Sometimes it serves a good purpose to resurrect these old topics for the new members since they can probably learn something or avoid some mishaps of others. No harm done.

I like a little more information and know that it's actually doing the battery good. Got this from DD Mods, even came with free Cig lighter plug-in attachment. Has modes to work with my Son's Ninja and boats. Gives me 7 steps of information.

Kept the Vette on it all last winter, and it plugged to it again this year.

H2 ?

Kawasaki 750 2 stroke triple (1972 - 1975)


The 750cc H2 was the top of the line of three cylinders. The H2 set the standard for performance, becoming the quickest bike available with quarter mile times of 12.28 seconds @ 110.29 mph. The H2 once again proved that Kawasaki was at the top of the performance market. It was sometimes called the "Widowmaker".

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1972-k...750-mach-4.htm

The Kawasaki H2 Mach IV was a 750 cc 3-cylinder two-stroke production motorcycle manufactured by the Kawasaki. The H2 was a Kawasaki triple sold from 1972 through 1975.

A standard, factory produced H2 was able to travel a quarter mile from a standing start in 12.0 seconds.[1] In its day, the motorcycle became the undisputed "king of the streets" beating legendary muscle cars of the era such as the Plymouth Barracuda. It handled better than the notoriously dangerous Mach lll, nicknamed the "Widow maker", that preceded it. By the standards of its time, its handling was sufficient to make it the production bike to beat on the race track. Nonetheless, its tendency to pull wheelies and a less than solid feel through high speed corners led to adjustments to the design as it evolved. Which brought about the nickname "The Wheelie King". More than any other model, it created Kawasaki's reputation for building "scarily fast, good-looking, no holds barred motorcycles" and led to a further decline in the market place of the British motorcycle industry.

Eh, probably not. More likely an H2 Hummer.

The Kawa H2 had a battery, but not electric start IIRC...a battery tender wasn't really required.
