I'd like to nominate Scott S' CB500 for another go-
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,161158.0.html

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.

Have fun at the VVMC show.  Brady Walker puts on a good event.  I wish I was going - I'd share my free drink passes with you.

dreambdg - you should post this on a different board, like SOHC4 bikes or Projects. This thread is for nominating finished projects, and the nominations for October 2017 closed last week.

I'll second Puffin's build. We meed more 350/400/500/550's in the running!
My 500 is running but just the motor, the frame is still on progress
