Restoring my '73 Kawasaki H1 500

[JK]

when you put the brakes on, take alot of pics. Why? Because i really want an old honda, but hated the drum brakes... if i could see how to fit disc brakes to wire wheels, i'll be in buisness!

They're next on the list.

Staring in '72 ( on the H1 500 {option} & standard on the H2 750) you could get disk brakes. So it's no problem having spokes and disk brakes ( on the front).

i guess i havent cruised the old Kawis enough then. Most went to those UGLY 2 tone cast looking things when they moved to disc brakes.

What a great thread. Looks like your enjoying this project and as a reader I appreciate the amount of documentation that you have put into it.

I am looking forward to watching the build up, and I suppose the next 2 as well.

This makes me want to take my bike and car apart for no other reason then having something fun to to.

Me? I wish I could. I am broke and 5 weeks away from graduating with my undergrad degree in Management. I am broke way to broke to be messing with working transportation.

Hopefully once I land a job and find a place to live I can start tearing everything up! I can't wait, it is so rewarding to take things apart and put them back together in better shape than they were in.
