Paul......gave them a parts list of about 100 items, nothing in their building, he is checking their storage. Might pay to wait till thats done first....then I will ask. Wonder if I should take it down to Manfeild as a display and see what happens.

John you could try Boyle Kawasaki in Wellington. They have been in business since the 70s and may know something.
Cheers

Rang them,Only young-uns there, nobody has any details. Previous owner who knew all this as moved on.

Thanks for the lead, will follow it and keep you posted.Your other comment does seem to back up my research that it was almost exclusively blue tank H2 triples that came here.

Hi John, it might be worth running a line of enquiry past Norjo Kawasaki in Chch, they still exist and they ran more Kawa 750 H2s than anybody back then, although to my memory their gun rider Owen Galbraith turned out regularly on a blue one. Nevertheless if your gold one had a big bingle at Hawkesbury or similar it may ring a bell for them.

Hi Everyone,
I am rebuilding a Kawasaki 750 H2.
Chap I got it off lived in the South Island, history he gave me was that apparently it was raced, and went down damaging the front frame. It was repaired, but never was finished , and reassembled.
I dont have any dates, and have spoken to the usual suspects- Crosbie and Eric Bone,and Barry Algie- they dont remember, and the Roger Freeth one is accounted for with impeccable history.
It is Candy Gold in colour, the petrol tank is missing, and one side cover.There is a ShellSport sticker on one side of the tailpiece, and North Sales on the other side. There was a Peter Jackson Sticker with F5000 on the middle of the top tailpiece, regretfully, I took it off to see the colour underneath, and it has disappeared. On one of the oil tank covers, also the same Gold -there is an Ocean Pacific clothing sticker., but no 750 sticker....definitely a repaint as the lighter gold is underneath.
So this makes it a NZ machine
The bike was originally H2 Candy Gold, but some one repainted it the next model Gold, which is different , and put the H2A stripes on
Will put up pix as I can.
They came in only 2 colours for H2
Blue was the usual colour for these to NZ, Aus and Britain,
Gold was US and Asia.
So this one could been imported for racing....who knows?
My question is- does anyone remember this bike either racing or on the road, could be either North Island or South Island history[attachment=1]imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-qElSfw8zZg1EBdq7.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-xpmsaQu1QMV2kkXN.jpg[/attachment]
