Re: Kawasaki H2 750 Triple **Spring 2012 Update**
Got the electrical back together. Cleaned out the oil tank, lines, etc. Same with the fuel tank and carbs.
I had to bolt before the work was finished (Colin James at Massey Hall!!) but my buddy wouldn't wait til next week, so he finished and kicked it over. It sparked into life again around 4:20pm eastern time yesterday. I didn't hear it
but maybe later today after work.
So, I'm waiting on a custom seat from Pacomotorsport and then there will be sub frame mods, tail light licence plate mount work, turn signals and paint.
Maybe we actually WILL get this thing out for a shakedown run this year!
(pics to follow later!)

Thank you fellas!
No pics or video yet.
Ran into some "tuning" issues with the carbs! They've been sitting for almost 2 years and the slides were sticking some. Decided to pull the carbs apart again to really get 'em really clean and order main jets, pilot jets, etc.
I don't think it'll be running again for a little while! I'm on it though! No stopping me now! 8)
Don't worry though, I'll get you somethin' as soon as there's somethin' worth seeing!

Kawasaki "Mongrel" H2 750 Triple *Back on the Workstand*
Wow. Finally something positive to report.
The seat is here. Well... one of the seats. I ordered a custom one-off seat from Pat (pacomotorsports) but it's gonna take more time to get that one done. So in the meantime, I ordered a seat from MotoLanna. Back ordered!! Crap!
So we waited...
and waited...
and waited...
And then today!! ;D
So here we go! The plan is to reshape the sub frame to accept this one AND the custom seat that's on the way. I want to be able to use both. It's gonna be tricky but I think it can be done.
When we get some action, I'll post some more pics.

Haha! Ya, as soon as I saw "the Johnson" in the pic, I figured there would be some comments! ;D
It was great to meet you and chat with you in Paris! Once again, great work on Trev's h2! That is one sweet machine! 8)

Wow! That's nice!! 8) Can't wait to see that in the flesh!
Maybe we can park 'em side by side in October!

As long as I get to see it at Mid-Ohio, I will be happy.
