1980 KH100EL

Post by Ticketyman »

I've just bought one for the missus to learn to ride on, just wondering if anyone has got any pics of this model in original condition. Also feel free to offer any and all info on this little sweetheart. Cheers.

I had an '85 EX that's now one of S&W's bucket racers. It was fun to ride, but in the end I CBF messing about with 2smokes.

Beware the difference between 5 spoke and 7 spoke wheels - brakes, sprockets and bearings.
Engines same same for all other 100's with slight differences. Bore and stroke remain the same.

There is one here what belong to you pair of clowns. :twisted: Stace left it behind when collecting everything else.
I have 2 KH125 tanks that will fit but are of a different style but neither are red and neither are in good condition.
Whats wrong with the one you have?
