As you can imagine just after the passing of both my parents I really needed something of a distraction and this bike was it…
Barry Gill, the bike’s rightful owner, left me with the boxes which contained the Kawasaki H2 back in September 2021 and my feeling was just to get the bike as close to full original as I could.
Looking through the box of bits I could see that the frame was straight but in poor condition, with the centre-stand lugs missing (clearly cut out to fit some expansion chambers) and engine mounts cut-out, too. I bead-blasted the frame and powder-coated it to the original colour; this was only after I’d engineered new lugs for the frame thanks
