Good video! Thanks for explaining the differences in the clutch. Another learn something new!!

[@PetesClassicCycle]

No problem! The standard clutch works perfectly fine but if you were looking for an upgrade this is a really easy conversion to do.

Fantastic video. Such a great, iconic bike to work on. The caliper upgrade was certainty interesting. I look forward to your next upload.

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Thanks! The caliper looks a little out of place on a 70's classic but it improves the bike SO much and can very easily be switched back i need be.

[@cramersclassics]

Another great video Pete!

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Nice dent in the fuel tank Pete, did someone's nuts slam into it😂

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Haha not with that old caliper. It was NOS tank. Removed off a bike at the dealer brand new because of the dent.

Had 74 H1 500 Wesco Barnett Denco Chamber's superbike bars best Dunlop's for 1982. Re jet Filter pods. Coming home from a late party..A dude on a stock 350 comes along side blips his throttle. Its on. From 2nd gear roll on. Little 350 almost beat me.

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Wild! The little 350's are deceivingly quick

[@yvanmailloux9401]

Great video! Was gold a factory colour for the 73 S2? I only remember seeing them in blue or orange. Thanks.

[@elemar5]

Yes.

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Keen eye, You are correct. At least here in Canada it was the smaller 250 that came in gold and the 350 was either the blue or orange. It may have varied in other markets.

[@ryanmuirhead23]

Hopefully that bike doesn’t have a smelting accident

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Machine gun jubblies!
