I have the 1987 Magician Ex that I bought new in the Blue/White combo. There was a gray/pink one like you built in the store that day. Overall, a great bike. I did crack the seat stay eventually, but aside from that the frame and fork lasted through years of abuse. You did some nice upgrades from stock – the Dia Compe brakes are way better than the Lee Chi originals.
I love the look of that frame. I had a lower end green Kuwahara when I was in 5th or 6th grade. I loved it. My favorite bike I ever owned. I was heart broken when it got stolen. I was not smart and had a cheap bike lock. Cool ride. Nice job.
That is one Bad Ass Ride Color scheme is on point You ever consider putting Nickels in the grip ends like back in the day Smooth Just Smooth ๐๐๐คฉ๐คฉ
Damn it's beautiful,nice colorway! ๐ฎ

Had that exact same bike! Saved all my paper route money to get it. I had the wire wheels tho.
Best bmx ever !!

I had an Ex in blue and white back in the day. Iโm trying to find one again. Itโs proving to be a difficult task.

Sehr schรถne Optik,weiter so
I have a 1987 yellow Kuwahara Magician EX. I'm too big to ride a 20" bike nowadays, so it just sits in the garage.
Clean. Real sick.

Sick build but would have put pink tires
Sick looking frame should do a old school s&m sometime
Awesome build!
Great build, looks a beauty. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐
I remember putting these together at the shop back in the 80s, we had so many Kuwaharas
Did you grease any of the (head set,bb.)bearings? Nice bike.
I've been thinking about getting one of the newschool repop magician frames, this has convinced me to do it
Beautiful ๐คฉ ๐๐ป
