      Muthu sir, You must be knowing that in the early 90's, a gentleman from Ludhiana/ Punjab used to produce aftermarket performance barrels with reeds and a radial fin head for the YEZDI. It also had the RD's 28mm carb. They used to look cool!
      You talking about Somendar Singh in mysore ?

        Just writing some of the dimensions of a KB 100,on to the left of the tab column ( these can be considered the LOOK DECIDER of any bike) & KH 100's dmensions to the right of the TAb !!!
        Wheel base : Now of KH100
        1,260mm ..................................... 1150mm
        Ground Clearance :
        160mm .........................................150mm
        Ignition :
        Electronic
        Dry Weight:
        115kg ...........................................84.5 Kgms
        Fuel tank Capacity :
        9.3litres......................................... 7.9 liters

        Battery :
        12V
        F/R suspension :
        125mmtelescope
        R/R suspension :
        5 step adjustable .....................................Fixed
        Max Speed :
        90kph............................................. ............105 kmph
        Overall length
        2000 + mm ... ............ ... ..........................1835 mm( nearly 8
        inches smaller)

        power to weight to ratio:
        0.028 hp/kg (approx) .......................................0.1245 hp/kg
        Hope now you can bring down the size & shape of KH 100 compared to KB
        100 !!
        I had said KB100 is the offshoot of KH100 and not the exact same.The KB service station manual says it's top speed is 95 kms/hr,1940mm overall length,11 liters fuel capacity,109Kg curb weight,seat height 780mm,C.G.height 508mm,Max H.P 10.5PS/8000RPM,Max torque 1.06 kgm/7000RPM,etc., The KB 100 is an improvement on KH 100 like the P200 is the improvement on P180.

          Hello Doc,
          All what you are talking is right, but he was from Mysore ( not from Punjab), as said by sandeep k Ram, he is Mr.Sominder Singh.
          Many of such machines was used on Gliders rather then in bikes by late Mr.karivardhan( coimbatore)
          still one of our Xbhpian ( Balajee from salem, tries to get one from Mr.Sominder singh) dunno about the availabilty status of those Alloy barrels with Mr.SS

          ps: To know more about Mr.Sominder singh, just check out for .." Sominder Singh - the groovy subject!!" @ google

            • Its time for Pop time Quiz !!

              Had plans to shift some of my UN (???) restored two wheelees to my uncle's Textile stockyard ,nearly 25 kms from my garage..as a first shot..shifted 6.5 machines this morning....here are the pics>>>


              ........ & here is the 0.5

              Can you guess the machines??? RIGHT
              Hope tomorrow we'll ride or carry another four of them to the WAITING Room....so that at least they will be safe from rain & sun till I pick up one by one for restoration.
              Quiz clue: One of the Scoot is not mine,but I have one of its kind

                                By seeing this thread and your collection of beauties and the amount of pure passion and skill u have put to restore these bikes make my hair stand up and urge me to take care of my baby even better than i do now .

                                Helmets off to you sir , may be some day when i come to Coimbatore i will make a pilgrimage to your your place to see your beauties .
