Anytime Kb100! Im glad to help you guys out. So im buying the crankshaft for you and will look out for other list of things you sent me. Seeing all those OE spares got me very excited but i had to hide it from the dealer to keep the prices low!

I am really enjoying going thru the restoration threads....must say I have had the pleasure of ridding this bike and have to add that this had one of the best suspension and was a comfy bike for long distances. Congrats and enjoy. I would like to add that its wonderful to see fellow members advice and help for other members. Keep it up.

Got more KB100 OE stuff today.

1. New O.E crankshaft.

2. OE Rotary valves.

3. Rotary valve collar.

4. Sealing plugs.

5. Shifter forks.

I am told all of the items have become very rare so its kind of a treasure find.

Greetings to everyone on this forum. Hats off to everyone restoring their KBs and those helping and encouraging them . The content that I've found on this site is invaluable . This is my story .

My father a young IAF officer , approached his father for some money to buy a motorcycle. Probably concerned about his son's safety , my grandfather disagreed . Not one to be deterred , my father rode up to our ancestral home on his gleaming new KB100 RTZ . The grace of auto loans ! I was born in 1993 and ever since I can remember this has been my favorite toy . My father would.take me for a joyride everyday during his lunch break . I would discover the world sitting on the fuel tank , with my legs on the leg guard .Later we purchased a Maruti 800 , but the pilgrimage to church and school continued to be done on the faithful KB . We had now purchased a Kinetic for my mother and it was becoming difficult to keep three vehicles . So my father sold off the KB when we were we posted off from Wellington , to our mechanic .

But this machine meant a lot to me . I felt the same pain in my heart that I get when I say bye to my cousins who've come on vacation from abroad. I'm interested in psychology and in a book written by Dr. Eric Berne I read that everyone's life follows a script that we determine at unconsciously . I gather that my script leads me to be a creator . It's not surprising that I took up Automobile Engineering as my subject of study .

I'll be embarking on a KB 100 restoration , to pay homage to the machine that started my Passion for automobiles . And who knows maybe , I'll end up surprising my father just as he had once surprised his father !

Thankyou kb100 : ) I'm from Kerala . At the moment i'm studying in Chennai .

I'm still in my first year, so my technical knowledge is zero . I've borrowed some books from the library to increase my knowledge in this regard , but i'll still be relying on the collective knowledge and experience of the members on this forum .

The KB is lying with my maternal grandparents in Ernakulam . I can't bring her to Chennai as two wheelers are not allowed in my hostel . I'll only be moving out after this sem , so i'll be collecting parts till then . I've PMed you my no and email ID , so please send out a word if you come across something interesting.

Thank you !
