They don’t get any more “proper” than a H2

Worked on it Paul and found it a bit tinny with a tin can as an air box and whats with having to move footrest before you can start it proper bikes have a button

I actually paid a deposit on one from Bill Smith in Chester when they arrived in the UK. I had a test ride on his demo bike and it scared me shitless first with the strange gearshift then the shear power of the thing (it was 1972 ). I was a bit disappointed with the relative lack of power band after riding a mates H1 (which I actually prefer) ok the lifting the footrest was a bit of a pain but it’s all part of the character. I changed my mind eventually, we’ll the ex mrs changed it for me and I bought a car

ive three different Triples a Kettle H2a and a couple of 70s Tridents and luv them all for different reasons the Gt for when you want
a comfortable relaxed ride with nice grunt the H2 is obviously for when the Hooligans comin out of you and the Tridents for when im
having a nostalgic day
couple more piccies of z650 ive fitted Dyna S ignition and outer casings coils on and a few bits and pieces hopefully finish checkin
wiring harness this weekend and get it fitted, the brake calipers are of to Powerhouse Chesterfield for Dave to sort .

luv them all for different reasons

Yeh much the same with my bikes i love the mixture of sound with mine VTwin,Parallel Twin &Triple 2-Stroke

PS great looking Tridents you have there if you ever consider selling one

Cheers Dave

Bit of progress on Z650 clocks being stripped for clean up and brake calipers refurbed and on there way back on,
the mudguards turned out to be very solid and cleaned up well so i just sand blasted underneath and rust treated
then black smoothrite, wiring harness cleaned up well with only a couple of dodgy connections to remove where
i suspect the Yanks had put extra lights on front they love that sort of stuff bless, just waiting for my Zpower
delivery of Dyna Coils to finish that side of it , Tank etc should be done in next ten days the Painter i use tells
me so nearly there , being a sucker for punishment ive bought another z650 project and z900 one to so plenty
to play with for a while
