I'll nominate hotdog's 1972 cb750. Beautiful example of a 72 resto with a legit 836 engine rebuild! (For some weird reason this one speaks to me ;D) great job!

Can you post the link to the project thread?

The bike was voted on in November 2014, so it's eligible.

You guys are great!  I still very much consider my 550 a project, not anywhere near the level of complete that some of these nominations are but I'm honored to be nominated!  I accept, and will have some more pictures up Saturday.

Thanks!

For the record, everyone, Milla03's bike was not eligible for voting because he never accepted the nomination.
