Well im a new member, i just purchased a 74 h2 in a basket case. so Im gonna need some
help putting her back together. I live in pigeon forge tn but i purchased the bike in key west
Florida. I only live about 20 mins from deals gap. i would like to have the bike finish for this
years event.I sand blasted frame and wheels and some other parts and had powder coated.
Got the tins painted i want to put some factory decals on dont know what color to go with.
I need a headlight with brackets and a seat and pan for starters. Motor was complete and fresh
But ive have been talking with charlie from triple cranks and im gonna send him the crank and have
him put new rods, bearing up grade and new seals. I would like to run flat slides????
I have pics to put up.............Thanks for all help with my dream.

Welcome to the board.
You will find that a good few of us will give you a hard time if you don't post pictures... LOL
You can upload smaller pics through the forum or use an outside account like photobucket for hosting.

Welcome! Don't be concerned with flat slides right away. Lots of us are running stock carbs or bigger VMs, and they run great. There's plenty of time for the little stuff.

The main board index has a sticky post that tells how to post pictures. Also, get familiar with http://www.kawtriple.com/mraxl

Keep us posted on your progress.....and you'll have to come to the meet regardless if you get the H2 running or not.
