Fookin' hell Dave.
A couple of my mates had these BITD, and I am amazed that I have never seen them on here before.
Theirs came with yellow OGK's, but everyhing else looks the same.
I would defo say '83, we were all on the ale by 86, the bikes had well gone.
Cant remember the pads though mate, sorry.
Sure they were yellow, if that helps.
