Silver Tongue Diablo

[cademartori2008]

Hey ladies and gents. My wife and I have been trying to track down a frame that would encompass the exact build we are looking to achieve. I got the frame from a friend and here we go! Its a late 90's aluminum Harley Davidson frame. I am not sure how many bikes were produced but I hear the numbers were as low as 1,000 total. They where made and offered for sale only at specific Harley Davidson dealers across the U.S. The complete bike was sold for around $2,500 to $3,500. We are excited to create an old school bobber style chopper with this super cool frame! Here are a few pictures of the frame and forks that we just put on. Hope we can build a cool rat rod.

Stripped from the original parts, it does look kinda funky.
Can't wait to see what you'll come up with for this build.
Good luck and have fun!

You know I have been looking on the internet and have not found a picture yet. Kind of curious what it started out as.

Found this pic in someone's Photobucket :roll:

But now that I look at it I don't think the frames are the same :shock: :?

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Found it! Not what I expected AT ALL!

Looks like it came with a carbon fiber fenders and chainguard, cool aluminum rear fender mount, a decent RockShox DH fork and a Nexus 7 speed!

Cheers,
