Topic: Nomination for Bike of the Month - October 2015

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

It's a new month and time to nominate some worthy bikes for BOTM.

There was that fancy F with home made side cover and tail light, anybody remembers that one?  I will try to find it.

[70CB750]

OK, I would like to nominate GritCity750's 1975 CB750F

I affectionately call that the Doctor D replica/homage. (Dave's super sport is an 88 hp juggernaut so it's not a copy but inspiration. Note: my Nine Lives bike used the same style seat as Dave's bike (both fabricated by Ian Halcott) so I acknowledge the alluring aesthetic of the bike.)  http://www.twinlinemotorcycles.com/?p=1405  The paint scheme is pretty dead nuts on, save for actual tank emblems being used (where Dave used painted emblems).

Gritcity's version features impressive skills on the headlight bucket, sidecover and cowl/taillight. Note: the fiberglass and carbon fiber cowl/seat is different on this bike than the steel ones on my bike and Doctor D's PLUS a ginormous amount of BRAKE light coming from multiple LEDs. I don't think I have seen a garage built cowl/tail with this level of refinement.  Gritcity should sell these things!  It IS a tidy, looker of a bike.

I second that!

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

It should be noted that Kyle aka chewbacca5000 painted that bike himself!  Now quit teasing and put those emblems on! 

Now don't forget to let Kyle know to "accept" the nomination in this thread!

What do you all say about the Cliff's (Kustomizer) CB750K6  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,142604.0.html

The paint and the hand-applied gold leaf Honda/750Four logos are pretty awesome.

[edwardmorris]

Will be seconded readily but I'd suggest saving it for next month.....just my 2c of course...

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

It's funny.  Sometimes the nominees stack up right away, and sometimes they straggle in.

You're welcome. Wait for the voting thread in two weeks to "show and tell" the story of your bike.

Thanks

I second Kustomizer's beautiful cafe 750 bike.

[Kustomizer]

Thanks for the nomination and I totally accept, thanks!

October, tbe  month of tough decisions 

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

Agreed.  It'll be a 4-way battle royale. 

To the nominees, make sure to post in the coming VOTE thread (NOT HERE) a summary of your build with pictures of your bike.  The VOTING thread will open on September 16th!  This gives voting members the backstory of your build (what you started off with and what you did).  The "story" of your build can be a significant consideration in deciding how to vote.

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

Well, we have plenty of worthy nominees for the October BOTM!  When the polls open on the 16th, lets see some build summaries from the candidates and voting!
