4 Holes = Cycle Pro forks, landing gear came out in 81.

Cycle Pro are the correct fork for an early Ripper or Quad

Not sure mate, I think it was only the early SE Landing Gear that had no holes.

I would keep that bike just the way it is...  That's 100% BMX History, a very cool find

[Bob_Acid]

You lucky bast'. Excellent find a very early PK. If you take those decals off we may have to kill you though 

[muddstud]

cheers mate i bought it from a shop califorina he had it on his wall for years his mate raced it in 79-80 he has given me brand new decalls same colour  and i was going to strip and start again but dont think i dare now are the forks ok that are on the bike and what would you recomend i do with her and thanks to everybody for your help i have only just just found my love for bmx again and this site cant belive how many of you are still into it and it rocks this is my second bike  and the second time i have had one . I had one in my youth and left it at my dads as you do and last year when i went to get her out of retirment much to my disbelief and horror he had skipped it along with my brothers hutch pro star  i could have killed the old slaphead with the kungfu chop from hell bless him the old retard so i have it all to do again and i cant wait its giving me a right buzz so if anyone has a prostar for sale please give me a bell 

[Waxintaxin]

That is a lovely set mate , proper history , early pre se made forks all original decals , hmmmm for me i would keep that as is , however if it was my first bike to get back into it , I know i would be sorely tempted to restore it

so think on this

i , and many others on here would give you a fully restored ripper for it and i would proberbly offer other parts and or cash for it

its a rare beast espesh like that , in lovely lovely original survivor condition

whatever you do , enjoy restoring it , its a buet

if i was going to build it , i would try for used parts to keep it fully looking like a survivor

lovely find and lovely to see that these things are still out there
