1987 Haro Sport

This is my 87 Sport. I still have my rider bike but I had to build an 87 for my show bike. This is exactly how the bike looked the day I bought it. Hope you like?

Another sweet Haro of yours Still looks cool as hell with the parts you have on it, original or not.

Interesting. Very sweet bike, but it appears to have 87 decals on it. Did you build it up or did it come with the kneesavers? What's the serial number? Late 88 models shouldn't have 990 either. Hmmm...

I got it in 88 but I was told it was an 88.5 when I bought it. I now know the 88.5 didn't have 990 mounts. The frame is an 87 serial number! I know Haro used a few late 87 serial numbers on there early 88 models. John

Sorry, On second look it DOES have 88 decals on it. That's actually an early 88 model. 88.5s did not have 990s and the rear triangles were painted instead of chrome.

Thanks Paulie, I was worried for a moment there. I have had this bike for almost 20 years. Hadto have the top plate re-made and welded back on as I cracked it all the way through. I am just chassing decals for it. The colour way is never available on ebay!

Super sweet build bro. Didn't even click it was one of yours. Glad to see another Aussie here. D.

Wow.. you had the top re-welded???
Amazing!

How did you match that Blue Haro paint color?

It looks wonderful!

One of my mates is a spray painer by trade. He matched the colour pretty well. But I am still not happy with the bike. I want to strip it down and have it re-chromed and re-sprayed. I have a nos sticker set but the sport part of the set is all blue not black fade to blue. So if anyone out there has that sticker and would sell or trade, please drop me a line. John

wow.. well, I think the color looks dead on PERFECT.
I've seen SPORTS re-powdered by some Pro's.. that don't have the exact same color as they come stock. I think I remember that you're located in UK. I wish I lived closer to have your friend paint my Haro Master that color.

I might try myself. is there a certain Blue Paint I should get?
I'd love to match this ...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

I am in Melbourne Australia now, I am from Scotland. As for the blue paint, I had my mate scrape a sample from my frame and colour match it. Cheers John

The forks normally come up on ebay every few months. They go for between $130 and $180us. John
