Kuwahara ET

[mivvi]

I have decided that the next bike I wish to restore/build will be a Kuwahara ET. Could someone give me some info on one of these as I know nothing about them??? What is the model of the frame or is it just known as the 'ET' Kuwahara? If it is a standard Kuwahara type frame, could I not just get hold of one and paint it in the appropriate colours? Sorry to be so vague but all I know is that I have taken a fancy to this after seeing the one in the museum. I think they fetch silly money but am prepared to wait and see what comes up. Cheers lads!!!!

There are a number of different models depending on available moolah at thetime.

Have a look on jamies site it has got a good model history section.

I have one, but one of the seat stays is bent.  Don't see why it can't be repaired tho.

Check ou the bay item number 7187810804

They are based on the Ku 2.5 and came in 2 different types see below (same frame just different spec).






And here's my beauty - absolutely right and correct spec to the original (except the tyres) and all NOS bits

Hope you got deep pockets!!

[mivvi]

Hey Jazzchimp, why do I need deep pockets, it says in those ads that they are well cheap, lol. No, honestly thanks for the info, thats well handy. Frosty, am keeping an eye one that one thanks, contacted him early this morning but the bugger won't end early. Region11, give me more info on the one you have, we could have a deal, up for a full resto. Thanks all you lot for all the info so far!

Can I just piggy-back on this thread and ask if anyone knows where I can get repro decals for this bike?  (or  a copy of the artwork)?

Thanking you in anticipation guys!
