Classic Fuji BMX Parts information:


NITTO handle bars (Feather Professional) - It's unclear what the model number is for the  "NITTO BMX Alloy" bars listed on the specs for the 1979 Fuji Feather Professional. In the other years they are listed as NITTO BMX B702 Alloy. However, on the "Feather" bikes they are listed as NITTO B702 Steel. I find it highly unlikely the same model number would be used for steel and alloy bars. So, I suspect they were incorrectly marked on the specifications for the Feather Professionals.

Below are images of the stock bars that came off a 1980 Feather Professional. There are no brand or model stamps on them. They are quite unusual in shape, they have a more rounded character throughout the overall "U" part of the bars and have a relatively flat rake for the handles. Though they look similar to the more common Race Inc and NITTO B701's, they are in fact quite different when put side by side.

 

Fujita Seamless Leather BMX Saddle (Feather Professional) - The Fujita saddle company is quite well known in the road bike market but little known in the BMX area. The saddle is nicely made with a plastic shelf covered in smooth, seamless leather.

MKS BM-1 and BM-5 Pedals (Feather Professional) - The Feather Professionals came with MKS BM-1 pedals and the Feathers came with BM-5. The BM-1's are in appearance and reality a better built pedal. The weight is essentially the same, however the BM-1's have a more heavy duty construction to them. BM-1's seem to be more scarce where as (currently) the BM-5s can be found any given day on ebay etc. Below the BM-1s are on the left and top of the pictures, the BM-5's on the right.


 

 

OGK MACH Grips Model# 68-15R - These were not very common among other BMX brands, but were standard issue on the Feather Professionals and Feathers. They feel pretty soft and don't seem like they would last very long. Today you can find them in black much easier than the yellow seen below; I'm yet to see them in any other color.
