Clutch levers are silver on early vin 72 and black on later 72's I believe. Researched this as I was questioning my own '72 restorations... Very nice bike!

I can't wait until my shop is completed. Your bike is beautiful and really an inspiration for me. I only hope my restoration comes out half as nice as yours. Great job!! :thumbup:

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the H2 because I am caring for my Mom most of the day(she has ALS) so progress has been slow. All I have left now is to put in the new clutch plates and the O rings for the oil pump when they show up and hook up the cables, add the petcock and she's done. There is screws missing on the clutch cover cause I have to take it off again.

That sucks, I actually thought it was supposed to be black. I guess I'll have to get the old one out and spruce it up.


You don't have to if you like the black one better. I do.
