 Bike looks Great Man! I see your up for a "Bike of the Month" and will be voting appropriately.  ;)
(BTW; you should post more pix of the bike on the voting page to highlight all the work you put into this beauty!)

Thanks a lot Godffrey!  Working on pics and a write up right now.  A vote from the likes of you and I already won, in my mind anyway!...

I liked the fact that we have two very active and long time members on this poll.

Sean: sorry I forgot the additional photos in the poll.  I just added them.

I really like this bike. It’s funny when I started out it was all cafe style bikes. Now Im transitioning into you a good restomod.

Beautiful 750!

Well?  This bike is up for Bike of the Month again!  I think it lost by 1 vote last time.  ....gonna see if I can bust out a few more improvements before voting ends.

I ride this bike all the time.  It has been rock solid for many miles.

I think that's the appeal of this particular BOTM - both bikes are riders.
