Hi My Name is Pete , Id like to build H2 to use in the classic racing here in New Zealand All ive got at the moment is 74 H2 frame . I race z1,s at present here , So i have plenty of wheel sets and i also have h1 parts bike . Please can any body tell me which h1 parts can be interchanged between h1 and h2 . And where to look for a complete h2 engine and body kit.
Great to join you guys !!
all the best !! Pete

Pete, there are very few parts that are common between H2 & H1. And there are early and late H1's & H2's that compound the interchange problem.
Body parts and especially engines are pretty scarce for H2b and are very expensive when you find them.

Thanks so much for that !! Ill better start looking for h2 parts and forget about using my H1 parts .
I race with CAMS motorcycle club here in the south Island And im really keen about finally having a H2 that I have wanted for many years . Does anybody know about swingarms to fit a road racing bike .
I use GSX 1100 on my Z
Thanks so much for ur help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pete

If you want to roadrace the H2B then front wheel needs to be 18", swing arm needs to be shorter than H2B by 1 1/2" to 2", longer shocks.

Great!! As ive got 18 race wheels ,I use lay down shocks on the z1 as well. Is there a swing arm that i should look out for . or better to build one ?
Many thanks !! Pete

Most aftermarket swingers are longer than stock. It would be good if you could make one. I would keep it the short stock early H2 (72-73) if you are close to sea level. I use a 2" shorter one at altitude because of the power loss. Or if you jack up the back a lot like I do and want super quick steering, go shorter.
