Kawasaki Triples Club

Just a quick introduction.

Oddly enough I also know Phil H2C, and very odd that we were both looking for a H2C at the same time without each other knowing.

I have been looking at, and for a H2C for quite a few years, I have seen some that I have kicked myself for not buying (Malc's H2C for one) and have seen others that were, to put it nicely best left alone.

Anyway, a month or so ago I dropped on a 75 reg H2C, turned out to be a genuine UK bike, Kawasaki confirmed that the frame/engine left the factory as a 'whole machine' it has also only had 3 owners, at least 3 registered owners, so I bought it.

It has provided some quite pleasant surprises, and a few unpleasant one's I might add, but, most of the 'UK' parts are still with the bike, but it is missing a few parts and Malc has provided both help and advice, thanks Malc

Wheels are correct, and yes, that is its original front tyre made in 1974

I thought I knew quite a bit about these, but, I am finding out it's a steep learning curve! hopefully the bike will be somewhere near ready by the spring

Welcome. Hours of fun.
I also have a very nice H2C for sale.

common as muck now these h2c

Welcome to the club. Hours of fun coming your way at some point.

This will be a very nice bike, look forward to its progression

Finally done it then Malc.

Enjoy fella.

Welcome and it appears that I`m not far away from you and when you have it finished and fancy having a little KH try and keep up with you, give me a shout or if you require any help with it.

Someone once told me this about retiring...........

''It's like jumping off a high diving board, lots of trepidation looking over the edge, then it's a long way down, but once you get in the water it's actually quite warm and nice''

Thanks for the offer, i'm actually OK with most stuff, it's more help and guidance I feel I will need, the motor was rebuilt with recon crank with new rods, rebore, Wiseco pistons, full set of new bearings etc

I have it in bits at the moment as the finish to the engine wasnt correct, I have had the cylinders/heads refinished and am waiting an inner stator case from the USA before taking the rest for finishing as my inner case isnt up to the quality I hope to achieve, crank cases have studs removed for replating as I dont like rusty studs showing through new nuts etc

I hope you have deep pockets. Welcome.
