Title: 1985 Kuwahara Bravo
Post by: shivadread on March 14, 2007, 10:30 AM

Hi

Just purchased a 1985 Kuwahara Bravo in White and Lilac from USA, the person who sent it to me didn't pack it well so the decals have been scratched to f*ck.

So now i'm looking for some lilac/purple kuwahara decals which I have had no luck locating on e-bay.

The only option I have is to take the original ones off and go to a sign printer to see if they can reproduce them.  Has anybody ever done this and if so does it cost much

about 25-40 quid depending on quality and the amount of colours.

I may be able to help. I have some original Kuwi decals in the purple. They are the same as the colours shown below, but the sheet I have has more decals on it. Let me know if interested and I'll get a pic of the sheet I have for you.

By the way are Bravo's quite rare as you don't see many on the Old School BMX site, I brought mine for about £200 which includes £100 postage from the States

Looks a tidy bike.

The decals I have may be the exact ones you are looking for.

If they are then I will get the bike powdercoated and put the new decals on. 

Just let us know how much you want for them
