Hey, new guy here.

I have been a long time lurker, first time poster. I have been a triple nut since the late 70's. I used to ride them and my buddy worked at Denco back in the day. I actually got to see the triple triple run at Baylands. I collected them back in the early 90's. I had quite a few. I got divorced and sold all the leftover bikes. I have not had a triple since.

I picked up a couple NS400Rs and I got bit by the two stroke bug again. I ended up with a couple Yamaha RZ 350s and then a couple RZV 500s, but they just weren't Kawi triples. So I'm going to keep my perfect RZ 350 and my RZV 500 hybrid that I'm building. I will post pics once I get it a little bit closer.

I ran into this bike when I was buying an H1 500 off of the guy. He doesn't really want to sell it because it's so unique but I think this thing can do an eight second quarter mile.

I am going to be starting my 500 build in a week or so and I will be posting some before pictures this week. Without any further ado, here is the baddest H2 you guys have ever seen.

P.S. Sorry for the picture quality. I only had my cellphone and I was mesmerized by this awesome H2. I think it was even raced at Daytona.

to each his own.
It looked like a waste of a perfectly good triple to me.
I am a Tracy body fan, but not that one.....

Good luck with your H1 build and welcome to the board.

That is just fantastic It would be criminal to put it back to stock (of which there are so many) and lose a piece of history. Clean it up but leave it as is. There are a couple of chops in RB's collection, which proves there is definitely space for these bikes in our world still. Bravo to him for having preserved it.

+1 leave it as it and just rebuild engine,brake and so on

Baddest possibly, defiantly an 8 sec quarter mile bike, everyone knows those Choppers are quick welcome to the site

Running 8.?? quarter miles is easy, I just spent years getting there so it would look hard, The only things I had to change or modify were the pistons, cyls, heads, crank, pipes, ignition, clutch, transmission, carbs, chassis, wheels and tires.

Hey these guys would love to see pics of Fremont drags if you have any
Bikes or cars. I remember going out there and even wed nights.
I could hear the top fuel cars on a summer day in Pleasanton 15 miles away.
Or some Denco stories. I remember going in after chambers and parts with a friend.
I wouldn't talk about some of the stories though
