[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3114773, member: 24583"] Yep, 1972 H2, THE original crotch rocket. I purchased the second one sold in Tulsa, good friend was the the owner of the shop, he got the first one. I had a pretty stout Mach III 500, but he called me to come over for a test ride on the new 750 he got in that morning. He knew he would have sure sale. Drove it 4 miles home, pulled the jugs off and got the grinder out and did the little "Racing Mod Sheet" Kawasaki had provided the shop manager with. Wife had the Werges expansion chambers in the trunk that were immediately bolted on as it went back together a couple hours later. Had to wait 3 days to get the stiffer clutch springs to keep from busting it loose. Kinda a good thing I guess, forced me to drive it a little easy to break it in. Ha Ha After a while there were several around with the same mods, my friend and I would be wheel to wheel from 50 to 100mph so I had to figure out something better. Air intake was under the seat, just a round hole facing up in the airflow into a filter can. I formed a small piece of cardboard to create an air dam behind it, turning it into a scoop rather than just free airflow across, painted it black so it would not be noticeable, and now I had a consistent 6' advantage accelerating from 50 to 100 over my buddy. Kinda felt bad I never told him how I did it. Well, not really bad enough to share it with him for quite a while. Ha Ha They are your friend until the flag goes down, ya know? Yep, most fun street bike I ever owned. 56k miles and was only out of Tulsa County a few times. It was definitely a stoplight special. You could boil the back tire if you wanted, kick it into second, and immediately had to back off the throttle through 3rd to just keeping the front tire dangling before hitting 4th where it would settle back down and you could get back to full throttle. Sometimes we look back and wonder how we are still alive. Wahoo, let's go around one more time. Sorry we got off topic here, but sometimes we just can't help ourselves. When you get you M on your license, remember. When you throw your leg over that seat, magically you and that motorcycle become "invisible". People pull out in front of trains, trucks, and cars, do you think they are going to treat you any different? Stay safe and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
