Indeed I can see you are passionate about it, I can appreciate that. Despite the passion, I'm sorry to say again though my "business dealings" are something you have not experienced. As for my offerings, yes that is something you can and have commented on and your point is clearly made there. I totally get where you are and will try to keep it in mind.

I see and understand your point of view, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that. To say I am lacking in ethics is out of order, you don't know me or my history. Disagreeing is one thing, nothing wrong with that but to imply someone lacks ethics simply because they do not agree with you is unreasonable. I have used no such insults towards you. and whats the comment "But your still whack and I'll let everyone that crosses my path to know it." Whats that all about? Is this kind of language really necessary to make your point. I feel I understand your point quite clearly without the inaccurate insults.

Look closer. The makers in here in Japan are making their own stuff just as before, not copies, just their own stuff. I will not sell Japanese design copies made in China (why would I). By all means moan about it but get your facts right. I know my facts. They're made by the original manufacturer. I just dont get why you are so enthusiastic about getting these parts made. Sure its the right of the original manufacturers to remake their original designs. I dont get why though. And I don't give a shit about any potential devaluing of my Kuwahara cruiser bars, in case anyone was wondering why I was commenting. Its like you've sold out. Porkchop Sushi perhaps. I hear you. But I don't think I am over enthused or negative on the subject and I do sell their stuff on my site, but I live here and buy whats available. The companies choose to make them. I like the porkchop sushi idea though, could be a new dish

I'll be sure to make it clear to Kashima and MKS that their own product is FAKE because you say so. I am sure they will halt production right away.

So very sorry Jim, god bless

me neither, never seen one in a mag. I remembered this thread so just thought I'd report it as I just came across it

Better late than never. This was on Howies EB website (I added the Kuwahara logo at the top). I have one of these and the 5 inch head tube, more well known one

Love Supergooses (supergeese). Thats really cool, nice one. I like the way the bike stands up on its own as if by magic!

I don't have a real one but if I did it would look like this

I have 2 NOS Takagi with the length/thread etc stampings BMX Plus August 1981 (Top right shows the MX ones with length/thread)

ah, thats a beauty, been waiting to see that one. Looks awesome in black and chrome, love that look.

That's very interesting. Can you still get those silver and black HKK chains? yep, they still sell them.

Aaron, wow just saw this! What an awesome ride - absolutely stunning. It makes me want to go and put chrome 7x's on mine now! Work of art.

Here's an interesting nugget of information. I had a chat with a guy from Izumi here in Japan (I was hassling them to make black and silver) he eventually told me that HKK chains are made in the Izumi factory and suggested I use those. I eventually bought some black and silver HKKs. (but the black links are on the inside as opposed to the OS Izumis where the silver links are on the inside).
