nice. Kawasaki is a well built motorcycle, huh.

So, it needs 3 rubber dampners to tame the vibration in the turn signals... what do they have to do to for mirrors, or were you never suppose to worry whith what was behind you?

Usually every bike was faaar behind you David...

Ha...good point, Larry! Dont have mirrors for this bike yet but the stock mirrors on my H1 are excellent, much better than the average 70's mirror.

Congrats and getting the engine in Steve and having a nice roller. Looks like great progress and very much looking forward to your finished product. Sure it will be better then new !!

Thanks Eric. Dont know about better than new, but if it runs as well, I'll be very happy!
I'm staying focused on this bike now and trying to do something daily, no matter how small.

Just ordered front sprocket, washer, nut and chain....

Without reading back deep Steve what eventual color scheme are you going with on the tins ? and hopefully not skull and crossbones or a big black spider with a red dot by its tail

Well thanks to frickken foto-fukit, this thread's pics are gone. Damn them! I've switched to Flickr and will restore the pics as time allows.

Small update due to work on the K4 "Big Bang" bike but I do now have all the parts for the headlight bucket and it is mounted! I know that sounds so minimal but was not simple to get it right. I've opted to go with the short turn signal stems, and Z1.net offers up a high quality part...

Better and better

You're not far away from 'first fire' at this point Stev-o ?

The stock Mikuni carbs are now immaculate! I disassembled them, sent them to Nils for vapor blasting and ultrasonic cleaning and are now awaiting reassembly. New cables are on the list to be purchased.

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread, but I cannot find anywhere else where this may fit better. Went to AMA VMD last weekend and met the Kawasaki Triple "pope" - Rick Brett. He was riding an unusual H1-based bike. One that a friend of his built, inspired by Allan Millyard:

(Cannot rotate the picture. Someone would have to tell me how.)

Double Triple! I've read all about Allan Millyard, what he does with these bikes is incredible.

RB is a legend when it comes to Kawasaki Triples, would like to make it up to one of his Birthday bashes in MI some time.

Thanks for posting Mike.

MikeSimon · « **Reply #1221 on:** July 11, 2017, 07:14:53 AM »

If you look closely, it is not a "double Triple", it is a "Seven". Funny looking from the back, with 3 exhaust tips on the right and four on the left, keeping the unbalanced look of the original.

MoMo · « **Reply #1222 on:** July 11, 2017, 07:37:44 AM »

Wow, I can't even count correctly. Thanks for posting that Mike

it would be interesting to try to ride behind that H1+4 when he gets on it

Funny thing was, it didn't sound that outrageous. I was wondering what kind of firing order it had. Maybe a couple of cylinders fired in pairs
