      I owned 4 triples in my lifetime:
      2 x H1 500's -
      1 x S1 250 -
      1 x H2 750 -
      I loved them all.

      Nothing else like a Kaw triple!

    Right there IS the Mach111, the first-year, drum brake, and in White, it doesn't get more perfect than this, you should be very proud of what you have achieved, and I reckon it's worth a few bob too.

      Thanks! One of the coolest bikes ever IMHO.

    Charles, I think the ‘69 H1 is one of the most beautiful bikes ever produced. Yours is absolutely gorgeous. I’m very envious. Great job!

      Thank you! The 69 H1 is so iconic. Nothing else like it at the time.

    At 15 years of age, I challenged my cousin to a quarter mile drag race, on my brother's 1969 mach 3. The cousin was aboard a 1969 BSA rocket 3. The first run was a fail on my part, because I shifted into 2nd gear to early, during it's peak torque rpm. It stood straight up, so I had to depress the rear brake to regain control. The second attempt was a success as I achieved red-line through all gears. I defeated the rocket3 by at least three bike links. Had we continued for another 8th of a mile though, the Rocket 3 would've reigned victorious.

    I shouldn't have said "correct low ignition cover." Rather it is the "original low ignition/oil pump cover." All 1969 and early 1970 CDI H1's came from the factory with the "low" cover. After engine #8800, Kawasaki moved to the "high" cover and offered to replace the cover on the earlier bikes. see Kawasaki Special Service News Bulletin #H-3 dated February 6, 1970. Hope that clarifies the comment!

      Thanks! The early H1's have been my passion since 1972.

    Only issue I had with mine was the cranks built in tendency to " twist " on the stepped big end pins and crank - wheel centres ( alot when modified )
    Huge problem on the cdi / single coil / distributor version .
    Ended up rebuilding in stages to allow tig welding of the offending parts .
    32mm carbs , H1R ex John Woodley pipes ( allegedly ) , H2 disc front end & later oval section ( longer I think ) swing arm .
    Was torquey as hell and still managed 12 flat at 110mph in 1977 ; won good money on that thing and like most bikes I've owned I shoulda kept it ...

    Would you consider selling the Mach III? I am looking for a 1969 and don't know where to start.

    • @charlesfloyd3680
      @charlesfloyd3680  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not really interested in selling at this time. Thanks for asking!
