Post by: kuwahero on May 26, 2010, 11:11 PM: As much as I like Kuwahara's. To me this looks nasty.

Reminds me of one of them dare, Super Burners. No offense Dave :LolLolLolLol: and I took great pleasure in peeling the gold of that to make it chrome for my mate.

DTLflyKUWA is a member on here, I believe.

Post by: baldbmxer on May 27, 2010, 08:44 AM: Why wouldthey make a sickly golden Kuwahara to promote the film when its completely different to the 'ET Kuwahara'? Smells a bit fishy (sushi?) to me.

The Tioga spider on the 1pc has to be later and not original, it has those longer slots for the bolts.

Either way its a fook ugly bike! :LolLolLolLol: ............................is it one of Liverpool Stu's creations? :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: kuwahero on May 29, 2010, 06:24 AM: Doesn't have the correct forks for an ET either, legs are longer than the dropouts. The ET forks are like tange TRX forks but with round legs.
