I nominate Seth's 750 Cafe with lace, modern GSX-R front end, Mikuni RS34s, boxed oil tank, replica Dresda swingarm, etc. - the bike affectionately nicknamed "Ruby"

Yeah, great looking bike.  Love the lace paint job.  Fits the personality/era of the build nicely.  Anxious to see the rest of the nominees.

Superb build, well done Seth, and good luck! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I guess it's a red bike thing. 

How about Chaser60's 1975 CB550K spruced-up 2-seater with a cool bobbed rear fender

Thank you for the nom.  I humbly accept.   Seth - Ruby is a stunning build. It is an honor to be in same month with such work. 

I am on an iphone now but will post up a few other pics later this week when near a computer.  Build thread is in my signature.

Thanks again!

That thing is awesome! The tail reminds me of the KZ duckbill fender. Totally cool.

I agree.  That bobbed Harley fender is totally unique and really sets the bike off with the paint. 

Any other candidates??
