I seem to remember that some very early H2s had the "Kawasaki" reversed from the factory. Maybe this is a tribute to those bikes. ;)

Edit: Kinda like in the photo at the top of this page.

Your bike looks awesome and it's a custom after all! :thumbup:
I reckon the decals will be a talking point in a parking lot some day. 8-)

Thanks :D :thumbup:
If you would have seen me and my daughter looking at the pics on line and looking at decals :crazy:
I didn't even notice the freakin "I" was missing for quite some time :lol:
I still can look at both pics and not see it right off!
NO resto's for me! My attention span is limited!

And the stupidest part is if you go back in the thread I had them mocked up correctly!!

Ok, this story gets worse and worse! :lol: In a funny way!
So my daughter and my wife come home very late last night so I say to my daughter "when we were looking at the decals we got them backwards"……She says "I told you that" I said "no you didn't" she says "yes I did I told you the K was backwards" My thought was how can a K be backwards :problem:
She meant it was slanted the wrong way….good thing we communicate so well!!
Oh well, I like the colors also!

too many pages to go through, what is your jetting now?


260 main , Needle 6dh4, clip two down from top of needle, P-6 needle jet, 35 pilot jet. Air screw 1.5 turns.



I tore into the carbs today and they came with Q-0 176 series needle jets. When I ordered them I had talked to Nichecycle and told them I wanted P-6 Needle jets but I never specified the series so I guess I got what I got.
I need to order Needle jets and there is the different series, 176 or 159 they look different the 159 series has a shrouded needle the 176 does not.
What is the difference?
From what I can tell the majority of Guys here are using the P-6 159 series.
Any help would be appreciated!

260 mains, 6dh4 and Q0175??????

Haaaaahahahaha, that's almost unbelievable your bike is running at all.

Just wait until you got your 240 mains, and p5 159 combo..........you will notice the difference quite well :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Well, you better be looking forward, as you have not yet been running a well tuned H2. I really can't wait reading your next comment after the retune. :)
