Not sure if anybody on here was bidding or even seen it on ebay it ended yesterday evening and I bid and won it ?
Looks quite rough and missing some original bits,odd tyres etc it's my second viper but I got my other over 20 odd years ago so this is my first recent purchase and just wanted to ask if I paid over the odds or is this the right ball park
I don't know how to add a link to the advert but I basically got it for £195 ,I suppose I'm just a bit ignorant to values etc :pilky:
All new to me I'm afraid at the moment and just wanted some advice off the lads that know
-
just add the ebay item number here so we can have a look :daumenhoch:
..but on the recent purchases you see that there were 2 '84 f+f sets sold for like 90 and 130 posted to UK from the US.
edit: .ops the one for 90 seems to be smth else...
-
No probs the item no. 191058671305
Cheers and I'm guessing its a 84' by the decals being slightly different too so I may be wrong

"Original handlebars but the previous owner has tried to beat them with a hammer to try to make v bars," :LolLolLolLol:
-

Number on inside of rear dropout ?
-
lol I know I think the owners was trying to style some v bars ,bit of a shame really
serial number on the bottom of the frame F4082705
-
i've seen a db viper from 84 starting with F410... so i guess yours is a 84, too

Cool cheers for the info,I just got to decide what to do with it now? Complete rebuild with new chrome or as is with a tidy up I do one thing a new set of bars will defo be needed ha ha
-
Deffo 84 then ;) thought it was older for some reason decaled up wrong :-\ , nice db
By the way. large gusset model , before they went to the small
Gusset :)

Don't be in a rush to bin those bars though buddy. Make sure they are not Diamond Back stamped first :daumenhoch:
-
Ok mate I will do ,to be honest I will be using this site and asking daft questions as I go through the bike so won't make any silly mistakes ,can't believe the knowledge on here
-
Nowt wrong with asking questions fella, plenty of knowledge here :daumenhoch:
-
I have a set of stamped DB bars off an '84 survivor I found. Wrong bars for the bike so they're up for grabs if you need a set :coolsmiley:
-
That would be cool mate yes I would have those off you,how much my friend
-
Pm'd you bud :coolsmiley:
