Is the stem pad not on back to front though or does it have the logo printed both sides?

Post by: oberonspacefruit on February 15, 2007, 05:10 PM: sweet. i prefer the stem pad that way as you can see what your getting when you run a plate.

what grips are those ? you got any more shots of the bike?
Title: Re: *** Kuwahara KZ-1 now complete ***
Post by: bodamus on February 15, 2007, 05:20 PM: Cheers guys. The Stem Pad is back to front your right I put it on that way just for the photo so you could see the logo.

The Grips are the original OGK'S correct ones for early Kuwahara bikes.

Thanks from bodamus ;)

Post by: macmark on February 15, 2007, 06:51 PM: I keep coming back for another look. :)

It does look spot on! I had a white KZ-1 with graphite z's as my second bmx bitd. I loved that bike sooo much. I see a few KZ-1's come up on US eBay but most of the fuggers won't ship here. Got a mate in the US that might be able to help me out now though. >:D
