What effect would it have on the industry if KB didn't exist? - virtually nothing. That's about how much it's worth to the industry.

As a communications and referral tool it has merit. But all that's doing is robbing peter to pay paul as far as overall industry effect is concerned.

As a large group of purchasers of motorcycling products, Kiwibiker members could have a substantial impact on providers of substandard goods and bad service by spreading the word on who has provided a substandard product/service leading to certain stores being boycotted.
Kiwibiker, by providing information on which retailers/mechanics etc. provide excellent service could also cause an increase in business for those who are providing the best products/services at the best prices.
This eventually could have a long term positive effect on the quality of both goods and services that all bikers receive, and the larger the membership (and therefore the larger the buying power) of kiwibiker gets, the faster the effects will be seen. Word of mouth has always been effective, but with internet forums focusing on a small industry (ie motorcycling in NZ), the effects can be magnified hugely.

People have seriously bagged every bike shop I've been in on KB.
They trade on undaunted.
