I think even Kuwahara forgot as they never date stamped them  ::)

You sure it's not stamped on the inside??

Over the years I have had 83 and 84 laserlites, a loopy nova and a survivor all with original laser bars and all were stamped.

The first bike I had without was an 86' bravo although I have a feeling the mk2 nova's may have had them

That's as sure as I can be from the top of my head. As with everything back then anomalies were not uncommon so could have been batches of the above with unstamped bars.

I thought Nitto made all the bars and posts for Kuwahara from 1982 onwards including Laser bars and posts but they weren't stamped with the Kuwahara branding until 1983.

Just when I thought it was ok to carry on...!!!  :-\

So Kuwi branded components were introduced in '82...?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't until late 1983 that they were starting to be stamped with the Kuwahara branding ;)
