Kuwahara ET
« on: October 07, 2005, 12:22 PM »
I have decided that the next bike I wish to restore/build will be a Kuwahara ET. Could someone give me some info on one of these as I know nothing about them??? What is the model of the frame or is it just known as the 'ET' Kuwahara? If it is a standard Kuwahara type frame, could I not just get hold of one and paint it in the appropriate colours? Sorry to be so vague but all I know is that I have taken a fancy to this after seeing the one in the museum. I think they fetch silly money but am prepared to wait and see what comes up. Cheers lads!!!! :D

There are a number of different models depending on available moolah at thetime.

Have a look on jamies site it has got a good model history section.

I have one, but one of the seat stays is bent.  Don't see why it can't be repaired tho.

They are based on the Ku 2.5 and came in 2 different types see below (same frame just different spec).






And here's my beauty - absolutely right and correct spec to the original (except the tyres) and all NOS bits

Hope you got deep pockets!!

Can I just piggy-back on this thread and ask if anyone knows where I can get repro decals for this bike?  (or  a copy of the artwork)?

Thanking you in anticipation guys!  :)
