Post by: PHIL9HUF on December 16, 2012, 02:45 AM: Still buzzing to get these awesome bars back :smitten: they will be powdered and new decals on soon :daumenhoch:
I just got to decide what colour!! And what bike??

My dilemma is I finished riding in 87 so when i got back into this crazy scene i started where i left it,and got an 87 GT PFT in dayglo pink![now the wife,s ride]

(http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y442/Phil9huf/IMG_0232_zps7f7f4f3f.jpg)
Then i got what i thought to be an 86 but in fact was an 87 performer with 86 decals on :wtf: The white one in pic !

Or have I gotta get an 84/85/86 pro performer from somewhere to do these babies some real justice ?

Thanks for the advice on cleaning the GT tyres guys the dishwasher said she wouldnt clean them :LolLolLolLol: so I ran them under the shower to to get the excess crap off and it worked pretty well :daumenhoch:

I will put them through the dishwasher and see how they turn out and if they are stil ok might put them on the PFT :daumenhoch:
