Heres my 1982 Kuwahara KYZ in chrome survivor which is virtually all OG

, just a bit dusty at the moment , as far as i can see its just the tyres and maybe seatpost which are not original to the bike, interestingly the KYZ was the first bike ever to be sold with ACS Z rims as stock on them

parts list
1982 Kuwahahara KYZ frame and forks in chrome
win v bars
sugino stem
ogk 77 black grips
dia compe tech 2 levers
dia compe 890 brakes dated 02/82
elina et seat
sugino crank with snowflake sugino chain ring
rainbow label comp 3's
ACS z rims with high flange suzue hubs
rat trap pedals

heres the advert for the bike from bitd 1984 actually

the one in the advert is a bit later than my bike mines may82 i think, this ones virtually the same but without the z rims and this one doesn't have the sugino stem

1983, Not 100% sure on model as there's some confusion

think it's a KY 2, as thats whats written on its Manual

Lots of pics in the thread in OS Race section

83 Laserlite built as Summer Rider, the Laserlite was always my grail bike from back in the day so dead chuffed to have finally got my mitts on one.

Originally got this off Stu27 (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,164979.msg1649299.html#msg1649299) last year. Made a few subtle changes and additions to get her 'just so' and a little bit different from all the black and chrome builds out there (no offence!)…

Frame/Forks: Tange made KZ-83 (Oval tubes without Kuwahara stamp on the rear dropouts, has one on the rear brake bridge though)
Bars: Stamped Laserbars
Post: Stamped Laserpost
Stem - Chrome Suntour Power Stem
Grips - Yellow Oakley B2
Seat - Yellow Elina Lightning Bolt
Seat Clamp - Suntour
Brakes - NOS MX900 Caliper, NOS Tech III Lever & NOS Skyway Pro Pads (via Mr Gnarlyscoots)
Cranks: Suntour VX 170mm with Gold Suntour Chainring
Pedals: NOS Chrome MKS BM-15 (9/16") - I've still got the XC-II's she came with but memories of shin based carnage from back in the day meant they were a no-no for a rider…
Rims: Gold Araya Shiny Sides (1.75 f & r)
Hubs: Gold Suzue
Tyres: Mitsuboshi Comp III Green Label (1.50 f & r)
Pads - White Kuwahara (Cali Lite)
Plate - Uni Turbo Airdam

Here's another '83 Laserlite for your viewing pleasure! I've waited 30 odd years for one of these puppies but better late to the Kuwi party than never!

Further info, pics and a parts list can be found here:-

Thanks to everyone on Rad who has helped me out with what is my grail bike!
