Hutch grip question!

[steve Beech TA]

As many of you know i have tried to do a early 83 Hutch Pro Star. Still got the proper crank set up to get etc,




I have some minty hutch grips on it at the mo but i believe this may not be correct (a shame as i like them) I think it should have Oakley's on it.

Firstly, Can any one tell me if this is right or is it a one of hutch ad i saw somewere, it was defo a hutch ad though, a complete bike

Secondly What type of Oakley's should they be.

Thirdly, should i bother as i do like the hutch grips and they cost me silly money . Buy to me worth every penny as rightly so or not (and i expect to get a slating for saying this) a hutch build ain't a hutch build unless its got them on.

Also i have seen the complete bike with a different seat on it prob the same ad as previously mentioned, and it was not a kashi, does anyone know what it may have been.
or as previously said dont worry. i could then concentrate on the cranks then.

Thanks for your help all

cheers steve

Leave the HUTCH grips on they look so good it hurts

Steve worry about getting them Nos pads posted on here, although your Hutch is Minty mint no bike is complete with out the pad set imo. And cranks, didnt Hutch riders BITD race Profiles as well as Aero speeds.

very nice leave the grips on mate,it looks rather naked without the pads also as DB250F  said , however i feel the tyres let the whole build down loose the whitewalls(them are freestyle tyres on that ) , i think they look out of place some comps would look way better, also the arayas take off the big blue decals and add some small red and bllue and chrome decals, besides that its spot on and im jelous 

[steve Beech TA]

Yep, I think there the one's that i am after , what pad set i aint seen them  

[steve Beech TA]

Sorry about the pic's they are old one's fron before the london ride the tyres and wheel decals are done, just used the pick for the grips, as i ant got any new one's

[DIRTBIKER250F]

Steve, leave the hutch friggers on , stop fussing

The 83 had Oakley B1B grips and a ACS Stoker seat. Leave those bits alone, the 84 looked loads better. Here's an 83.....

[steve Beech TA]

Thoooose one's yes saw those, but there not for sale, i thought they were then, when it popped up on the screen , mind you they will be bigger bucks than i have at the mo. Some one has got some repo one's that will do for now. just waiting for them to come one line fully. Cheers for the heads up though

[baldbmxer]

Oakley B1B's come on Ebay rgularly. Mainly red & yellow but you can get replacement white sleeves.
May cost you around £100 to get these red and whites.

Of course you could take the Hutch grips and sell them, and with the funds raised buy the Oakleys and some Aerospurts! 

[steve Beech TA]

Thats the one mark, what stem is on that as it looks very short , must admit i do pref the 84.

It's a prototype that never quite happened, the stem bolt is incorporated into the clamp and does the job of the rear 2 allen bolts to save weight. There was a mini version, I think I've got a mag somewhere with that in an ad so I'm guessing the mini one went into production

[steve Beech TA]

Cheers mark for that one
