1983 Kuwi Laserlite
« on: October 08, 2011, 08:04 AM »
I stuck this in for BOTM a while ago but never got round to making a proper thread about it.

I collected most of the parts for this by accident while mainly working on my Supergoose, I realized I pretty much had a full bike so I got the last bits I needed and bolted it all together!  ;)

I picked up the shirt from Malaysia a year or so ago and got Takashi Kuwahara to sign it when I met him last year.  :daumenhoch:

Nice, unusual to see a pair of VC8's on a Kuwie but a good choice just not sure about the v-bar pad on them  :daumenhoch:

Modified to correct bad spelling LOL!

That's a mad looking laserlite!!!

Fair  play to you for going off piste and making it your own.

If I had to be critical, which is hard, because it's so custom, I'd day them bars want ditching and somethin more kiwi sticking on.

Bonkers bike, in a good way :daumenhoch:

Tried for ages to find Kuwi Laser bars but in the end went for the mix and match thing, agree that the normal Kuwi pads look better! ;)

Cheers JT, I knew someone would pick up on the bars, they look a bit odd but yep sort of worked in a bonkers kind of way!  :daumenhoch:

speak to Jtsmooth..

he has some generic bars that are near on damn it identical to laserbars.

20 quid a set, and they are bang on.

have a 3rd laserlite in the cellar that needs attention, but once done will be wearing a set.
