There's only a few builds that come across these threads that really make me envious and want that particular bike. I admire all of them in their own way, but some just stir me deeply. This one shakes and stirs me for all the right reasons. So, Stev-o, if it ever goes missing, you'll know exactly where to find it. And I promise to take very good care of it while I "borrow" it.  8)

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.  It was a real fun project, took longer than it should of, but why rush, right? [BTW - I've started on the H2, wanted to finish this one first]

Dont forget to vote for your favorite bike in BOTM, whichever one it may be!

Voted.

I've got plans to attend the Giddy Up Chopper Show in New Braunfels on 3/25.  We might be riding around in your area on Friday.  Might take the CB750 if it's done and I can do some testing first.

Let me know, you have my number.  I'm trying to wrap up a project at work next week [build out of a real estate office] so it would be tough to take a day off, but I could possibly cut out early.

Thanks Don.   

I wanted to take The PArk Racer for a spin last weekend, rolled it out and turns out the battery was dead.  I was so disappointed.  Will pull the seat and charge it up. I plan to put a pigtail on the battery so I can charge the battery w/o pulling the seat ...

Bummer, but a good call on the pigtail.  I put a Battery Tender quick connect/disconnect cable on pretty much every bike I own and leave the ones I am not riding weekly on the Tender.
