Thanks for the nominations, guys!  To have my bike in the running against LeCram's and Davez's is an honor.  I'll accept.

Eydugstr,

Do you happen to have a build thread or at least some information about the bike (year, etc.), condition when acquired, and work performed to get you to the present?

Eydugstr,

Yes, I do have an older build thread but haven't updated it in awhile - http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=86053.msg998176#msg998176.  The bike did participate in the first Godzilla relay.

The bike is a '72 CB750K2 with a '77 K7 front end and electrics, and a mixture of other years with a few aftermarket pieces (aka the "Frankenhonda").

This is what the bike looks like now

We'll have to wait on a second to the nomination before your acceptance qualifies you for voting.   :o ;D
