Well, that would be an Kawasaki H2...   insane triple 2-stroke.... 

Drewski has one and can offer some other comments.  My understanding is that the knob is the original "damper" and the other one is an aftermarket piece.

Ya, it's a VERY special machine!  Shocked

I've got a 74 H2. That looks like a 72. It looks very original, so be carefull not to mess with that aspect of it. Those are among the most desireable of all the H2's. Some have been sold in the $10 to $15 thousand range!!! Shocked Shocked  No joke!!

Its a gem... it needs to be treated as one!!  Grin


Here's mine:
