King of the Mountain, RIP
I had this beast in '78 while in the forces. (I lost pics of mine, this is an example)
1975 Kawasaki H2 500. Bassani chambers, jetted, raised needles and K&Ns...flat bars as well.
It was very peppy and reliable.
Dropped it 2 times. First time was due to a broken throttle cable. The cable snapped at the grip leaving enough material to wrap around a broken Bic pen. This got me home...almost. As I was making a right hand turn onto one of the final streets to home, the front end kicked out sending me down and spinning into the far curb. I was ok, bent a chamber tho. What happened was, as I was pulling on the throttle with the Bic pen rig(t-grip kinda thing)I didn't realize that my hand was up leaning on the front brake lever....fuck.
Second time I dropped it was going around a left 90 leaned over too far and drug a chamber. Went down bending my gear selector...fuck.
I wish they'd bring back street 2 strokes. I love to have a Gamma
