Ok gave my mate £300 for this Laserlight looks like the only things missing is the Redline 400's :'( Rear MX1000 and the XC11 pedals. I have the pedals and rear brake so thats a result but think the 400's are going to have to wait. BONUS got the OG manual for the bike :)

So i reckon a nice lil survivor build coming on  :daumenhoch:

Man, that's a bargain :shocked: :daumenhoch:
Looks like a KZ-4 but could be that it came with a Takagi 175 OPC as stock.

Proper result :daumenhoch:

Build it with a one piece crank setup it came with a one piece option in other countries.

Sweet score  :daumenhoch:

One of the ways to tell if its a later KZ-4 is if it has Kuwahara stamped on the rear brake bridge - does it?

In 84' Kuwahara brought out a Laserlite with lower end parts, to make it more affordable. That model was called the Survivor.

I think yours is a Laserlite but has had some parts changed. As it would have had Black Ukai Speedlines, not Araya's 7X like yours has and a Sugino stem, not a Suntour.

Anyway the see pic below

The powerdisc and chainring were Sugino.

i'm pretty sure the opc cranks were Sugino too and not Takagi

I've heard a few stories that some bike shops would just swap out the cranks and use parts they had to replace them.
Hard to pin down exactly what's what and how reliable the stories are tbh. A while back I found a KZ-3 with a Takagi set-up.
The seat clamp wasn't right but the rest of it looked right:
