Also a 47T aluminum rea sprocket.

On the cushion drive, they were dubious at best on strength, and, the rubber dampeners did distort/fail quite regularly. What I did to change that was simply to mount the sprocket to the wheel by rotating it one sixth of a turn, then, drilling the correct size holes for the bolts only, and mounting the sprocket solid to the wheel, NO cushion drive at all.

This was on my very hopped up H2R powered street 1973 H2, and I NEVER had a problem shifting, nor tearing up ahny parts in the wheel, chain, and/or transmission/primary drive (wet clutch).

If you look on the site Marvic sire at the repro Morris wheels, their cushion drive is completely different that this early Morris one. If I were to run that cushion drive in the pics, I'd make two changes, I'd use long length studs, as lonf as I could get to fit into the mag threads,nd, use a specialty cushion, like Delrin, or, some sort of harder plastic material than the Morris stuff, simple mods, but a LOT stronger than the Morris original setup.

Not knocking the stock Morris stuff, just offering a better setup.

Every Once in a while I bite my lip until it weeps a little . . . . . to coin a phrase "that post was worthless without pics" . . Actually, just what IS a "H2r" powered street bike with a WET clutch, other than a poorly tuned road bike with "So So" specs (admittedly given out by the factory ((as a decoy)) - ) that just don't cut it!
.
In MHO, . . . Denco and then GAST did the REAL early research into making a H2 fast AND reliable! . . If those guys ( and especially GAST) were putting together actual race bikes back in the day, they would have been reliable and utter conquerors of the World . . . . . . .. Whilst I often blab on about how good the "engineering" is in Britain, those Two guys are still the Elites of the decade back then, they, and they alone set the Standards for the future of H2's

Well, here we go again, don't we.

My street H2 had H2R porting, special heads, 39mm offset bored carbs, nice pipes, different ignition boxes, H2R "D" spec gearbox with 10mm shortened input shaft (the length the R series dry clutch input shaft is different than the wet clutch street bike input shaft), and, other modifications. It WAS basically, an H2R Talladega/Ontario spec engine, with H2R gearbox modified to use a wet clutch, and, a special made kickstart gear so it could use a stock position kick starter with the H2R gear set..

That's the way it was, and, I wish the bike didn't get stolen back in 1994 out of my shop in Merced, California. I spent a lot of time and effort on that bike, and I liked it immensely.

Anyone see
H2F-26538
H2E-26657
Calif license 3F1982, I'd sure like it back.

It had 18 inch Morris Mags on both ends, modified Z1 dampers on the front forks, Koni shocks in the rear, on a Z1 swing arm, Suzuki T125 steel oil tank between the frame rails, under slung pipes, special black ignition boxes, low bars, Under slung rear caliper with Lockheed rear master, Z1 calipers on both ends, duel disks in the front, the very first set of drilled brake discs (they were the original pattern for the 72 hole drilled disks Steve and I did for Yvon's bikes), shift and brake linkage was rods with Heim joints.

Now, Rick, if you don't like it, learn to live with it. Get off my case. By the way, Rick, I rode that bike all over the place in So. Cal., for over 12 years, without a failure, so much for "reliability". n the Kawasaki R&D dyno, the engine made 149 horsepower, at the crankshaft. NOPE, I never took pictures of it, so, flame me even more for not "recording" everything for decades, I was too busy riding my bike, not making pictures to show everyone in creation.

John, I don't care ban me again for defending myself, that seems to be the way it is done around here.

When I look back on it, I'm amazed that I took only one picture of my H2 between the time I bought it in 1978 and about 6 years ago. I'm not amazed that no one else took a picture, just that I didn't I took the one moments after rolling it out of my basement after getting rid of the awful stock early '72 sky blue paint and ugly decals, and replacing them with metallic cobalt blue Imron and no decals.

Ugly blue, and decals? I didn't know you had a Suzuki...........
