not sure, but you'd had that S1 for far too long.

Think you should sell it to me now.

Even if it's got Cali Lite on it still could be repo ones. Are they in original Cali lite bags?

The original Kuwi made ones had Osaka Japan on them.

Maybe old copies or someone has antiqued the bags  :2funny:

Gave a set of original pads to the man and he couldn't tell the difference between his and the originals

I've got an original in the for sale section. Probably the best way to tell is if you got a close up pic of the stitching on the inside I could compare. Although I presume they are sealed in bags?  :-\

I've just had a look at the yellow V bar pad I have and it has Osaka Japan on it. It did come in an original Kuwi bag til I lost it.  :-\

Yeah the bags are sealed and very worn looking and aged, there looks like little holes from staples at the top.
