I had to go back and look to see why the "small head" comment. The whole family roared with laughter.

I put the super bike bars on the 74 H2 after a few years of riding it with the bucko bars. I don't know exactly what it changes but it feels better and it is easier to push thru turns etc;. Still have the high ones for possible later use.

battleaxe (Joe Byrd) turned me on to the Suz Bandit bars which I have now on my bike. Here's the specs: 2 1/2 inch rise from the middle of the lower level of the bar to the middle of the upper level of the bar, 4 1/2 inch pull back, 5 1/2 inch center length, 28 inches wide. One thing that differs on bars is the angle of the pull back part of the bar when you hold the rising part straight up when viewed from the side. Most bars angle up, these are almost 90 degrees. Not inexpensive though, but worth it IMHO.

have genuine Kawasaki euro bar on my H2B, half bar and this is very good; on my 69 H1 has the genuine euro bar, flat bar, which is perfect too.
But if you can fit it on 71 to 73 H2A I think for later H2 or H1D and after the choke on the case assy would hit the tank when you turn the bar.

I have never had a triple with stock bars, always superbike style, I do have a set of drag (flat) bars collecting dust. You can try these.
