OK then he must have changed it or he lied and he wasn't the original owner.

Your serial number is right for an H1B, so it looks like the ignition parts were changed. That's done quite a bit with triples, for various reasons.

Those ignition units aren't mine, they are from Triple Resourses(mraxl) PARTS ID section

I thought you were saying they look like the ones you have.

No just using the photo as a reference to what my old H1B had, my old H1B race bike had the H2 style ignition boxes, I though they standard, but it appears that they aren't, my old H1 is long gone, I have a H2A now that I just finished restoring.

I have to admit I got confused between the original poster Fabreezai and BazNSW, probably quite a few posts back. :oops:

Swap points ignition on H1B with H1D/H2 CDI is really a good thing and an easy job. But on the 70s should be a rather expensive swap.

I have a feeling it may have been done by the dealer or bike shop, I think he may have bought it that way, he didn't seem all that mechanically minded.

It was pretty common to take parts off showroom bikes back then, Kawasaki wasn't a big dealer network back then either, so getting parts from Japan could take forever.

Rod I did fix the lean some what, I closed the gap so it sat more upright, so it's as it would have been from new, it will do for now.

One of two things then. Either your crank was totally trashed, and you needed new rod kits and premium bearings. Or you didn't price compare. :wtf:


It has been a while but I do know that I got my rods replaced and I am 90% sure I went for the premium bearings. I didn't want to have rpm issues. Seems like I also had a bad wheel; press fit hole was too loose. I'm going to tell myself that all of this is true and likely added to the cost.

Yup, that's what it was
