This bike was not in the best of shape when I got it from Leroy. I had to resort to some cave-man tactics to get the cylinders off but all is good now. This is the first time I got the chrome back before I needed it and it only took three weeks to get it back! :thumbup: , wouldn't you know, I didn't open the box of chrome when it was delivered, I waited two weeks :oops: and when I did open it the other day I found that two of the exhaust pipes were damaged during shipping(lesson learned about unpacking stuff in front of the driver)and I had to send them back. :thumbdown: So far the bike is coming along nicely and if all goes well I should have all the parts and have it done in another two weeks.

They always look nicer than they are when you start.

Getting the cylinders off.

I tried less invasive means but was thwarted.

The crank was rusted in and had to be junked. It took a whole day to get the cased apart.

Wow what a job.
Looks like that engine has been sitting for quite some time!

Love the looks of the H1D, and nice looking Zed in the background btw.

Good luck !

I still have the fuel line clamps and the rear footrest pins to put on but I lost them in the garage.

The cables have all since been routed correctly.

I'm pretty sure the master cylinder cap is from a '72 unless the early '73s had this cap. I am getting the other style ready.

I am also still going to change out the seat cover, then it should be pretty good.

Super nice job!
You are correct... the MCyl cap used is from earlier models.
If you aren't aware... the dash light panel is a Japan only for later models. The H1D is unique to H1 & S for '73.
Here is H1D panel:
