you're the one who said you had pic of one....... You obviously didn't make the conection till you saw the name either
More a fan of the bloke in UK who slotting RG500 mills into RGVs.
There is plenty of those I can remember about twenty of them
My fav one was one NWS did or the one with all the Real swantze and harris stuff

It is a remarkably straightforward operation to adapt the Kaw mill to Yam chassis, & the XJ wheel mod is likewise not moon rocket stuff..Issue 31 Streetbike 1st bike in readers rides
Wasn't exactly straight forward repower & the xj550 wheel was awkward. 50kg lighter than a std H2 & double the power the 350lc etc.
The extra power from more than doubling the capacity is expected, but the improved steering/handling/roadholding is a bonus..
The larger Kaw mill means the 'flighty' light feel at the front end of the RD, that makes nervous people want to fit a steering damper, is gone..

you got some pics of the H2 / RD ????? Be interesting.

If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

Yeah, ta H, I put that heap on a weigh bridge.. 160kg drippin'.. with all the road legal shit you see there, on board..
Dunno if its the gyro forces from the big triple crank that settles the 'flighty' feeling RD high speed steering down,
but, for sure, its a significant improvement for ~15kg worth of extra mill weight..

\ yes I agree, i had an H1a {UK variant with the 'coil' ignition} was only slightly slower than the mach3, and agreed quicker than a 350LC, but as I said my 350LC was a stephen's {the yam guru} tuned one.... and it was quicker than the kwaka, in fact in the early years of LC production, there were two 'club' tuned?? stephen's 350LC's at boxhill surrey and they took immense delight in chasing/beating CB900's. CBX's. Kwak 1000's round the 'circuit' and were incredibly quick on acceleration.

Ta , never seen one of those ! Must be a great with the H2 torque ? From memory the stock H2 was finished at 7500rpm .No worries.

Yeah, stock H2 is really a bit of a 'Clark Kent' in standard form, soft-tuned from the factory, but like most 2-strokes a bit of tuning
wakes 'em up nicely.. if you check the dyno charts in the 1973 Superbike Shootout thread elsewhere in the classic section, you'll see..

Yeah I have a mate who had one same as mine, the first blue model.
But when I rode his, he had another 1000rpm to make it 8500rpm !!!!
" Production" don't you know !!! haha.
He won on it as I remember at Gracefield Wgton but sold it shortly after (probably before the protests started ??? lol)
But yes stronger down low than the CB750 Honda of the time.
