Jaan,

I have just embarked on a K-Welded Serial Number (No Tange, No Cry) KZ-1/2 build (still to decide) and I am abso-fooking-lutely blown away by this build!  :angrysoapbox:

Lush.... Simply stunning.  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Just one observation..... the Decals don't look right for the model? Sorry if I err, but I am confused:



The only reason I am being so picky is that I have just scored the Decals pictured in the Ad for my build, and your lovely is wearing a different set!  :uglystupid2:

Oh, how my OCD messes with my BMX pleasure / bank balance!  :idiot2:

Still fooking BOTM right there!  :4_17_5:

*ps* The DBSS is ready to be built and you will LOVE it!  ;)

Hey Rich,

The decals are OG  ;)  the 1980 KZ1s used up those that were designed for the KE1, then mid 1980 Kuwahara changed their logo for printed materials (ads etc) by placing the Hinomaru above the K and slowly it filtered through to their decals in 81.

I was inspired by the ad that you've pasted in, I wasn't attempting to replicate it - there are other differences in addition to the decals.  If you're after building a replica you certainly have the right decals, you'll also want to use a MS-1000 Mini Stem and KKT Lightnings, thats if you're building to KZ-1 spec. What year is yours?

Regarding your K-welded frame set, I might be biased but IMO the K welds are superior  :daumenhoch:

Can't wait to see the DB SS  :coolsmiley:
