I had one a few years back, bought it new in 91 from Superbike in Ilford and sold it in 2005 to someone on here (Spex). He made it into a new school ride. Never seen another and wish I hadn't sold it, but I needed the cash at the time.  :(

See it here in all it's new school glory: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=6070.0  (page 1 Haro Museum) It looks pink in the pic but was the bright neon red.

From what I've read the headtubes tended to come off them. The only issue I had though was the screw in rear pegs started to bend the chainstays after about 5 mins - as I thought they might-  so I went back to Fusion axle pegs. I miss that bike. With a layback post and wide GT 4-piece bars it felt like a big bike. Not like the Haro Flair that I also had.

Wonder what happened to it in the end...?

I wonder how many there are in the uk? There seems to be a million of 80's haros!
Title: Re: haro air masters
Post by: Discostu on February 20, 2012, 04:32 PM
There wouldn't be that many of them as most ramp/street riders rode the longer sport. And the flatlanders rode the ground master.As with most bashguard bikes most got abused and ended up dented to fook without the plates on them.  :'(. Also the era when they were out was far from the golden days of massive sales during the early 80's so not many were produced. I would say that all 3 of the bashmasters are the rarest haro's of the lot. Including the gen 1!  There were loads more sports built as they did them from 90-95. Bash masters were only from 89-91. personally love the look of them. Yummy bright orange!  :smitten:  the team one with the super rare fusion alloy cranks was the top one to have. I like all the Haro bashguard frames. I really should build up the 89 one I have. A totally different frame shape to yours but it was my favourite Haro which I rode back in 89 :)

I want them all! :crazy2:
Title: Re: haro air masters
Post by: Discostu on February 20, 2012, 06:03 PM
To get all 3 is gonna cost u a bit. That's if you are building them up to team spec or near. You must be looking at £1500 to £2000 a bike. That's why most people build the more common sport as they are a fraction of the price.  :daumenhoch:

Post by: Mdbh on February 20, 2012, 06:23 PM
I would defo want a 89-90 master bash guard  1991 air master and I'd like a 1991 sport!
Title: Re: haro air masters
Post by: Discostu on February 20, 2012, 07:25 PM
Now that would be quite a collection!  :daumenhoch:

Here's my 1989 bash master hopefully I should have the bits to build her up in the next month or so.  ;)

That is lush my friend!! They did 1 with a square bash gaurd aswell? Was that a 90?
Title: Re: haro air masters
Post by: Discostu on February 20, 2012, 07:37 PM
Yes the 1990 version had a short bashguard that was square at the rear stays. Also the coaster mount was taken off. As were the rear studed grips on the chain stays and the top tube was slightly longer.  :daumenhoch:

It's got the wrong bashplate though. The airmasters had one without the flick. Some where plastic some were alloy.  :daumenhoch:

My Airmaster had the plastic guard with the flick at the back. A lot of Airmaster/sport riders cut that part off.

No they ain't for sale as they are my ground master set that I didn't use (the same forks as the airmaster and Early sport) I'm keeping them in case I sell on the ground master. Then I can sell it with the original forks. Unless I buy a bash master frame on its own then they will get used. ;)

Post by: stuntmaster on February 22, 2012, 07:34 AM
i always thought the bashguard master 91 was longer than the sport 91 as changed netween the two  back in day because the master felt big and long ,anyone got top tube length of both
for those that ask yes do have master forks but not for sale at mo ,will keep you updated if changed my mind

Post by: Tonto on February 22, 2012, 08:33 AM
