A well built bike and a long term report would fit into this forum pretty well, I reckon! :thumbup:

NICELY done, sir, really a great bike there. I especially like the front brakes, perfect for spirited riding.

Yes, three years has gone by and the bike is pretty much the same except for another 15000 (24000 km) miles on the odometer.
The pictures (except one below) was taken shortly after I installed the crank that Chris Ritchie built for me. I've not been able to kill that crank and it isn't for the lack of trying. Those plastic caged SKF bearings are really holding up just fine, so no more disintegrated steel cages for me.

Spring last year I modified the front fork using RaceTech gold valves and added a fork brace from Paolo Tarozzi.

Around Easter this year I bored the cylinders (3rd over) and fitted Wössner pistons, and at the same time I modified the heads and cylinders for a proper squish clearance.
Some pictures of that exercise here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.435508866616370.1073741839.100004717809987&type=1&l=e98bb29a58

My next big thing will be the rear end modification that I'm currently showing here: http://kawasakitriples.myfastforum.org/about8579.html

That's about it. The picture below was taken a couple of days ago and the little guy on the H1 is my girlfriends grand son, which makes me kind of a grandfather I guess even though he's father is only my stepson.
