Great selection this month as usual.  The quality of our member's builds never ceases to amaze me.  Spammasher's paint is great, and both Nokrome's, and Roach's are very nice back to basics.

A typical BOTM tough choice.  Still a couple of days left to make my decision.

It might be just another Benji Cafe bike but Spammasher dose it for me, when the bike is finished and he gets rid of the black rims and spokes, it will be a show stopper. ::)
Well done the other two, both worthy of being in here. 8)

That's part of my problem with making a decision this month.  I'm really getting tired of Benji tanks, and seats.

That's why my 400SS is stock and will stay that way, and the 750 will be only mildly mod'd.

Voted.  A tough choice, there were things I liked about all of them, and little things I didn't.

Just i have made my choice.
This time i went with the big one.
But the small ones are also fairly nice.

I´m impressed by the tank works on the big one.

6 hours left to get your vote in if you forgot.  Vote count is actually quite high this month so there is prolly not many, if any, left to vote.

Thanks to everyone for the votes,it's a real honor just to be nominated let alone win BOTM. Thanks to going4speed and sinister902 for nominating my bike and tipperT for organising it all. Win or not it's a great buzz to show case what we have all done to our bikes and given these old bikes a new lease on life. Can't wait to see what bikes are nominated next month. Don.

BAhhhh... Wish I could change my vote after paying closer attention to some of the build logs...meh. No offense to the other candidates, but to me the build means more than the finished product (almost).
