Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

Yeah I know tried uploading it from Photobucket but doesn't seem to be working.  Have to try to upload it from my hard drive tonight but last time I did that it didn't work either.

Can anyone help?

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

I believe the word for this across the pond is "TITS!" Sweet ride indeed.

I think those sweetskinz diamondback pattern tires would put this thing over the top.

New school fills me with contempt. ride it hard, ride it angry, ride to destroy....

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

Sweet ride. For Decals: try and get an original picture of the sticker and go to your local sticker/sign shop(where they make decals) and see what they can do. You'd be suprised, if given something to work with.

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

Well here's my baby yet again, updated and now with decals applied, I think they look alright.  I know it should have the "Diamondback II" decal on it but as you know they're near enough impossible to get hold off.

Any comments are always appreciated.

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

Great bike.  I sold a Pacer 500 last year due to other builds but I'm still a big fan of the oldschool DB's.  Glad to see my tyres found a loving home down there in the Channel Islands...

Re: 1983 Diamond Back Silver Streak

Sad to say I have found out from the guru of DB (Sparky) that this is in fact a Viper.  but the good news is I have just scored a Silver Streak f/f from Arizona and I will be building it up soon and posting it on here.
