1985 KUWAHARA BRAVO

Another Old Skool bike from Gorey, Jersey C.I. We have here a 1985 lilac/white Kuwahara Bravo with lilac Master Peregrines which originally came from NC in the USA. Note the single top tube which was replaced with a double tube in later madels. As always comments are always welcomed.

Sweet bike. I have an NOS white and green I'll be posting soon. Love the Peregrines too.
That bike came packed with some really good stuff.

Does it still have the Tuff-Neck? Looks like it.

Yeah it sure does, don't suppose you have any info or articles on it as this model seems to be missed out on websites I've visited

Does anybody know where I can get decals for this model so that I can get the frame & forks powdercoated

You could prolly get them re-popped if you could get the decals off in good shape. I have the original owners manual, but it's kinda generic...not specific to the Bravo.

Just posted mine up, should be on the board in a few days.

Might try that have seen black ones for sale on ebay but not the purple ones. The Frame could do with a powdercoat so will try to get them copied then.
Look forward to seeing yours in the museum.

Sweet Kuwi ! I love the Lavender and white version ! Here a few decals I have that I may part with if you plan to rebuild the bike and keep it ?

And one of my 87 Kuwi Magician EX

and of Kris's 85 (sorry Bro but they need to see this)

Those bikes are spaztastic! I love the colour schemes. We dont get bikes like that in New Zealand. Well, not that ive seen getting around anyway. Kuwahara sure make some mint bikes!

Sweet Bravo ! That is 1 of my childhood bikes identiclly, white and lavender . Wow I would love to get 1 of those back

liljspeed · 2007-12-05 5:20pm

some of the hard to find decals,i'll take the frame&forks to my local sign co. they can scan them on the bike and touch up the bad spots.

bonze1973 · 2008-02-10 6:44am

Sweet bike.. I have the identical bike. Same dilema with the decals too. I'm going to try to get mine off and have them remade. I'll let you know...

Stymie · 2008-03-10 1:46pm

Hey that is a sweet ride! I owned the same one back in the day, but it got stolen in less than 6 months...guess we never thought of using bike locks as kids...

NOS white and green? I had one and i don't even remember how it got stolen. I miss this bike. Love it!

It's only original once, mate. I say just clean it up really well, polish the living hell out of it, and enjoy it. BTW, this version looks eerily like a LaserLite...
