[MRieck]

Nice work bro! T shirt looks good too. What forum is that I see on the computer screen?

[NE550]

Very nice.  The wheels are neat and the paint looks perfect.

[andy750]

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Thanks everyone for the comments!No sleep Fri. nite,finished it @3:45AM.Sams Time,Would be honored if someone wants to nominate it for BOTM! Thanks again!,Bill

[Popwood]

Congratulations, and amid some stiff competition at that. Really like the red frame against the other black parts. Been wondering why, myself, lately, are frames always black and seem to disappear.

[BobbyR]

Very nicely done. Congratulations.

[paulages]

great work, man. bet it rides great.

[SKTP]

That bike looks awesome...

is that the stock cycle-X exhaust?

[MacM2010]

Congratulations, it's a beautiful bike.  +1 on the red frame - it looks great.

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Yes it is,good eye,put it on Fri. nite,Drew 's gonna change specs.I like it,went on well,we'll see how paint holds up.Sounds real nice w/out tip,a little too short for that tho.Bill.MR,I needa ,I needa,I needa,I needa some $$,Ha,Ha,.Jim told me more about your work.!!,Bill

[736cc]

Nice CB750 cafe, bet it rides nice, too.
What city was the show?

[Hush]

I love the clear window exposing the cam and points, just wondering, at night is there a fireworks display in there?
Noticed some of the mint bikes in the background, that Yamaha DT125 (I think) is like new and the wee Kwaka too, looks like a great show and congrats on the win mate.

[bikebitzofvt]

Congrats on the show!  Looks like it was a blast.

Really liking that points cover, too!  Got any details on where it's from?

Seconding Andy's BOTM nomination!  (If that's how it works   )

[bwaller]

I too congratulate you on the hard work Bill, nice job.

Looks like some old metal Castrol cans on the shelf, is that some bean oil I see too?

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Thanks again,it was a labor of love,lots of hrs.,but finished product OK,The show was in Dahlonega,Ga,just north of Atlanta,we had over 60 bikes,the pts cvr was old Drag specilties cvr,I had been saving for my build,but couldn't resist putting it on Calendar Girl,at night can be show,but not much with new pts and condensers.Thanks again for the comments,Bwaller time for an update!Bill

[tortelvis]

Very nice indeed! Well done!

[Jim F]

Well done Bill
I voted for the bike also (you knew that)
And it was really good to see my old friend Bill Benton after so many years

Call me when you want to start on your front end as I found a set of brembos that would work great

Jim

[Sam Green Racing]

Looks real cool Billy, Drew must be pleased, nice attention to detail, you've done yourself proud.

Sam.

[wannabridin]

congrats on the show!!!  you have a BEAUTIFUL bike!!  i love the red frame and gold wheels!!  but i have to ask!  where did you get that smoked ignition cover???  that thing is SO cool looking!!!  again thanks, and let's get him in for BOTM!!

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Thanks for all your comments,I really do appreciate the feedback.The cvr was available from Drag Specialties,I still  want a smoked or clear tappet caps or cam cover!,Now that would be cool.Big Jim,it was so good to see ya,can't wait til Sam hits town,we'll get that dinner then if not before.Thanks,this forum and Drew got me inspired again(esp. Sam)you guys ROCK!,Bill
P.S.Show was put on by Moto 400 Yamaha/Suzuki/Triumph dealer,they do it this time every year.

[Sam Green Racing]
