Title: Confirmed Counterfeit Kuwahara Laser Post
Post by: BMX1973 on January 22, 2010, 09:27 AM
Different types of Kuwahara Laser Post..................

............could I ask my fellow BMX nerd's your opinions on these Laser Post’s, as to whether one is counterfeit, or were they made slightly different over the years? :police:

One Post has “KUWAHARA LASER-POST” stamped on the side and “MAX HT 22.2 Cr Mo JAPAN” stamped at the base.

The other Post has “CR-MO KUWAHARA LASER-POST” stamped on the side and “MINIMUM INSERTION 22.2” stamped at the base.

Any help would be appreciated. I can e-mail pictures if you pm me your e-mail address.

Many Thanks :daumenhoch:

All the posts i've had have been stamp "KUWAHARA * LASER-POST” on the side and “MAX HT 22.2 Cr Mo JAPAN or Nitto JAPAN” stamped at the base.
Not seen one with Cr-Mo before the Laserpost Stamp.

Over the years the post and bars were made at different sources so not to say it aint a genuine one. Just be wary of stuff from Malasyia, etc on ebay. They have a habit of mass copying stuff. Some of the kuwie pads i've seen over the years are shocking.

Got my money back for Counterfeit ones I bought through PayPal.  :)

Basically for everyone out there, this is the inscriptions of a real post and a fake post:

A GENUINE Post has KUWAHARA LASER-POST stamped on the side and MAX HT 22.2 Cr Mo JAPAN stamped at the base.  :)

The COUNTERFEIT  Post's that are going around at the moment have CR-MO KUWAHARA LASER-POST  stamped on the side and MINIMUM INSERTION 22.2 stamped  at the base. In addition the quality of the inscription is not that of an original.  :tickedoff: :'( >:( :(

Thank you to everyone that has contacted me over this.  :police:

I've learnt a lot about Laser Post since this post. :daumenhoch:

Them Fake Laser Post's turn up all the time so be aware radster. Exspecially when some sellers put them in a frame to cover up the CR-MO wording before Laser Post :( then try and pass them off as real.
