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

)

Vent holes Pete

Just got the digital verniers out

and did some measuring

I'm shite at photo editing , can you tell

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

Nice one

Any idea on year or that being a bit ambitious $:-\$

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
