Thanks dudes!

Hey Joe what color frame you have? Choosing the frame color is the hardest.

And Stevo I totally understand you wanting to build a kuwi with jap parts,
but...
think about it.
Have you ever seen a pro or some amateur die hard bmx freak riding a factory spec bike?
No.
This is what I think is the cool thing about building a bike,
you can start with your favorite frame and add all your favorite trick parts...
To make it that race machine you've probably wanted, thinking your some pro racer 8)

Thats what I thought when I came across stuff like this on researching KZ-1's:





This guy bike was having all his favorite parts on his bike.
So why shouldn't I?

Much more exciting then factory specs, no?

Mines White n gold at the mo mate but they may well change to red and gold very soon (if I ever get a chance to get it repainted that is)  :LolLolLolLol:

And yep factory specs are very nice indeed but like when we were all smaller kids it was about customising to your own requirements
And tastes  :daumenhoch:

Great build,   :coolsmiley:

When we were kids we often aspired to have not necessarily the best but the 'in' parts, usually these were the parts recommended by the magazines who were no doubt influenced by the manufacturers and distributors, here we are 25-30 years later and as big kids we're still nearly as bad as we hunt down the 'in' parts which are not necessarily the best but the most pleasing to the eye or just the rarest.

Bit of individuality does no harm at all   :daumenhoch:
