Haro Forks - Real or Fakes ??

[snav69]

Right , after seeing wish id kept my TA 's 1984 Haro Master gen 3  , i thought i would get to the bottom of whether these forks are real or not that i have had in the shed forever and a day 
So can any Haro experts shed any light for me 







Thanks Chaps

I just had a gander and still no wiser   
It may just be the photo but i can't see any groove in the threads on those in billy's thread , prolly means mine are shite

lol me too paul am guessing yours don't have vent holes? might be worth asking mister stupple to get the old vernier calipers out and measure the dropouts (apparantley they are flimsier ie thinner on t'copies  )

[snav69]

Vent holes Pete   
Thats it , i'm going making a catapult out the things 
Just need some strong knicker elastic 

[snav69]

Just got the digital verniers out  and did some measuring 



I'm shite at photo editing , can you tell  all measurements are approx

[dj_benice]

noooo, if they have vent holes they are copies according to Rom-Bloke further on in bills thread

[snav69]

Ohhhh , i see . I'm lazy and didn't read the whole thread

If you dont need them I could do with them if you're selling

[snav69]

Aint sure what to do with them yet as i don't know what they are but the ruler has first dibble dobbles on em if i sell but you will be next in line 

[Del]

spot on 

[Rombloke]

yep they look like the real thing to me, the fakes had a rounder bend at the steerer tube than the real mccoys.....so they will do for me(not that i know feck all about haros)

Just had a look at both pairs of mine, fake and real, and neither pair have vent holes in the dropouts 

But having just measured the dropouts on the fakes with a ruler I`d say they are 2.5 mm thick, or there abouts, so yours look like the real deal 

[snav69]

Nice one 
Any idea on year or that being a bit ambitious

pre 85/6 as no holes for pegs is about all I know

Yes this is right, unles they came off a FST then they could be as late as 88, but I would say 84 or before.

& yes they look the real deal to me & can I join the que if your selling

[snav69]
