I would love to second Scott's but it needs to wait 1 additional month to be eligible.

BOTM Rule 4.   If a bike was voted upon in a BOTM and did not win, it may not be re-nominated for 3 months.  (http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,8929.0.html)

The bike was voted on for July 2017 BOTM, so it is not eligible until next month.   :-\   (http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,166497.0.html)

I will accept...but this is some stiff competition! I should receive my re-calibrated CB450 Black Bomber Speedo /Tach this week then, other than shorter speedo and tach cables...it's pretty much finished (I hope!) If I do get the speedo/tach on the bike, I plan on entering my first show ever on Saturday.

My 500 is running but just the motor, the frame is still on progress

That's a lovely motor with some great detail work. Certainly you plan on replacing the rusty exhaust studs, and being consistent with all the screws/bolts to new, shiny ones as well!  :o It would be a travesty to try that color of lipstick on a pig...

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
