1979 Kuwahara KE-1
1979 Kuwahara KE-1
Clean OG survivor 1st Japanese bmx( (sold to canada)
This BMX was in a buddy's garage since 81, when i saved it from the trash, all i had to do is find a tire. Found the same model different color, sent pictures to Kuwahara and to Jaime (http://www.dreamgate.ne.jp/kuwahara/) the KUWI experts they confirm the year, and model, proud to be some of the few KE-1, will add parts list and serial # 79 12 00244
KIWI FRAME AND FORK
RELINE V BARS
SUN-TOUR STEM, RIMS, SEAT CLAMP, CRANKS 170 AND SPROCKET 44.
KKT LIGHTNING PEDALS
OGK GRIPS JAPAN NOS
MX DIA COMP REAR BRAKES AND BRAKE LEVER
BLUE SEAT JUST SAYS JAPAN 05 78
only thing that not OG on bike grips,(era correct) put a lay back seat-post from Porkchopbmx.com to be able to ride it still got the OG post, and looks like the left side crank are was replaced. fun bike goes good on the Datsun truck, keeping Japan oldschool.

Re: 1979 Kuwahara KE-1
So I have the same bike with a blue frame. My bike has gold rims and blue hubs and blue spokes. I have a question for you. It looks like you have the wide flange hub in the front and low in the back as I do too. My hubs are not Suntour as listed in the parts break down on the vintage Kuwahara website. Instead they are Sunshine with a date code showing 1979. My question is what brand are your hubs?
