My Sticker Collection

There are all kinds of Kuwahara stickers out there and many of them seem to be different depending on your part of the world and of course the model and year of your bike. I have built up a collection of them over the last couple of years and you can see them below. Click on the thumbnail pictures for a much larger size.

I am not really sure what kind of stickers these are. At first I thought they were from the first model (KE-1) but the letter K is a bit different than the early stickers sets. I picked these up in Australia and I believe them to be either KE-1 or early KZ stickers for the Australian market. If somebody knows for sure what these stickers are please contact me. Note the Rising Sun Mark (Big Red Dot) is much larger than the later stickers as well as the font. The fork stickers are smaller as well as the frame stickers and the the Japanese Flag mark is in front of (to the left of) the Kuwahara "K" mark instead of on the "K" mark.

Here is a complete set of LaserLite stickers. The LaserLite (and Nova) use the same Layback seat post and LaserBars and will have the rare oval Kuwahara sticker with the lightning bolt through it.

I picked these stickers up from a friend in The Netherlands. They have a little ® (Registered) mark on the down tube, head tube and seat post tube. These are the European version of Kuwahara stickers. These would be correct for a LaserLite, Nova, or Survivor.

Here is a sticker set for the LaserLite and Nova that I picked up in Canada. This particular set has the Kuwahara name in Japanese or KANJI characters for the head tube. Below you can see a close up shot of the head tube sticker.

Here is a close up shot of the head tube sticker from the above set. It says Kuwahara in Japanese or Kanji characters. Some Kuwahara bikes had these while others did not. These particular sticker sets seem to have been more popular in Canada, the UK and Australia than the USA.

To be honest I am not really sure what these stickers are. I bought these in Canada and the headtube sticker is identical to the LaserLite one. The frame sticker is in white, but the red stickers are too small to be fork stickers. Still these are of high quality and authentic for sure.

These are decorative stickers not for the frame and fork. They are highly reflective and totally old school. The top sticker is polished like a mirror, while the bottom three stickers are funky with their reflective coating.

These are not stickers. They are Iron on decals that you could iron on to your T-shirts back in those days. This is an uncut sheet I picked up a while ago. They are in nice shape but I am not sure if they still will work. The image is reversed, once ironed on it might look like this.

A Kuwahara sew on patch that was popular in the early and middle 80's. These were available in two colors of black or white and also with Japanese characters or English.

Had some free time and lined up all my stickers...sorry not for sale. Cheers!!
