Black Diamond Deluxe

[OddJob]

Metal studs, diamond costume jewelry. And I'm guessing; black? Just a wild guess.

So I thought I would pull a few more parts out . I couldn't resist to see what this heavy metal Black Diamond Deluxe might look like . So far so good just hope I can make them all work together.
The bars are kinda wild on here they came off a old beach cruiser parts bike . What do you think?

Dig those bars on there, with that rack the whole bike looks like it's flying.
If you painted it red, yellow and blue; you could call it Superman deluxe.

Bars look cool, +1 with my beer named thespian above ^. And that rack is slick. Looks like the tail feathers of a road runner, or a cape flying in the breeze. Again, see Shakesbeer remarks ^.

Not really feeling the fender in the front. Re-visit a look at TRM's winning BO-9 Raceliner build. I followed his lead with a fender less front for One-liner as well. Lets the tank really stand out, and you have that cool fork out there that begs for attention.

Play with the tilt on the bars to get them to line up with the lines on the frame somewhere. Maybe tipped up to the same angle as the rack...

The tank looks awesome on there, worth the effort.

I was thinking about the seat post , being there's no way to get to the tension bolt . Now I know why you made that special seat bracket . Always thought that was a cool ida .

That is one cool looking bike and nice pic too!

Wow you really snuck this one in here G-Matt. Totally missed this. Great job fitting the tank. Like the way that rack tilts up on the small frame. Looking cool!

Took a long weekend in the camper & also went to the house of blues for a concert got to see a great band , Brothers Osborn .
They are a new school country bad with old sole & rock sound , that shreds the guitar.

Any way back in the shop got the rocker arms I need from A.S Bolt & Nut . But gold just isn't my color .

So I put some Magic hot sauce on them

I never did like gold rockers on my pizza

But I do like old chrome & natural rust. Yum much better.

"Cool Beans" The TRM tank makes for such a great transformation on girls frames ! This one being so compact reminds me of a Sportster,
liking it a lot !

Started working on the fork today. Cleaned off some over spray on the old chrome some had gotten on there at some point . Got it prepped and ready to paint going to try and match the nature aged frame .

Looks good!
The best place I've found for a23 batteries is auto parts stores.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Those lights suit the tanks perfectly!

Didn't feel like going to work today so I didn't one of the bonuses of being self employed, the down fall is I didn't get payed ....
So I spent most of the day in the garage. Got a lot done on the old Black Diamond Deluxe .
I clear coated the wheels . Put the hub back together & greased the front axle. Also cleaned up the rubber on the Lightning darts. Great set of tires I picked up off a parts bike with original tubes.

Also finished the painting the fork . I'm pretty happy with the color match . iIts almost perfect , it matched the the nature aged frame great . I put the rockers back on o got from A.S Bolt & nut . I decided to flip them after talking to the R-Man it will push the front wheel out a couple more inches . For a long & better look .

I decided to clear coat this bike with a satin finish. Not to shiny but just enough to seal it up and give it a clean look.
