Kuwahara ID ??

[dirtskirt]

Hi all , Im not that knowledged up Kuwie's but i picked up this one yesterday and done some searching around last night to try and id it -


 










I was leaning towards an 84 Nova , then onto a Bravo ? Now it seems more like a 86 Nova Titleist -
Like this one -
 

Im just gonna get some paint stripper on the BB to see what stamping there is ? at the moment i can only see some faint numbers under the spray - 86 81 86

Will post more pics in a mo

Ok , just stripped back the white spray paint -



Serial - 86081636

Does,nt look to be any other markings on it ,

Will check the steerer tube if needed tho .

Was about to ask is it original paint, then seen your 2nd post.

Did the paint stripper not touch the red paint underneath?   

A Kuwi expert on here may be able to confirm what Kuwaharas came with red paint in 86. 

This link I put on retrodans thread but does not have info on freestylers but will do in the future.

nice find and yep  i would have had that if you hadn`t bought it , will be a great resto as a lot of original bits on it

The white spray came off really easy and left the orig underneath all ok,

Difficult to tell from that pic but is the og paintwork red or pink?

[andypatt444]

August 86 i'd say. Could be a Nova or Laserlite.

[dirtskirt]

Yeah more flourescent pink id say ,

 86 Laserlite 3000 here - http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=31655

And an 86 Nova Titleist here - http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=584550

Good shout it's a Titleist. All stock parts by the look of it as well
I think production had moved from Japan to Taiwan at this stage.
It could well be the same frame as the Laserlite 3000.

[dirtskirt]

Yeah thats what i thought , same frame different parts

Possible trades for british Race survivor ,completes or F&f etc..

I like the kuwie in completely white. Like a stallion.
