head tube angle is shallower
top tube length is slightly shorter
seat tube angle is also shallower
most fakes do not have a coaster hanger, although mine does
most fakes do not have rear drop out knurling, again, mine does tho
the bend on the top of the forks from the front is much rounder, real haro forks are just curved, if that make sense
then there is the all singing all dancing serial number, not always a deffinate sign as any fook wit can stamp a frame.
then theres the chrome, i think gen 1 chrome is pretty good as far as old school bikes go, the fakes seem to have thinner, 'less bright' chrome.
some fakes do not have the machined head tube...haros do

give me a while there must be something else.

They are old school re-pops Paul, there`s not any one doing them at the moment (I think) these are original copies  :LolLolLolLol:

You guys are a hidden gem of info,I was just wondering if they were actually better than the originals are far as quality goes,everything gets punted to the far east to get made now but sometimes quality can go up and price comes down....... :daumenhoch:
