Title: Dating a Super Kodiak by the colors.
Post by: Migra Bill on March 10, 2008, 05:18:00 PM

I have been told you can tell the year of a 70's Super K by the color of the stripe (Red, Blue). If a Super K has the gray "futurewood" with the blue stripe and blue accents - what year span are we talking about? Once we get the span figured out - any way to be more precise?

Thanx.

If I don't confuse something we are talking 1976 - and only 1976 ...

Now for the serial numbers!
What can anybody tell me about a Super K with serial starting with SK instead of KZ, but having a blue stripe and blue future wood overlays on the riser and of course blue tips?!

The 75 super kodiak had black and white glass overlays on the front of the riser with a blue stripe. The 76 super kodiak had no overlays on the front of the riser and had a blue stripe. Both were 60 inches and both were futurewood risers. Both had black glass on the limbs. Hope this helps.
