The group on has got to be a racer, find some group one race bars,haro circuit board raceplate and would definately benefit from a nice 3piece crank. Ideally group one crank ( i know, pricey and rare ), alternately some profiles.
SR speedtrap pedals or odyssey black widow

If it was me mate i'd have to decide red or yellow for the goose as i'm not sure the 2 can work together - red bits on a yellow frame maybe but not sure about red and yellow bits on a chrome frame, but you never know....... after all, if you get the red nylon pads there is yellow in the lettering....... and then some oakley grips (or copies) in red/yellow (i have seen them in that combo) you could pull it together. Might need to go for a yellow seat to balance things though ? Could look pretty unique  8)

Knew I'd seen a red/yellow combo grip somewhere..... cbrgil's got 'em on ebay - i reckon they could work with your tyre/wheel set-up.....

Bars back on both for definate , look like retard burner riders bikes from bitd .

IMO spokes always looked better on the Haro RS1/RS2 .

agree dump the tuffs on the Haro, look on ebay for a set of profiles, loads on there and you can normally pick them up pretty cheap, you wont find a group one crankset for love or money as most of them snapped. (though i do have one in my garage.... :shocked:)

As for the goose, i like the red and yellow, the stickers are the same so why not.... agree the stem should go though.... yellow not gold and never should they mix!!! :LolLolLolLol:
