Well, an update on the H1 is overdue, so here ya go:
If you havent been following, the motor was rebuilt with Wisecos +.5mm, crank rebuilt with new seals and bearings, carbs rebuilt with Sudco carbs kits and the thing just did not run that well. So disapointed.
Thanks to the guys at the Triples forum, they informed me that the Sudco carb kits are crap! And genuine Mikuni is NLA.
So I sourced genuine used Mikuni brass for the 3 carbs, got it all in and bike is now running fantastic! I've only put about 250 miles on the bike, but what a joy to ride.
It's still a little "doggy" starting off in 1st gear [typical], but once that tach hits 5000, the engine is singing and the bike is ripping!
90mph on this thing feels like you are flying! It is so light and nimble, the superbike bars are perfect for it.
It's been the bike of choice the last 2 weeks for "quick" rides after work when I have the time.
I almost feel bad for the Z1, she hasnt been ridden in a month. [maybe tomorrow].
Last year I won an auction for a body set and now finally fitted the tank and one sidecover, one was incorrect for my year, WTF?! Oh well, I have the old one still on there and plan to source one and get it painted to match.
BTW - these sidecovers are metal and bolt on...nice!
For those who havent heard, I bought an H2! Super excited about it. However, it's not quite ready to ride, it came in 5 boxes........here is one!
