Post subject: | My KH100 dilemma... |
I've been trying to track down my first motorcycle, a 75(?) KH100. I haven't had much luck finding mine(if it still even exists). But, I just came across another one for sale semi-locally. It's got low miles, is in very good shape, and most importantly, has a title. Asking price is $700, I can probably pick it up for $650 if I wave a fist full of dollars at the guy. I'm really torn. On the one hand, it's very similar to the one I used to have. On the other hand, it's not mine. It would definitely be a "just to have," not a "ride regularly" bike, and it's really to nice to make into an exact replica of my old bike(mine was in good shape, but had been repainted numerous times). I can't decide if I should buy it or not... ![]() |

Get it. They are far and in between, and usually over a grand...... |

I would say get it as well and then still keep a lookout for your old bike. |

I borrowed my Dad's jeep and motorcycle trailer and went to look at it, a two hour drive. I knew once I saw it that I'd be hauling it home, didn't even need to ride it to make the choice(although I did, and it was a blast ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Super clean, inside and out, and I haven't gone through and cleaned anything yet. ![]() Under 3,600 miles ![]() ![]() Original tool kit, complete with original Kawasaki bag ![]() Original tires front and rear, still soft with lots of tread on them ![]() My other bike is a '77 H-D FL, a big heavy bike. I think of the H1 as a small bike. Next to the H1, the KH100 is just tiny ![]() ![]() ![]() I said earlier that I'd leave it stock. I should amend that to "mostly stock." As with all of my vehicles, this one gets the requisite Autobot symbol ![]() ![]() |

Got my parts in and installed, waiting for my sealer to set. The piston looks a little scuffed, but not to bad. Does anyone know if '75 is late enough to have a metal rotary valve, or does it still have the fiber valve? If it's fiber, is a metal valve a direct swap? |

My 75 G7T has the fiber rotary valve, if you want to change form fiber to steel you also has to change the valve cover as the steel valve is much thinner. ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
