I have right at 200 miles on it after making it road worthy. I still have not decided on a color as of yet. The plan is for it to be a daily rider that I won't get my feelings hurt if it is getting wet. :vroom:

looks really good.

how about z1 color scheme?

Kawasaki had a lot of cool colors in the 70s. I was first thinking of a dark metallic green.
How about the '74 H2B?

I forgot about the metallic green. I have a 2018 z900rs kandy root beer and kandy orange paint scheme.  How about a metallic green z1 scheme :clap:

I wonder it there is a metallic candy tone green paint code for the H2. Anyone have a starting point?

Wow quite a bit of information. Thanks so much for the jump start. :clap:

front dual disc conversion almost complete, I need to clean rotors and obtain a 4 port splitter. I though the 3 port would be ok, and it does work , however it interferes with placement of track stand for service/work.

the last time i did this i double banjoed the bolt from the left to the right caliper over the fender.  actually removed the splitter, so 1 line from master to caliper w double banjo, then a short line from that to the other caliper.  Local hydraulic place shop makes stainless line to order, cheap. If you need the splitter for a brake switch, just use a switched banjo at the master. that all cleans up the front end a lot IMHO. Or, double banjo at the master and 2 seperate lone lines ot each caliper. there's lots of ways to do it.  :twocents:

hmmm I thought about going from one caliper over the fender, however I purchased hoses to route it this way.  :whistle: I have spent more than I wanted to by changing my mind and going dual disc :bang: LOL all great suggestions . I now have some spare misc items from changing my mind.  :umm:

found a smaller front fender on eBay, it was in much better shape than the pics displayed.front dual disc conversion complete, just a few small details to iron out. Upper pic is after, lower is before fender and dual disc conversion.
