1983 Kuwahara KYZ - BMXmuseum.com

This was my first real BMX, which I got in 83. After seeing ET, I had to have a Kuwa. When I left home, it was lent to my cousin to get him to and from school. The bike was stored in my parents' garage in the 90s when he left school. I pulled it out in 2005 for restoration. UPDATE: My KYZ will soon be an ET with gold parts (similar to the ET-1 in the ad with the boy looking out of the window). The frame is being sprayed and I'll post pics as soon as the whole job is done. I'm making the ET the way I always wished it should've been, in 1983. I didn't like the original ET frame, which I thought felt clumsy and heavy, so I chose the KYZ due to the lighter frame and better racing components. But I remember always wishing my bike looked like an ET... just like Elliot's. Time to do something about that.
