Title: 1986 Kuwahara Bravo KT Freestyler
Post by: Darren KAP on January 14, 2012, 04:53 PM: I got this from the States last summer , it came with all the factory fitted Kuwahara components so that was a bonus :)
after getting over the kicking the customs gave me i found i'd lost the buzz for it as it was , so i just put it to one side for another time , I knew one thing was that i wasn't going to sell it any time soon . Some time later much later :LolLolLolLol: i had the frame powder coated white along with the Kuwahara freestyle bars and Kuwahara seat post , happy times again well not for long as i couldn't make my mind up on what colour to go with the white , yes i shelved it again ::) well here it is , this has got to be my longest rebuild ::)
