started S1/S2 kawaski restoration
« on: June 09, 2015, 04:09:12 AM »
Well, I have 4 kawasaki S2's and one S1. None with good carburators. The reason i am using an S1 frame is it's the only one halfway good looking. The 350 motor bolted right on.
Only difference between the 250 - 350 are the carbs, exhaust manifolds, and heads, ok and maybe a few small parts.

This is taking me a long time to get to this point: repainted gastank, sidecovers, tail section.

Now, trying to get it running. The carbs enricher cables are all stuck. Thought of buying aftermarket carbs, but the $'s just aren't in my budget.

Every time I earn some $ the wife sniffs it out for house projects, But I am getting better at hiding some $ so I am looking to buy : tires, cables, points, etc etc.... soon.  8)






note no carbs in second picture  :'(

Love the Triples, currently restoring an H1 and have an H2 coming soon.

Danny in CA has thousands of parts for sale and is fairly reasonable.

Those stock pipes? Nice looking bike  8) I hope you still have the stock airbox,it really helps for low-midrange torque.
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !
