1981 Kuwahara KZ-1

One of the most popular Kuwahara racers made.



Picked up an old friends collection. Both Kuwaharas were his bikes from BiTD. He was always a Kuwahara fan and he took great care of his bikes.
Swapped out all of the 'incorrect' parts for better looking parts and was able to maintain his red/blue theme.
