I can’t say enough about Steve and his network of talented craftsman. The attention to detail is incredible. He took a rusty H1B that had been sitting for years and turned it into a stunning example of a 70’s Kawasaki Triples. Using period correct parts an mods be built a timeless classic. Thanks!

I am not new to Kawasaki Triples vintage motorcycle. I even do a lot of full-up restorations as well, but when I saw the level of work and absolute attention to detail that Steve does, I was astounded!

I normally do full up Kawasaki triple restorations myself, but I couldn’t resist owning a masterpiece from the best builder - Steve Garraffa. I bought a purple 1975 Kawasaki H2C that Steve built and it’s been well over two years and it’s a perfect bike. Starts on the first kick runs perfect and I can’t keep the smile off my face. If you want the absolute best Kawasaki triple then it is a privilege to own one built by KAWITRIPLES.

I would like to thank you again for the incredible job you did on the nut and bolt restoration of my 1974 Kawasaki H2B 750 Triple.  The quality of work and attention to detail are impeccable, including the phenomenal paint work, engine rebuild, wiring, electronics, carburetors, exhaust system, oil system, chrome, zinc plating, NOS and reproduction parts, and correctness of assembly.  It absolutely looks factory new.

Being a beautiful show bike, most people would probably prefer to display it, but because I bought one new in 1974, I have been enjoying the heck out of riding it around town….minus the burn-outs, racing, and wheelies I used to do.  I must say it starts, runs, rides, shifts and clutches superbly….no glitches or noises and runs smooth from idle to redline. I’m totally satisfied with the Kawasaki and will highly recommend you and KawiTriples to anyone looking for top tier restoration work or a turn-key bike.

As a side note, I recently rode it to a local car show and the bike got a lot of attention and a young person driving by noticed the Kawasaki in the parking lot and drove in just to see it, as he knew of the legend but had never seen one in person.  

Thanks again for a job well done.
