I recently purchased this from a guy in Florida, the bike is in transit to the UK as we speak.

As you can see, there is going to be quite a few hours going into this

.
What have I let myself in for :}

.
Something tells me that seat post is going to be a bitch to remove :}

.
I have a KZ1 in the shed, I might have to rob some parts

.
Looks like I'm on the look out for some new wheels

.
Expecting the bike to arrive in the next 10 days. Once its here I'll get some more pictures up of the project in progress

I can do it,so can you.I've restored 3 ET bikes to almost 100% perfect with NOS parts,except I couldnt get any NOS ET seats.I still have another 3-4 more ETs to be restored.Will post them at this museum once I've completed the build.

ET needs black Ukai Speedlines. This is what I bought too from ebay yesterday.My 2nd set of NOS black Ukai Speedlines.

You were only 3 dollars short on what I was willing to go, although it cost me $150 to ship to the UK. I was watching those wheels as well :} they look nice

arokoi888 · 2012-10-22 10:56pm

USD150 shipped to the UK is considered cheap compared to the normal USD165 - USD185 to ship to Malaysia...
Wow...only USD3 short....I could have place USD808.88 for it....too bad..

Good news , the Kuwahara has landed , bad news customs have screwed me for £160 in duty :{ . Never mind it will be worth it in the end. Hopefully I can salvage most of the parts . I'm skiving from work and have to get back before the gaffer finds out :} but will have some pictures up at the weekend.

Bath time

After 24 hours were looking a little cleaner

Still not got round to getting that seat post out , whats the best thing to get rid of the oxidisation to help free it up.

Spartacus · 2012-11-10 9:51am

I've mentioned your stucked seatpost is in alu. You could use a rust buster type product.
If it's really hard stucked, you can try to leave soaking overnight.

spireite · 2012-11-10 11:24am

Thanks Spartacus, I will give it a try. I'm now in a dilemma. The frame and forks are in ok condition , obviously the paint work is 30 year old but what is considered survivor. ShouldI just give it a general clean up or fully restore

Spartacus · 2012-11-11 6:32am

I always start down the ladder on a resto project. Try to save the original paint with a paint renovator product.

If you're not satisfied with the result then step higher and repaint it. It's your bike so you decide.

This bike deserves a complete restore.

looked like it just needed new tires and tubes maybe a chain.
