I chose Thunder's most excellent and tenacious effort. :D
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Voting is closed and it looks like there is a 4 way tie.

You have the 2nd and 3rd choice duplicated and my BOM isn't listed.  (March was omitted) See Picture of the one you omitted.
The 8th and 9th a also duplicated.

It looks like Thunder has 4 votes and is the winner.
Not sure how I can fix this mess other than starting over with a new poll which wouldn't be fair to voters and votes already cast.
I clearly am not cut out for this duty.
