Clint Miller ran Galindo handlebars. The other teamriders don't know. But I asume that Galindo didn't made the handlebars aswell for Kuwahara. I found a SR handlebar (pretty wide model) but perhaps that could be the case that Tioga OR SR made the handlebars for Kuwahara? Perhaps, could be or not?? Just want to help you see.

Jamie, what was the deal with the WIN bars? I thought they were made for Kuwahara?

WIN made bars for Kuwahara - they V-bars are the same as Redline bars.
Dunno about Laserlite bars - did WIN make those too or Tange?

The old bars on the KZ bikes are always what I thought to be redline approved....still not clear myself. I remember the little sticker on them, but I can't remember seeing WIN on there
I'm not sure about the WIN bars, some people said yes, a couple others said no. I don't really know exactly....but I have a good feeling the Laser-Bars (sorry I thought you were talking about those) were made by Tange for Kuwahara.

the v-bars that were stock on my KZ-1 had a redline approved sticker on them. It reads:
APPROVED BY
REDLINE
Cr-Mo V BAR
KUSUKI JAPAN

Great thanks for the info. Redline V bars are what I need, trying to build a Kuwahara pitbike and wanted to update with correct parts for my rider.
I have a couple of Kuwaharas now, one freestyle and one bmx but the bars are marked with nothing but a sticker that says Kuwahara, neither is a V bar though.
Now back to work, thanks for the reminder Scott. Wait you better get back to work or I will call your wife and tell her you are playing again. Careful or she will find you a part time job if you are busy enough.

For the record, Nitto made some laser bars, not sure about all though

Laser bars were made by Nitto. I'll double check but I'm pretty sure my Laser Bars Have Nitto stamped on them. I know the Laser post is 100% Nitto.

Wow, this old post came back! Cool !!
I remember hearing about Nitto, totally forgot about them....I have some pictures of my old Laser Bars which are now on my site and I don't see any Nitto stamps but they are some codes I am not sure of like "V.P" and "Z.Y." They are also stamped Laser-Bars.
Pictures here

More pictures can be found on my website, check out the MY PARTS MUSEUM section and than HANDLE BARS
So did Nitto make the Laser Bars? Perhaps even the Laser-Post? Anyway to confirm on this? Some pictures would be great!!
It's also been a while since I posted here, cheers!!

Kusuki also made bars for Diamondback. I have some. I don't think WIN and Kusuki are the same.
