Thanks Ecosse!!!

Uhm, so I should post a better pic or two? Thanks for the nomination. Pretty tough company with the chopper and cafe options to choose from this month!

When it stops raining I will try and get a pic or two of its best side.

Thanks again it has been a great build.

Bill and Project 13.

And we accept the nomination whole heartedly!

The accept was a bit early but I will take it.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

KB02 and Retro Rocket you two are too kind, however I accept your nomination.

You got a build thread for that bad boy?  If not, could you at least tell me where you got the license plate bracket?

Some great looking noms this month.  If anything hasn't had an official "second," I will here-by do so, as all three are good calls.

The licence plate bracket is my own design, I have the CAD drawing if you want to copy it.

PS. We are still waiting for the photo of the scantily clad bikini model sitting on Cqyqte's chopper!
I'll see what I can do, headed for a show with her this weekend.  Hooters is going to be there along with the usual bikini clad models... I just may have to charm one into posing for photo, since it looks like Kit's a little too far away to follow through with her offer.  It's a tough job but sometimes you just got to sacrifice for the many!

Thanks for the second and I happily accept the nomination! Now, I'm open to any thing to improve what I've built so I'm going to ask about the "tone down" comment. What do you mean lower or cleaned up more?

Thanks again,
Lynn

Spikey has a thing for that case color.  As in he likes it.

Both of your bikes would look good next to each other.
