Post by: ED209 on September 28, 2011, 08:16 PM: black forks and black bars would be nice.

Keep off the tuffs. Follow your own science.

No gyro?

I've got a padded DK seat that would be friendlier on yo ass than that GT one :angel:

The best looking StreetBeat I've seen :4_17_5: mainly as it looks so rideable :smitten:
Title: Re: 87 Street beat MKIII
Post by: pickle on September 28, 2011, 08:18 PM: Cheers mate, it will be at the boardroom next weekend :daumenhoch:

Tried a gyro but I just couldn't get it working and as I never spin the bars I just run w straight cable.

Title: Re: 87 Street beat MKIII
Post by: Deano on September 30, 2011, 05:10 PM: That looks tops Pickle!!
I quiet like the bars atm but black will no doubt fit better, keep the disc too imo as its right for it.
Iv always wanted the teal beat but not keen on the brake tabs.

Perfect rider if not a bit good :4_17_5:
