72 H2 project bike

[magixr]

it's a 72 H2,

with a 2001 ZX7 set of inverted front forks
and a Zypher rear swing-arm with the eccentric adjusters.

made an adapter bushing to fit the lower steering-head,
which accepts a tapered bearing for the longer stem of the inverteds.

flipped the clip-ons from side to side and over to come level instead of downwards.

fit the chrome front fender and chromed as much else as possible.

blended as much of the old engineering with the newer technology.
still have to figure how to make the old steering dampener work

just got the Higgs stainless pipes and am fitting them to the bike.

looking for some stock ZRX 11 rear shocks or something newer/softer than these air assisted upside downers.

be a while before i get to kick it.

Nice project magixr.

One suggestion regarding sharing your photobucket pictures.

When picture shown, just click the "IMG" tab at down right corner. (you have 4 alternatives below the "share this photo?" text) Then right click and paste directly into this page, and the picture appear without going through a link.

Bet your bike handles well :-)

thanks Jorgen,

i have tried a dozen times to cut and paste the URL and such without success.
had the same problem as you with the system not allowing the add attachment function.

you can see pipe welder managed to get some pictures pasted.
but they do not always load up.

i even have a hard time getting those images to upload to photo bucket.

would definitely prefer to have the images come up with the post, will try again when i am not frustrated.

you have a great imagination and a beautiful project bike and i love your wheels.
my long term plans are to find spokes for mine with the anodized gold rims like yours.

cheers
