Interested in seeing the end result now

Definately do it your way buddy. Haro's and Haro replica builds have been done to death and when another pops up, for me anyway, it's "just another Haro build". Thats why I done my Haro the way I did.

My latest build is out there and built how I imagine a teen would have done back then, and myself

It's a classic Lee no doubt, when did he start to use these reflective jobbies as i've seen some bikes with them on
?

Hey it's your build but would've looked far cooler with the originals left on it

Looks nice that.

How do the frog decals compare to the original ones in terms of colour ?

I'm no expert but honestly mate they are spot on & I wouldn't have known the difference, the colour reproduction is very good.It needs to be as Frog are bloody expensive, but you do get extra decals. the main tube decal went on first time no worries & easier than any other i've done so far, but that might be because they are like a foil based decal. The only slight difference i seem to remember is the tiny (TM) letters in the main tube are a slightly heavier type face (maybe its some kind of bleed) but it's so minor you wont se it..

The one thing i completely meant to do & then forgot to

was take a picture of them next to the originals but i bet someone has done that already. Saying that I would inagine any older decals would have some UV fade by now.

In the kit i got:

1 main tube decal
1 head tube decal
5 disk decals, giving you the option to sticker up the forks plus the seat post tube an then 2 extra I guess for a straight & Layback post i guess.

They also threw in 3-4 other haro stickers FOC.

I have got to sat i waited 2 weeks before contacting them & I got a snotty email saying how far thew are away from the uk & it had only been 2 weeks plus they had to print some. S I guess they are selling stuff that they dont actually have in stock as after i emailed them they got on it messaged me nack & I had them in 2 working days

Funny thing is i'd had tyres sent from Australia & a seat from the USA sent over in the time it took these to arrive from France!!! I guess you just need to keep on top of your order but i couldn't be happier & the bike looks transformed.

OK well in that case you I'm guessing that woudn't take your fella (Up Satan's Alley) using the same grease you use on you bike ! I'd assume you'd go with some premium lube

Ask Spen he seems to know a lot about lube

That's really nice, great job. If you would like an accurate set of repro decals, let me know. I have a couple of sets left from the anniversary freestyler project that were produced from a NOS Set. I can let them go for a reasonable cost.

I'm sure DC did make green MX1000's..

Thanks Dom, I'm good but Kingfunky might want them (it's already soaking up my all of funds as it is)
