           No problem there heffay.   I still think that 6pk's 750F deserves a spot, so I'm nominating it. ;)

How about wardmoto's 350F?  Looks like a ton of work went into that one.  Nice job.

Hi Guys,

Thx for the nomination it is really appreciated!.....I think I will have to decline for this month though......I am still having some petcock/carb issues that cropped up after my first ride as in fuel running out of one of my air filters    :'( :'(   Also, have more cosmetic changes to make.

Anyway, I don't feel the the bike is in 100% running condition so I would like to decline nomination until I feel it is up to snuff. 

Thx again !

         Hey Doug,

                   That's too bad about the issues you're having but, imagine you'll have those turned around in no time. Your declining and telling the facts says a lot about your character. Due to that and the quality of your build, I imagine that you'll be in the BOTM gallery before too long. ;) LOL on your issues and enjoy those rides afterwards. ;) 8)

                                                     Later on, Bill :) ;)
