Met a bloke today who stumbled across a couple of H2's and snapped them up, lives only 600M. from me. One bike, '72/'73, while having sat for x amount of time, had... Factory double disc kit, down to the R.H. brake line guides, etc... long "Euro" rear fender, sought after by the rivet counters, original air filter assy. down to pliable and useable rubbers, and everything else you can get on an early H2, including 2 rust free gas tanks, oh, and a side cover that actually hadn't fallen off yet!! The things you see. :shock: (Owns a pub. too, we are friends for life!! :lol: )

Am I correct to assume that "M" is meters? If so, you guys should be drag racing each other soon!

The pub owner's H2s sound like all they need is gas in the tanks.

Lucky finds happen, and I was fortunate to find my '72 after it sat forgotten since '77.

Not far off, Jim, just 30 years of neglect, mouse nests in the air-cleaner, rock hard tyres etc. etc.! But scary original!
