It's nice to see Cody's stuff being so well taken care of. I hope you're going to flip the fork sliders and put a single EX caliper on. I just switched from a stock type dual disk setup to a single disk, EX caliper, 1/2" master cylinder, and EBC 129HH pads, and it's a big improvement.

The plan is to get this bike together by Oct 1st and then consider upgrades!

Any insight on the headlight bucket, Jim?

I think it gets rubber grommets, but it's been way too long since I've had a stock one to remember for sure, sorry.

Got some parts in the mail today and now it all makes sense...

There is a rubber dampener that attaches to the bucket and then the collar goes on. I had 1 extra dampener but had to order another [$11.50]

Then it goes together like this....

First off, let me post a short rant: Eff you Pho-bukit! All of our pics that were hosted by them will now have to be replaced. I have now joined the Flickr ranks.

Update:

Small update due to work on my CB750 that had a blown up engine [rod through the case].

I now have all the parts for the H2 headlight bucket and it is mounted!
I know that sounds so minimal but was not simple to get it right. ^ rubber dampeners, really Kawasaki?!
Thanks to Danny.
I've opted to go with the short turn signal stems, and Z1.net offers up a high quality part...

Yes! Just bought it last month, it's a runner but it's on the lift to straighten out some bad wiring the PO did. I had one just like it when I was a kid, was my first "real" bike. Did you have one?

No! I was about to buy one in '68 when along came the Metal-flake Gold and Chrome T500 Suzuki....... "The rest is History!" :lol: Loved the T20, there was a bike which fought well above its weight!! :thumbup:
