Cool , very cool Danny

I would definately consider doing one of these if iI didn't have a 2.5 already  :daumenhoch:

although it's not stopping you doing ALL 3 variations , respect to you bud  :daumenhoch:

I'm very interested to see which way you go with the parts spec on this baby . ::) ::) ::)

Have you been squinting at the screen watching the E.T. movie over and over and over  :LolLolLolLol:

Mark they used KZ1's in the movie  :daumenhoch:

but the E.T. Kuwahara bike they sold to the public was the KZ 2.5

not a KYZ ,,, that is another looptail Kuwahara frame with a 2 hole gusset like the KZ1's ( One large one small hole)  :daumenhoch:

plus the KYZ  were chrome  :)

i thought the kz 2.5 was the last version  of the kz1 but with differant parts that suited a bigger rider??

They used KZ-2s for the movie.  The KZ-1 had a Suntour stem and Suntour VX alloy 3 piece cranks but the KZ-2 used a Win stem and a OPC.

Ian your just the man to step up to the mark and build a Bob Haro E.T bike  :daumenhoch: for me to feast my eyes upon

If I didn't have a lot on this year and I was doing more bikes , I would definately have built one of the black to white fade KZ1 (okay KZ2's)  :daumenhoch:

put on a Ma1 jacket and a black balaclava and rode round  MK11 all weekend  :D

No really , I was
