that 70 hulk only has a Bridgeport in the center cylinder, and I have been working on that grab rail for years. I took the bolts out 6-8 years ago. eventually I will cut the frame off probably. Most of the 3 cyl stuff is pretty poor. If not junk. I have always wanted to haul that 70 out of there, but its just toast. its a ball of rust inside the clutch cover. I have scoured that yard in the early spring with no foliage. surprised you all missed that 73 H2 frame setting in the first row, right where I set it 6 years ago. recently it looks like someone took a hammer and tried to bash the jugs off the loose core h1 engines in the pile, as they are now all destroyed. there is a workable s2 tank on that rack in the center between the kaws and suzukis. and a complete S2 core in the core pile. And I hate to bust your bubbles but in all the H1 engines at M&S Salvage, there is only 1 Bridgeport cylinder. And its been setting with no head for the last 10 years or more. I have ran my finger in every h1 cylinder on the place. They are good people to deal with. But the reality is I have been digging in that mine for 15 years.


They all have Bridge port cylinders now as we put NOS ones on all the bikes :lol: :lol: :lol:
The S2 tank was VERY rusty inside.
We have put a brand new denco spec engine in the H2A frame 8-) ;)

There's only the One cylinder there because I couldn't get it off! I was clearing that yard out over 16 years ago now . . . L O N G before the Triples were of any interest to you boys over here! :P

Back Home ! 13 1/2 hours and back on the coast of NC. The boys and I had a great time (even with the wasp sting, looking much better now). Thanks for the hospitality guys, it was a brilliant trip ! Off to get some well needed shut eye now. :thumbup:

We are back in North Michigan after a very long day!
Got back at 8pm and then unloaded both trailers by 9PM!
down to the Cedar Tavern (local pub) for a meal and a few beers (Guinness) .
The Kawasaki triples club magazine artile on Mid-Ohio has now reached 17 pages as I constantly wrote it up when we were driving.
Today we picked up a low mileage (JUST4000) 69H1.
Bargains are not always what they seem!!!!
