Afternoon all,
I've finally finished my latest build which is a replica of my rider from back in the day - an 83 silver streak. It brings back some great memories for me

and I'm going to enjoy riding it

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Joff and Vaughan for helping out

Here's some photos of it and hope you enjoy - thanks

Doug, that's beautiful mate, just how mine would look if I built one.

You having a pad set?

Thanks Dan. Yes I'm waiting on a standard padset and hoping it won't be too much longer

Me too as that would finish it off nicely. Never entered botm before but there's always the first for everything

Looks great

A pad set will finish it off nicely but I bet BITD the pads were the first things to go

That's lovely! You just can't beat a chrome and black Diamond back

Like that!

Very tidy, liking that a lot.

A classic mate, one of my favourite street bikes BITD. When I built mine I went without pads as, to reflect the comment above, we ripped them off for the street.

Great build.

Looks great Doug, just how you'd expect a DB ss to look

How did the bits you had rechromed turn out??

I don't agree with this statement Nath... Reflectors where the first to go as they were gay, closely followed by the front brake!! (Until Bob brought his book of moves out, then everyone put the front brake back on

)

Cheers guys and I'm glad you like it.

Steve - I've haven't had the forks done yet (they are for another build) but am dropping them round this week. Will let you know how I get on

thanks

Awesome build Doug

The fact it's a replica of your bike from bitd makes it even more special .

Glad i could help out mate

that's a lovely D.B

kungfunky · « **Reply #21 on:** June 15, 2014, 08:31 PM »

I've always had a soft spot for these as my brother had one bitd, fine example here.

Great build Doug

Nearly got one of those myself recently.
Not sure about your pink slippers though.
