Difference between Haro Sport and FST.....

[bigfatolly]

Just picked up a Haro FST which I think is an 84 as it has no platforms on the dropouts.
Am I right in saying the FST is one inch shorter than a Sport?
I also read somewhere that some FSTs left the factory decalled up as Sports?
I really did want a Sport but they are so pricy,so would it be wrong to decal it up as a Sport?
Will be painting it in the Haro blue colour

  I know nowt about Haros Rich

yep shorter tt
no platforms/inbuild srtanders on the rear of the fst until 87 I don't think
rear platforms/inbuilt standers appeared on the sports late 85

[brettypeeps]

What is the serial Number?

Brummie is spot on.

Standers on the sports appeared from May 85

It's not arrived yet but it's actually stamped up as an 86 but has no cable guides so could be an end of line 85

[brettypeeps]

If it's stamped 86 it is an 86 or 87. There are some anomalies. Do the forks have standers?

from what I gather such was the demand for the FST that some of them are actually sports,was talking to the Haro expert Jay at Mk a couple of years back and he said some of them under the powder are actually chrome,these were the ones that were designated to be sports but became FST's to meet demand.

The forks I think are later as they have cable guides and holes for the flat standers....

think my 85/6 fst wasnt full cro-mo though, main tubes? , sold my 85 sport to get that as well dick!! (in 86 btw)

I have a 86 sport painted and stickered as an FST was NOS when Brett and I built it a couple of years back after riding it, it does appear to chrome all over

My FST came with sport decals but I cant be bothered swapping them

Never bothered BITD I just stuck on whatever was cheap as you can see from my Hutch from BITD, done in bus hand rail green with Haro decals
