Title: Skyway - What exactly are these?
Post by: Orange777 on June 10, 2012, 12:36 PM
Hola,

For one of my builds, I am not as precious about NOS.

This seller (who gets slated for 92items, non are these) on The Bay is selling Skyway UT. What does that mean? I like some of his colors but am guessing as not Tuff may be some differences....

Any experts on Skyways?

Cheers!!

Skyway Utility mags, they still produce them now, I think they came on the later repop of the repop anniversary Raleigh burners

simular design to Z-mags

would look alright on a ride - but if you want a better look go original skyways  ;)
