It's great that you ride the crap out of it, I would too. Instead of using the steering lock do you just take the kickstart lever with you so nobody can steal it? ;)


the kick starter broke when we did the first fuel in Paris when we started on friday morning, so we fired up the H1 on pushing the whole week end ;)

I Push-started my H2 for 18 months, when I put a H1 gearbox in it, and "forgot" to change the right Kick-start gear - Hey, I was a kid, and knew everything...! :lol: :lol:

stupid people stole my kick on my 350 Big horn (1972 model year) on 1974: ordered one which did two months for coming from Japan so pushed it during two months and used it daily.
Was young too (18 ears old) and the big single wasn't so easy to start cold on pushing :mrgreen:

I would love to have a tank like this... Very cool and practical for long trips.
What is the capacity and any chance they are available?

more than 26 liters; already put 26 liters in and there was still fuel inside.
Very convenient for long trip as you write Walms.
Got it on german Ebay some years ago was new and never used with white paint and blue stripe.
According to the K german triple guys the maker was Haberman or Friedel Münch and the tank was built around 69 70.
