Description

1972 Kawasaki H2 750 Mach IV for sale. Everything on the bike was original equipment except a couple of the turn signals.
The tires where original equipment Yokohama’s, 1972 vintage, and still showing significant tread (I have photos).
The pistons and rings were (and remain) standard bore, with relatively tight ring end gaps (I installed new Kawasaki std. rings). The top end had never been off the motor.
The exhaust system was original.
The chain was original.
The brake pads and shoes were original and showed little wear (the rear wheel had never been off the bike).
This H2 appeared to have had a short but exciting life during those relatively few miles. The original owner must have used a lot of chain lube or kept the chain oiler filled.  I suspect the owner lived on a dirt road and must have owned a dog judging from the amount of dog hair embedded in the oily grunge on the underside of the bike. The stock exhaust system was still installed and had some typical rust, a few small dents and a minor scrape. The left side engine cover had a shallow scrape which I sanded out. I was surprised the bike had good compression when I received it.

 
Restoration included:

New rings, standard bore. OEM std. pistons in the bike. New base and head gaskets of course.
