[@Peells01]

I grew up with these and I still love them

[@PetesClassicCycle]

That's awesome! The really provoke some real emotion

[@mmotorcycles9497]

The stories that comes with bikes are usually as cool as the bikes. This is going to be a really cool project and it ended up at the right place for a second life.

[@PetesClassicCycle]

100% agree! That's why I decided to start doing more videos in this format. The people and stories are the backbone of the hobby.

[@s10dreamer]

Very entertaining and I’m not even a bike guy. Looking forward to the series!

[@PetesClassicCycle]

well you did help start Pete's Classic Cycle...

[@randyfarris775]

The bike has gone to a good home! Looking forward to seeing, and hearing this one running. Thanks for the video.

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Thanks Randy! I should have a video of it running soon. I'm bringing in an expert to help me go over the bike.. he did build it after all 😉

[@skandix]

Nice find, I like the fairing it fits the bike. Leave it as a 80's custom.

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Thanks! Unfortunately the fairing has exploded into a million pieces... The bike tipped over and the fairing took the imact; sacrificing itself for the bike.

[@lockviewacres]

Bad ass bike!!

[@PetesClassicCycle]

100%!!

[@philipwhant1014]

Love the paint scheme and even the bikini fairing. Cant wait to to hear it running, and to see what paint scheme you dicide on, but i would run with what it's got just in memory of its previous owner. And it looks soooo cool

[@PetesClassicCycle]

I totally agree! It's a little dated, but so is the bike with all the mods.

[@TheTkirk]

NICE find!!!! Is the motor lokced up?

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Nope! Free as a bird! The owner made sure to keep rotating the crank over the years

[@albertchavez2693]

So sorry to hear of Rick passing away:( , love the bike as I had a 1974 H2 Green and mean:) God I miss my Widow Maker and she almost killed me in 1981 ugh

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Thanks! They definitely have a reputation for biting, if you're not careful

[@yvanmailloux9401]

Congrats! That's a great find! Original colour brown or green?

[@JMKGarage]

Good video Pete. Full restoration on this bike?

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Thanks!! I'm still debating what to do... It's got so many good performance parts I'd hate to convert it all to stock so perhaps do a partial restoration

[@Dlweta57]

Briefly knew this big burly lady motor cycle enthusiast back in the later 80s that had one of thses, but I think an earlier model, it was her daily rider, and she loved it, but I thought the triple exhausts made the bike look unnecessarily..... Ugly.. Will be watching your channel for updates as I'm genuinely excited for you

[@PetesClassicCycle]

That's awesome! The 3 pipes are a bit of an acquired taste since they don't look symmetrical. Thanks for watching the video and I look forward to sharing more with on on this and many other bikes.

[@TheCbxmaster]

And those aren’t stock carbs . Very nice! But yes I would try to make it look more stock ,there worth more money stock.nice bike

[@PetesClassicCycle]

They are 34mm Mikuni flat slides put on by Paul Gast. I'm a little torn with what to do in regards to restoring the bike since it is a cool example of how they were modified. I will probably end up doing a mix between original and performance stuff in the end.

[@TheCbxmaster]

@ my 71H1 has Denco chambers on it and someone put dual disc on the front. I think I will leave it like that but just restore everything into excellent shape.

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

What brand chambers?

[@TheCbxmaster]

@ most chambers back in the day where DENCO.

[@doctordirk6316]

I'd be up all night cleaning the carbs out and sorting a spark!

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Great minds think alike

[@derekb2765]

It'd be interesting to know what you paid for the bike 🤔

[@PetesClassicCycle]

I don't like to disclose that type of information publicly. All I'll say is that the family did their research and were happy with how everything ended.

[@derekb2765]

​@@PetesClassicCycleYeah, I didn't think you'd want to disclose that. But would've been interesting 😊

[@PetesClassicCycle]

​@derekb2765 send me a private message on Facebook and we can talk more

[@derekb2765]

​@@PetesClassicCycle👍🏿

[@MarkTyndale-lj4zd]

Those pipes look like denco to me?

[@PetesClassicCycle]

Similar but these are hydro formed where Denco were welded cone sections
