Elliot's Kuwahara not ET's

(1/8) > >>

jimwise68:
I have almost finished my restoration of Elliots Kuwahara.\

This was gonna be rebuilt to the same as the ET Original, but I am never gonna better Jazzchimp's effort. After all it was his one that made we wanna get one.

So I have opted to try to replicate the bike from the film. So, no ET stickers, just the kuwahara ones, chunky black wall crosser tyres and no pads.

It started life as a rusty chrome KYZ:

It now looks like this:




I have set of black Dia Compe 890s, tech 2 levers, black kuwahara grips and a set of black ukais with large flange hubs to go on.
It presently has gold arayas as I want to take it out to ride tomorrow and the black ukais need re-annodising.

Loud shout goes out to Craig misfitsat for the paint job, it is fecking awesome.
Thanks to Lee Radman for brakes (when they arrive) and also to Pete Quadrophenia for the rear large flange suntour hub and finally robin (Burnaliser) who has been my partner in crime with this build. Many thanks to you all.

Hope you like it!
