of transport back in the day and was used every day rain hail or shine stripped the motor about 15 years ago and repaced the cam chain everything else was fine and she still runs great, puffs a bit of smoke out if you dont use her for a while[valve stem oil seals]which i will replace one day. well engineered bullet proof motor
