  • FRESHLY Restored 1975 Kawasaki H2 750
    Restoration includes: complete engine rebuild (Crank, rods, pistons, seals), powder coated frame, paint, tires, Lakeland Ignition, bolt on chrome parts (shocks, signals etc). Besides the original seat, and exhaust nearly everything was restored or replaced.
    Bike starts and runs great! Approximately 110 miles put on since the restoration was complete. Bike was registered and plated this year.
    Before all you OEM Freaks chime in, I am aware there are a few things not original to '75.. I won't sit here and pretend that it's a 100% concourse bike.
    Although I will say that it is still a high quality build and is ready to rock and roll.
    RIDE SAFE!!

    Poor restoration, scraped pipes, torn seat cover, purple looks wrong shade, rusty wheels, video done with rain drops all over to cover other imperfections. Depends on what you call restored i suppose.

    hi pete if its been restored why are there rusty parts on it and the front caliper unpainted?? seems a bit silly not doing the small stuff,

    • @PetesClassicCycle
      @PetesClassicCycle  2 роки тому +1

      I understand, If I did this bike myself I would have done it differently. But as mentioned the owner who built it purposely changed a few cosmetic details for his own personal taste and as for the rust I can't say other than maybe it wasn't in his budget at the time or was still on a list of things to do.

      It's better than most of those that were made back then because most of them no longer exist, or if they do, they don't run. You could take this and make it almost perfect with a little work. If the price isn't too high then it would be a great buy.

    Get the seat recovered and find an airbox! If that engine isn’t jetted for the pod filters you’ll get to rebuild it again real soon. And stop getting it wet! Awesome machine, have owned many.

    Sir I hate to tell you this, but did you notice all that SMOKE? What does the Canadian air quality control have to say about that? And the engine sounds like its about to come apart. I think you better have a mechanic from the U.S. or better yet, JAPAN take a long hard look at this sickle.

      Thanks for noticing all of the things that make these monster 2 strokes so awesome! We've got some good mechanics up here when they're not busy building metric scaled igloos to keep warm from our 13month long winters or drinking our FAR superior beer. :)

      ,cold two strokes rattle.... the bike is cold, metal hasnt expanded to opintumum tollerence, if there was no smoke after start up , probably has no oil. and ps climate control is a scam to get your bucks. Rev it up dude and f... em.

    • @johnedwards1685
      @johnedwards1685 4 роки тому +1

      I have one of these. I have owned the triples on and off since 1978. The smoke is a welcome sign that the engine is being oiled. The oiling system is total loss, what goes in and lubricates comes out of the exhaust. Think chainsaw.
      The engine is air cooled and has no sound dampening whatsoever. What you hear is every metallic nuance of rings, piston slap, combustion, small-end clearance, big-end clearances and sonic shocks as the ports are swept. Normal. This machine is 1975 frozen in time. The design is 1969. It is design history in the raw, red in tooth and claw.
