I wanted the big old Moon tank on the bike. I think it looks better than an open space. Just my thoughts.

To all of the nominees, I will be opening the polls tomorrow for voting on BOTM November. 

Please post (in that thread, not this one) a summary of your build (what you started with and what you did) and some pictures.  This helps provide voting members with some context about the build.  Some members voting is influenced by the amount and/or sophistication of work performed or the performance enhancements/improvements to the bike.

"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one.... Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba." Hunter S.
