i seriously doubt thats a 'correct' dual disc setup, it was a 'factory' dealer ad on, but the actual real ones are hens teeth, almost guarantee its from kz parts.

I mean, plan on dumping another 7-12k into it to be a reliable rider.  Just depends how bad you want one. looks like it has one of jims lakeland ignition boxes on it. But id bet the motor needs a full rebuild.

That's how much they cost.

As mark said. make sure your finances are in order and get your wallet out.  Going from roller to rider is a long and expensive journey, with one more of everything compared to a twin.

IMHO, even a well sorted H2 isn't a particularly enjoyable bike to own and ride.

I agree with everything except the enjoyable bike to own and ride part.There is no sensation like a well tuned H2 coming on the pipe. Personally I don't care for either the 74 or 75 models. They are longer, slower, heavier and the 74 and up oiling system is a PITA with the single feed line to the mains and the three carb float bowl lines. To each his own.

Well, I take it as a NO for me then.

I have never seen a triple before but certainly understand where you guys are coming from in terms of it's handling, restoration costs, parts availability etc. but I think those motors are fun and I can hear'em all day long especially with Dencos they make awesome crackle.
