Hey guys.
As you probably know I'm a DB kinda guy,so when I saw this I sorta freaked.I never knew they made their own headsets,have any of you guys seen one before,I mean are they somewhat common or totally new to you too?
The guy wants about $80 for it,so with S&H to me from there it'll probably be around $100.
I don't remember seeing one on the bay before,the Kuwi builds I've seen usually have a Hatta or Tange on them so this was weird to me.

Also in the middle pic there appears to be some sort of writing/embossing on the upper cup around the edge,it's too uniform to be wrench marks.

Ken,

They do come up now and then. I think they may have been for the road bikes rather than the BMX applications. As you say they did typically spec Hatta.

yep, ive seen them advertised on the bay several times.

nice little item, but advertised as mtb gear, like the brake cables.

Thanks guys.

It figures.........thought I found a diamond in the rough.

I guess that explains why I never saw one on a BMX before.
