SOLD - Thank you all for looking at it.

My name is Gordon and I am new to this forum.
I have a 1972 Kawasaki S2 350cc Two-Stroke Triple project motorcycle for sale.
I would like it if some triplehead can bring it back to life.
This motorcycle needs total restoration. I bought this motorcycle years ago in this condition, and I don't know its history. I had plans to restore it, but real life happened along the way and I don't have the time or space to work on it now.
It is in Southern California.

I am asking $500 for this motorcycle. I haven't shipped a motorcycle before, but if you are interested, we can work it out.
I have more photos but I can only post 3 now.

Valid California title in my name
Non-op registration - no back DMV fees
California License plate
Frame and engine numbers match the title certificate

Mileage: unknown - missing tachometer and speedometer
Original color is red (underside of tank)

It has several hard-to-find parts:
All three undamaged mufflers. Surface rust but no rusted-through holes (But no baffles).
All three complete carburetors. Fairly clean inside - no old gasoline or water gunk.
Gas tank in fairly good condition. There is a dent on the left side. No left-over gasoline sludge and not too much internal rust.
Petcock in excellent shape including internal fuel strainer filter
Chain guard
Ignition switch and key
Handlebar Headlight switch and Run/Stop switch
Seat
Seat lock and key

Missing parts:
No tachometer or tachometer cable
No speedometer or speedometer cable
No instrument panel
No right-side engine oil pump cover
No air filter housing or air inlet snorkels
No rear fender
No rear sprocket or chain
Only one coil
Left-side generator/rotor engine cover is cracked
Center piston was seized and shattered

I have another S2 and KH400, as well as a Suzuki GT550 two-stroke triple that I hope to be able to restore soon. I am almost finished restoring a Honda GB350G Supersport (why? - it was complete and in pretty good shape but I have gone way overboard with it! Isn't that always the way with restorations?)

Hello Moto, welcome to the board!

Hi Gordon - I imagine you will have a buyer very soon. Great price!

Great project for someone! Welcome to the board!

Did someone here buy this? I ask because I have a very rough 72 S2 that has many of the missing parts, plus I have a bunch of parts that I bought for this project that will never happen. May be helpful to the new owner.
I will post some pictures and list of parts in the coming week.
I'm not trying to step on this listing, I just want to offer additional parts to supplement this project. (or anyone who needs S2 parts)
I will be putting up a separate post when I have pictures and a list of available stuff.
