BHPian v12<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Here is a humble & sympathetic restoration of my 88 KB100 RTZ. This is the first iteration with a new cherry red tank \/ panels. The bike is originally wine red, but just thought of playing it with cherry red and I love it. The new tank has a lot of leaks and paint defects, so will be fixing and repainting my old tank.<\/p>\n Although my original plan was to keep the bike with the original decals, I am more biased toward the decals from the KB 4S Champion. What are your thoughts?<\/p>\n Will be starting a new thread soon to share updates and costs and the story behind this purchase.<\/p>\n The original color<\/p>\n The cherry red color<\/p>\n KB 4S Champion<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian condor<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n Please keep the original decal style. The decals from the 4S will remove the aura of the KB100. I have a ’87 and am glad that @SChakravarthy managed to put the same style of decals when he restored it. Though the decal doesn’t have the golden border on the colors, it still looks like the original KB100.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian wangdu<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n Oh dear! The pictures in this thread time travelled me to that era and made it alive.<\/p>\n I can see it transform into a Cheetah, my ’89 model KB, this color only and on the way to and fro school racing my friends on their IND-Suzuki & RX-100.<\/p>\n Please for the love of 80s kids do not change the decal, sir! It just won’t look and make us reminisce about the iconic KB. Please!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
