Hi Guys,

I have been lucky enough to acquire a very nice 1975 H2C in red in very original condition form a friend who has had it for 40+ years. Just like the one I bought new in 1975 as a 17 year old!

It did not have turn signals however and my parts book doesn't show a collar for the rear turn signals that has a ground wire on it. I made my own ground wire and know that the turn signal mounting looks very similar to my 1975 H1 where a grounded collar is available. I would like to have the right part. Anyone know the correct part number? Will the H1 part fit?

Also the bike has a frame number that is in the 475XX range, from what I can gather that means it is no more than a few hundred units from the last H2 ever made. Anybody know the last H2 frame number ever produced in 1975?

My '72 uses little metal straps that go around the rubber mount of the turn signal stalk. They connect the stalk to the frame and a ground wire isn't used.

74-75 is somewhat different than early 72-73.

Thank you! I figured there was a chance it was different.

These are fragile, thin die cast alum.

Easy on them when tightening.
