getting on for 7 grand not including buying bike, engine rebuild a grand. paint 500, powder coating 500 plating 2 grand,etc,etc, if these things are worth as much as rumoured i might break even having said that i didn't do it as a money making exercise i did it for the pleasure[and pain] and have always wanted to own an h2 it will be ridden[on nice days] and i have no intention of selling her, have owned my z900 for 35 years!!

if your ricks illigitimate love child ,your wife's dad owns a plating company,dave marsden[z power]is your uncle , and ellen from reproduction decals is your sister you might do it cheaper

A job well done.
I hope you are not using those w22fs-u plugs in your H2,
The `22` plug is way too hot.
You should be using denso plugs W27FS-U, W27FS-U-10
W27FS-GU OR W27FS-ZU

What do you mean by `10s`?
If you mean B10HS, no this plug is too cold.
If you mean B9HS-10,this plug is still a `9` heat range plug, the `10`is a preset plug gap of 1.0mm.

stunning bike there Chris, well done
i love the z900 too, in my favourite colour scheme for a zed. I know Z1's are worth more money, but the Z900 is the one i remember seeing a lot as a youth, and it is my fave Z.
hope to see you on them at the rallies this year.
cheers

bought my 1st triple on 18 08 91
le sport expansion chambers, 350 lc mono shock conversion
it was badly set up and I kept holing pistons
I had a love hate relationship with it
I still have it, it is not in a good state
I fitted powervale front and rear ends an rebuilt the engine, then the tax free law for bikes came in and my H1B let a big end go
so my rebuilt engine went into my B, were it has lived ever since
one day......

Doing the 'Highlight-midtone-shadow' levels usually makes a good job of 'lightening' while maintaining the contrast levels.
