Shouldn't have to reset the votes. Wish I could see what you are see. I would have to remote into your machine I guess.

Those are all really nice bikes. Love the 400f of Feb. It's a tough choice...

Just found this thread for BOTY. Kinda brings a tear to my eye...I've been wishing this was back in my garage. Sold to a guy in Grand Rapids MI, then found it was sold again on to a guy in New Mexico. A few weeks ago, I ran across pics of it sitting at the Iron and Air booth at Barber.

Ok, so here's a load of pics...sorry no video (yet). Performance? It goes like stink!

I call it the Hybrid, as it's a '73 CB350F frame with a '75 CB400F engine...and a load of other parts from various other bikes/makes. Short story, bought the engine from a guy thinking I would install in another 350 I built for the wife. That bike ran so well I really didn't want to replace it's engine. Down the street from my place, I found a guy selling a 350 rolling chassis with no title for practically nothing. After obtaining a title, I figured it's time to get started.

The engine was found to be in fantastic shape. I disassembled and went through the usual items for good measure.

Mods include:
*FZR600 Rearsets
*CB900RR F3 Hand Controls on Drop Bars
*Custom Headlamp with LED Dash Lights
*CB550F Tach
*Benelli Mojave Tank
*Hand Formed Aluminum Tail Section (Constructed by Meyerbuilt (Forum member Englishwheeler))
*Custom Seat and Upholstery
*Lucas Glass Tail Lamp (I used to own a Bugeye and always liked the tail lamps)
*LED Turn Signals
*Battery Relocation to Tail
*Custom House of Kolor Paint with heavy metal flake (Sucks the pics don't pick it up at all!)
*Hand Pinstriped by Bob Keeney. Google this old guy who goes by Bikini. He's a legend in the custom car world and found to live a couple of miles away!
*Powdercoated frame/hubs/wheels
*Modified CB350 Wiring Harness
*Katana Brake Master
*Ducati Horn (Hell it was free and laying around in the garage!)
*Avon Roadriders
*CB900F Koni's
*CB400F Forks w Progressive Springs

STOP!....Hey guys, Ive been busy....working on my bike have the motor out blah, blah.....Just realized my Pegasus bike is in this poll and although I'm flattered you have me listed as Bike of the month for March.

I was not BOTM for March, that was " Doctor_D " His bike should be listed sorry to mess things up but its not fair on him and all the hard work put in. Fairs fair is it not too late to change it?

Stev-o · « **Reply #33 on:** November 29, 2012, 02:35:15 PM »

My apoligies to all.

Really? · « **Reply #34 on:** November 29, 2012, 05:24:45 PM »

I spoke to Stev-o and I asked if I can redo BOTY but on the condition that I get three Yay's from the forum community. He agreed.

So, if I get three Yay's before three Nay's from y'all, I will. I just want to make sure the forum community is ok with me doing this.

Yay, it is the right thing to do...Larry

So, off to redo-ing the BOTY. I will remove the poll since I cannot lock it and lock this thread.

Since this has been going a while, I was thinking about letting the newly created one run about 15 days, just like a normal BOTM. I will link it to this thread.

Anyone that ever wanted to change their vote will get that wish - woohoo!

Stev-o · « **Reply #39 on:** November 29, 2012, 07:38:59 PM »

Thanks Rick, please come back! And once again, apologies all.

Really? · « **Reply #40 on:** November 29, 2012, 08:08:01 PM »

Ok folks, no need to lock this thread. Everyone will still need to revote, let me know if it is jacked up again for the poll part, it looks funny again.

Really? · « **Reply #41 on:** November 29, 2012, 08:13:12 PM »

Stev-o, you have done well! So has Greggo!

Really? · « **Reply #42 on:** November 29, 2012, 08:15:16 PM »

There were about 96 votes in the prior poll, we need to get those back at least if we can. I have reposted this on the SOHC4 FB page as well. This thread needs a lot of activity to catch up.

Good momentum so far on the voting but we have a ways to go to catch up.
