I nominate greanjeans' cool machine.  The perfect mix of original and custom.  Among other things, take note of the front brake.

I nominate FunJimmy's CB550 Intercepter.  Someone else put a pic up here, I'm flyin out the door.

If this is last months BOTM winner, it cannot be nominated.

Tipper, I didn't see that you got your nomination for greenjeans in 2 minutes before I got mine in.  I guess what they say is true; great minds think alike. 
;D


Perhaps I'll nominate another bike.  There are so many good ones to choose from.

With a great big smile on my face, I accept.   A little cliche', but just to be nominated on this forum is quite an honor.  Thanks guys definitely couldn't have got it done
with out the help and encouragement of this site.   Freezin....I've said it before, I'll say it again - I really liked your bike when it was charcoal, but that new paint REALLY sets it off.

Here's a link to some of the build.

Yeah, I just noticed that my math was wrong... doesn't make the choice any easier, though...

If you're worried about how many calories are in beer, is losing weight really your biggest problem?

The drum is of an early CB450  they shine up easily & you'll be able to find them pretty cheap.
