Frame n forks identification please
KuwaDaz:
Evening Friends,
I'm brand new to this site, and this is my first real thread I need help with. At 43 years old, I have just bought a BMX bike to tinker with and improve. It's not brilliant but some old school parts on her. Also the frame and forks could be good if It could be identified by one of you good people out there.
I think its a Kuwahara KZ83 laserlite, but it was that long ago when I owned one I can't remember what it was like. Only the forks that were Aerodynamic and the oval tubing on the frame.
Now I have recently read that the two main frame tubes are oval on the early ones and no bottom bracket stamp i.e K stamp and totally round on the latter frames?.
Well mine has these but there could be a frame n forks with Aero dynamic oval tubing out there made by some other Manufacturer?.
I would love to know exactly what it is so I have posted some pictures to see if anyone can help identying this. Oh yes and I have the bug at the mo and purchased a beautiful Chrome Aero Reflex frame and forks to build a nice one, also some black tuff's fitted with Haro white walls nice.
Here goes :) please help ;)
Cheers Daz

Forks: I'm sure are Tange ARX (which some very early Laserlite's came with) as do some Burners.

Does the frame have a serial stamped in the bottom bracket? The rear brake bridge should be wide and flat if its a Laserlite. As Peter J says it could be a burner, with old Kuwi decals! :-\
Change the thread Topic to Kuwahara or Burner, few more Radster's will have a look.

Hi is there a serial number under the bottom bracket and does it start with T3 or T2 if it does then it's a Tange made Frame.
Forks look like Tange ARX.
