Re: "Drewski's h1a/750"
Say, if you're putting a H2 engine in a H1 frame, won't that make the bike nose heavy? Could the thing spit you off if you hit the front brake hard, you know, rotate around the front wheel? You might need some lead ballast hanging off the back of the expansion chambers!!

Hey Kemp!!
There's a lot of "h2" on this "h1"! The front end, wheels, swing arm and engine are off h2's or kz1000's! The only thing left of the h1 is the frame and body work! The frame is a little smaller and lighter, but we've beefed it up with gussets and bracing, so i don't think there's much to be concerned about.
As far as overall dimensions go, the wheelbase might be a tad longer than a h1, due to a slightly longer swing arm.
This one's not a lightweight! If anything, we've over-built in the interest of safety, and because it's what I had laying around. We could work on lightening it up after we get it rolling this year. We'll see!
Beyond all that, I think my "lead butt" will keep the back end solidly planted on the tarmac my friend! ;D

Maybe that should be "Smoker Brothers" Walms! It sure would be cool to have a pair of h2's to blaze along on!
Yep... lookin' forward to 2014 myself! 8)

Oh, and I won't tell you what he picked it all up for as we don't any crying before Christmas!
