Nope, King Kenny's name is just a graphic.That is very cool.
Nothing like the smell of burning 2 stroke in the morning!
Is it really signed by Kenny Roberts or is it just a graphic?
Neut, if you do alter it, I wouldn't do anything permanent and save all the stock parts. My stock "cadillac" converters are still hanging in the basement after I took them off 30 years ago to install Spec II pipes, along with the pulse-air injector pump. One more thing - GET IT IN YOUR POSSESSION ASAP! God forbid something happens to it in the meantime. Good luck!I have a 73 Kawi 750 H2 that my father in law gave me that he bought new in 73. Its an amazing machine. Scarry fast with crap suspension and crap brakes. Waiting to make room for it here so i can get it shipped down from RI
Not sure if i am going to make it a cafe racer or keep it original. It is in near perfect condition.
This is an internet pic i found of what it looks like. Cept mine has performance expansion chamber exhaust. I dont have any pics of my own yet. It is currently 750 miles away.
Still extremely coolNope, King Kenny's name is just a graphic.
Every one of my bikes and waverunners have been modded and i have every original parts in my attic.Neut, if you do alter it, I wouldn't do anything permanent and save all the stock parts.

Thanks D! Unfortunately, from the factory the engine has a fatal flaw in that the heavy flywheel on the left tends to pull apart the pressed crankshaft from repeated bouts of "spirited" riding. I.e., thrashing it like it was meant to be. The cure is truing and welding the crank BEFORE the piston takes out the left jug (ask my buddy Jan how he knows this :^). Gary Shumake at Spec II is "the guy" for everything RD/RZ, but he's getting up there and will likely retire soon. On that day, the two-stroke world will be worse off because of it. He told me the other day about a stroker RZ he built confirmed on two dyno's as putting out 97 HP. hehehe - 277 HP/liter.RZ is f’ing sweet.
