Kuwahara Laserlite almost done!

The first bike I tried to bring back to life was my Kuwi Laserlite...she's in My Bikes now...

But I've been seeking out all the stock parts for a year, and I'm down to the tires...(let me know if you have any IRCs...!)

Here she is as of now...even the stock grips...decal for the top tube replicated...400s..Elina Turbo!

I commandeered a garage, put up some background paper and lights, and. . . sigh...should have taken notes the first time I shot My Bikes...couldn't get the formula the same, and I was WAY hung over, lol...

The seat is fine, as is the whole bike!   Think theyre meaning adjusting it from the limp to slightly arroused position..   smile
Each to there own of course, certainly wouldnt complain having it in my fleet..

Agreed, 3/4 view most likely exagerate's thing too..   I know theres one of these hidden away somewhere local to me that was purchased brand new, raced for 6 months and then stashed away..    im sure it would have been carefully stored and not used since but not having any luck locating it!    ssshhhh though, because thats one of my secret projects...  lol
