Hello,
Just noticed a slight error, I see My CB750 / 836 bike is listed as a 750F.  but it's actually a K model. (71 Chassis with 76 motor) Not a big deal but I figured some with a keen eye might be troubled over the discrepancy.     ;)

 Hey I just noticed the voting has concluded and in my favor to boot!  :D
Thanks to all that chose mine among all these other great bikes! One of the thing I like so much about this forum and thread, is that just being nominated and in the running with so many other beautiful and interesting projects, is an honor in itself.
