Kawasaki 750 H2 in the studio

Perfectly restored classics

Content of

We can present these perfectly restored Kawasaki H2 models here in duplicate. They come from the first two years of construction and are coated with a shiny paint called "Candy Gold". Very stylish!

Car drivers honking with their thumbs up, passers-by pausing piously, colleagues making pilgrimages to the photo studio – the unloading turns into a little spectacle every time Ralf Gille brings us one of his masterful restorations to be photographed. Classic readers will definitely remember the incredibly detailed new builds by the specialist for Kawasaki’s two-stroke and W models (see issues 6/2015 and 5/2016). This time, the restorer from Frankfurt even pleased us with two gold pieces: a completely rebuilt Kawasaki 750 H2 from 1972 and one Kawasaki 750 H2A from model year 1973. Both are presented here in their absolute original condition. And what’s more: You built in parts that are now almost worth gold. NOS is the magic word that makes enthusiasts bend their knees in awe and cross over rare material. Because "New Old Stock" stands for original stock items – unused and therefore sinfully expensive!

Basic model completely tinkered with

The 1972 Kawasaki H2, which Gille built from a completely tinkered specimen, should particularly enjoy intense pats among connoisseurs. He couldn’t use anything more than the frame and some chassis components for the reconstruction. That is why this example in the color “Pearl Candy Gold” adorns many NOS parts. The exhaust system, mudguards, immersion pipes, rims, lamp holders, instrument housings, handlebar fittings and the seat, along with countless screws and small parts, come from old stock. All other components have been refurbished in such a way that they cannot be distinguished from new parts. This applies in particular to the slot-controlled three-cylinder two-stroke engine, which was completely rebuilt after the perfectionist had finally found the engine housing parts that matched the chassis number.

Exhaust is a high quality replica from Japan

The basis of the 1973 Kawasaki H2A was a parts package that was almost complete. Its exhaust is a high-quality replica from Japan, while the mudguards, seat, fittings, lamp holder, taillight unit and the candle holder attached to the rear bumper along with small parts were also taken from the NOS shelf. Ralf Gille had the “Candy Gold” paint set painted by a German specialist, and an Italian artist helped the first 1972 H2 to shine.
