CB I can not accept just yet. I am tentatively complete in the effort to get a few test spins done before snow falls. However I do need to finish the lining of the tank, rebuild the gauges which I may attempt to retro fit a 650 tach to match the 550s. Install LED strip in the gauges as well. Then onto the forks which I will be placing my order for racetechs Emulators. Not to mention setting up the dual disk..

Thanks once again for the nomination but I will have to decline.... For this month at least.

If it's not too late, I nominate Johnie's Baccus Olive Green K3 750, (unless this is a
model or specific style month). That green stocker is eloquently understated. IMHO. Honda hit that one out of the park.
