So let's have a look under the seat.....

The rubber box is a Nev. Lush retard ignition box, it is literally a tray with a big lump of blue epoxy, so I am looking at ways to mount it free from the Vibes, it sits on top of the battery box and can't go anywhere. Bracket mounted schrader valve for the air shocks, and plenty of room for whatever air cleaner set up i decide on. We'll have a look at the front end, next

I like the way the centre con-rod is aligned with the middle of the front tyre....everything must be straight!! :crazy:

Any advantage to a big roller bearing vs. stock ball bearing? Carry more load, flex less, less power loss :?:

They will carry more load smoother bit bucket. I had the crank built by Neville Lush in South Australia, he knows Triples inside out, so if he recommends running a roller bearing behind the primary drive, that is what we are going to do! :)

I have always had Kawasaki Sports bikes, had some great bikes, so it's interesting (to me anyway!) that the H2 is the one that I keep putting at No.1. I Had a red H1 in '70, and that was good, but it has always been about the H2. This Pic. is a couple of years ago, just reorganizing the shed!!

I don't know why people block out the number plates, but it "looks" like I know what I am doing! :lol:

I see you had your railroad track wheels on the H2 at the time.
