Kawasaki Triples Club

This is my first full restoration . It started with an RB import with a knackered gearbox







Ihad carbs ultra sonically cleaned.

The cases after cleaning





Just noticed in photo broke a fin in centre during transport. oh bugger found the bit in the box. The outside one was broke when I got it








The cases after polishing



The frame has been powdercoated. OOPS notice the big Hammer

Looking good.

Too late now Nogger we've all seen the Hammer.

Yep she's coming along nicely, but there less than fortnight now, you'll have to pull your finger out mate.

That's some wicked ally polishinng matey.........
I take it there's a little more than Solvol involved there?

Lot of H2A's being restored lately. There were two nice ones at Donnington and I know of one other in the mix.

Very pleased with mine too.

Look forward to seeing this latest effort when it is finished.

thats not a big hammer son

It's taken a while with working away from home and only getting back for 1 weekend 3. But I'm getting there slowly but surely. It's not concours but it's clean tidy!!!




Paintwork by Sir RB


sorry about dodgy video the wife took it when I wasn't looking

Oh before you ask YES I have a petrol cap just wanted to get it started ASAP, it started after a few kicks. got no gears tho so I could'nt tear it up the street hope it's just a linkage problem rather than full strip.

I do hope you will be refitting that natty backrest, very 1970s

wonder if johnakay made it

Ouch !!!!

I would of put the sissy bar back on but bloody Rick stole it before I chance to get it

Nogger, how did you do that with the cases?

I boxed all the cases up and sent them to steve smethurst to get vapour blasted and a very good job he does also.

Luke it looks like aquablasting ...water and fine glass beads, had my h1 crankcases done a while ago came out suberbly!! any oil just wipes off with NO marks afterwards!

Wow Nogger went to get a fresh glass of red and finish my reply and you replied!!! well it was your post!! I'm guessing aqua and vapour are the same non??

what did it cost?

Hi Malc, Remember me from the Blackpool rally the 'bikeless' geordie lad well this is it finally running, notice I say running not going as I can't get gears at the mo but should sort it when I get chance. I wasn't ready for the rallies this year but next year HAHA Can't wait.

Anyway to answer your question it was about £400 but that was all the cases and barrels blasted also all the polishing you see in the pics not cheap but I don't have time or facility to do anthing else .............. I KNOW I JUST PUT IT TOGETHER !!!!!

Is that cheating

No , Just sensible mate.
