Hi Group, I am new to this group, my name is Martyn and I am in Kentucky, I race WERA and AMA with an Graves R6 and have been a regional and national champ, so back in the mid 70s I had a stunning blue H1 but my parents sold it when I received two tickets in a week, oh I am British so maybe that explains a bit of the history
Ok got this H1E this week, not been started for 22 years, some twerp painted it that horrid Green so here goes a few grand and a bunch of hours and I will tell you what, I am really looking forward to it...
So far, well I have done nothing in 2 days but today started stripping the paint off and taking it down to metal then going to put it back to original candy red on red
I have ordered $2k of parts and plan to rebuild the bike as time allows starting with the forks, a complete rebuild and upgrade to the brakes, I have a set of chrome expansion chambers on the way, you name it and I have it coming
so by this time next week all the parts will be here and the metalwork will hopefully be ready to paint, I am not scared of painting but have to do it at home in a confined space. So I will keep the thready going and updated as I can and will always be happy to take advise (like how do you polish the engine and fins up like I have seen?) and I cannot find the small round lens cap for the Neutral lamp, mine is missing, any ideas
so here it is, a tatty looking H1E soon to be restored
