Title: -----KZ-4 Kuwahara Laserlite-----
Post by: Twesnik on November 26, 2012, 07:15 PM: Actually done something!
ItÂ´s has been a while.....
With a slightly diff,aproach.
OG Chrome/Decals Kuwahara LaserliteÂ´83 stamped KZ-4 &Â´83 Forks.
Stamped Laserbar & Laserpost.
Working on other wheelset tho......
Might let them go,incl,the Mitsuboshi Yellow Label CompIII 20X1.75.
Cause these Label wereÂ´nt fabricated anymore,inÂ´84!
:shocked:
