An H2 triples addiction is NOT a bad thing, no intervention is needed.

I had sort of settled on the Kawasaki chimera for a name, the chimera being a fabled mix of 3 fabled beasts, lion, ram and serpent, kind of ties in with the bike being made up of Ducati, Kawasaki and triumph, and being a triple...

Okay, I will dig out some of the pictures

I called the post overkill because I had that comment made about the frame bracing. I did consider calling it the black widow maker, but decide against that, bit too portentious.....

The Chimera (/kᵻˈmɪərə/ or /kaɪˈmɪərə/, also Chimaera (Chimæra); Greek: Χίμαιρα, Chímaira) was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. Usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head,[1] the Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.


Rubbadub

Fire Breathing Hybrid Creature..........Snake Head, some Goat, even some Hydra.......well I suppose that fits :!:

I call my bike the "Mongrel".......a B with a C tank and seat, C engine covers, 73 engine block, 72 oil pump system, all kinds of parts from all years........good parts............and for being a Mongrel, it's cool :!:

Thats the ticket.....Well the swing arm had everyone "cussing"
It was not easy to fit, with clearance issues at the back of the motor, guess the spindle was about 4mm too far forward.
It also would not clear the frame without major surgery.

Which brings me to chain clearance, we cut away half the frame, so major strengthening was needed.
