Hi all I'm Spoke & I live in the UK.
I have bought a '81 pro-link which I am in the process of making into a naked, although I may end up making it into a chop.
I am thinking of taking off the airbox & replacing it with 6 K&N airfilters, does anyone have a pic of what this would look like?

I also have a '71 Kawasaki 750 H2 (2Stroke) ~ gone from 3 to 6 cylinders!



Anyway, pleased to meet everyone

Welcome! Is that a recent pic? That looks beautiful!!! BTW, what do you mean by "chop"? This?

Welcome to the site, spoke!

Here is my opinion: Stay away from the K&Ns and stick with the original airbox. CV carbs do not like filter pods and the K&Ns are a strange set-up anyway because of the cramped space between cylinder 3 and 4 intake.
Honda tuned the airbox to compensate for the unequal length of the intake runners on the six cylinders. There is a lot to be said for keeping the airbox if your engine is stock otherwise.

Nice H2. It may say a manufacturing date of 1971 on the VIN plate but it is officially a 1972 model. Did you get this from Rick?

Exactly my advice on the UKCBXCLUB site, you see Mike, we are very similar in many ways...

Yes you are correct on both counts Mike! - my H2 is the oldest one in the UK, a '71 manufactured '72 model, from my pal Rick Brett

Re filters; Thanks for the confirmation on K&Ns,

.....also, what an awesome looking CBX chop Terry -ask the guy to put it in a box & send it me in Great Britain

I don't think you'll be able to get VOSA to give you an SVA on that one Spoke. They're kinda funny about pedestrian impaling adornments..

There is a CBX chopper in the area here. I saw it first several years ago during the time of the very first single-thread ICOA web-site and posted a picture for a member from Texas, I think.
I saw it again two weeks ago at Quaker Steak & Lube where it was hanging from the ceiling. Supposedly it was on loan by the owner during the off-riding season. I will check this weekend. If it is still there, I will take a few pics.

I had K&N's on my first X. I liked the look and performance -don't have a pic - sorry.

It was tuned professionally by M.V. Enterprises "back in the day".

Fire it up!
