Title: Help needed and advice about Zeronine Plates
Post by: factory pilot on November 18, 2015, 03:44 PM

Just thought I'd put this up and see what people know about these plates....

When it comes to Haro I can tell you dates/colours/timelines/riders etc but have no idea about Zeronine ?

I'm always after different parts on my builds and fancy one to go on my Quad build but need to know dates/types/colours to be era correct of course!

I've seen a black and gold one on eBay.com ( dated 87 on the front ) for example and ideally need a black or black and gold one ... Did they even do these around 83 ?

What were the different types called and how long were they used from?

To be fair they seem rarer and harder to find than Haro's in some respects !
 
Any help or info greatly appreciated lads!

Thanks in advance, Ant  :daumenhoch:

Mike Buff was advertising Zeronine Stadium Plates back in 1983, buddy  :daumenhoch:

I'm thinking early 80's for the 'Airflow' as above, then the 'Superflow' mesh thingy, then on to the 'Moto Control' and then the 'Landing Panel'............... maybe??  ???

'Ears' are often trimmed off too just to make them sit better, a hair dryer would probably help if you were gonna try curl the 'ears' around the bars.  :daumenhoch:
