Are you looking for another bike
Now that your done
Maybe an h2 ?


Thank You Dave. The bike runs smooth as grease thru a Goose and I gotta believe that has something to do with your fine crank work. I would love to do an H2 but with prices the way they are nowadays for a donor bike, well, we'll see.


Not to mention the prices of parts. :o I went out and checked my H1B's and they both have chrome chainguards.

Apparently I'm wrong about the chain cover. My H1B was black and the parts book says black but like many other things on these bikes..... :roll:

MY H1B has the Chrome Chain Guard and If I remember right BikerDons from the Canadian site guard was black. The other H1B I'm doing for a friend plus the parts bike BOTH have Chrome guards.
