Kawi H1f rebuild thread

I'm reliving some old memories here.
I've been coming across people and places that I haven't thought of in years.
Old girlfriends, places I used to work....

I'll post up a few of the better photos in Kitchen Sink. (No nekkid ones though, I'm not into betraying trust, even if it's 40 years out of date)

Thanks Rob.

If I can remember to charge my GOPro tonight I am going to do a little videoing tomorrow. So over due.

Some good Stevie Ray to go with a little ring ding ding should hit the mark.

My friend Wob who did this just let me know he is terminal.

Fricking heart is sagging. Can’t go see him in the hospital. Hoping he breaks free so I can see him.

:cry

Haven't logged on in FOREVER. Man. Budman rides a 2 stroke. About friggin' time!!

the sound, the smell, the VIBRATION. I couldn't take my hands off the 500's bars (know what i mean? heheh)..Only rode one once, but....yeah....a handful :)

I wonder if many here know what kenny was saying when he said his ride @ laguna seca was "rich", but safe? :)~*

When I quit riding my RD400F up heeyah around Mt. Saint Helens 2005~2015? (mostly to Cougar / FS90 / McClellan Viewpoint / Old Man Pass, a friend of mine called it the "end of an era". Sad, but many over 20 years of rebuilds...I think i put in at least 2 lifetimes in that daytona (88,000 miles to be exact).

One year had a port job by RB Designs (Portland, OR semi-retired now...small jobs KDX200/220 mods), silicone o-ring heads, tight squish and compression low enough for 92 octane and redline full race synthetic at 25:1 <----kick ass mix man!.. SMOKIN'.

It it ain't smokin', it ain't broken. Although I quit smokin'......smokem if you got em.

triples got nasty w/ electronic ignitions...

Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm guessing he's rode a couple of two strokes. If so, better to go out having ridden one than not.

Peace,

Kevin B. in sunny Battleground, WA (the roads are kick-ass up here).

RD, RM, CZ and even raced a Gamma.

Love the smell ... the sound.

Have to agree. Most of my bikes are 2-strokes. Recently I picked up a few diesels. Have to admit, you can’t beat getting on an angry lc350 or wobbly rg500. Love them.
