Looking like this could be a beauty. Some lovely wheels there with tyres of the Mary Celeste :daumenhoch:

Its an 86, probably has a 8511 or 12 serial but the fork pegs sugest its an 86 bike and Haro produced everything early for the 86 ranges. The 85 didnt have any pegs at all. Its a beauty though..

Yes your right it's an 86,my mistake,title now changed.The finish looks better in the pic than in the flesh ,it was a close call but it has suffered bad sun fade and it has one to many scrapes for my liking.

Very nice red FST that, regret selling mine a few years ago now  :-\

That green one, did it need painting? the original paint/decals look good!

It was touch and go to re-paint or not,but believe me the finish and decals are very faded together with some deep scratches that would not t-cut out,the picture was taken after a cut and polish to see how good I could get it,if I had a fleet of mint Haro's I may well of gone the survivor route but as this is the only one I have at the moment I decided on a mint build and I am happy with the decision  :)
