After searching for 2 years I finally found a 72 H2 frame with a title at a decent price. Not sure what direction I going to
go with this one but it will be a hybrid/restomod . I don't want to go with a mono shock rear so I'm thinking about buying
one of those trick aluminum swing arm a local guy here make. I know Cody has one and said it's nice. Will go with spoke rims,
3.5 rear, maybe a 2.5 front from EXCELL. I have just about all the parts to build up a nice motor with rubber mounts and
a crank from Dave with the best bearings and new rods. Went with rubber seals because I like a motor that starts first kick.

Not sure what I want to use for a front suspension yet, maybe a RGV250 like Yogi's or a GSXR750, I have one on the shelf.
As for the color :?: I have done blue, than gold, now maybe red metallic. Will have to get Jim to make me up another
all in one box and a set of repo Denco's :thumbup:

This time of the year it can get pretty hot here so I decided to clean the garage and workshop. I've been collecting 72 H2 parts for another project.
I like my Gold 72 but want to build another one with a few upgrades to make it work better. Today was a good time to get everything in one spot and
see what I still need to locate. Will go with a Suzuki RGV250 front end but want to use spoke wheels.

I'm thinking about putting my Gold bike back to 100% stock after the next one is finished and sell it. I don't like riding stock bikes but
for resale, stock seems to sell better.

Searching for the remaining parts for my next 72. I need a speedo and tach that are in decent shape I can send to Don for rebuild. Also a rear
inner fender, oil pump, and clutch cover. Just got all the trans bearings from Larry last week so I can build up the motor. Also looking for all
the engine mounting bolts and brackets. Will be a few months before I have time to build it so just trying to get the few missing parts.
Delivered my gold bike to the new owner yesterday. He was smiling when he got back from a test ride.
