As already mentioned, building a nice custom is one thing, restoring back to original like this is quite another. Incredible job you did.

I for one, would like to nominate/vote (if there is such a thing on here) your bike for BOM. Hope more people will support you on this. It would be an appropriate successor to OMR's great looking build.

Thanks for that Joe, I wasn't sure if the BOM was still going on or not and that isn't to take anything away from OMR's build as it is very unique and well thought out! There are a lot of good looking bikes on this forum that deserve a month and then some.

"would like to nominate/vote (if there is such a thing on here) your bike for BOM"...
With-Out-A-Doubt.... ;) I already sent a PM to the Mods on this phenomenal build...

And I'm not being modest here but Screw my build for this is truly a piece of nostalgic art... B) Put this beauty on Bike of the Year, hands down that's my vote...

No way OMR, your bike is as much a beauty! Its like the same thing as if you just saw the most beautiful woman ever, then you some time later it happens again with another girl and you think the same thing all over again. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: And it wouldn't have mattered which of them you see first, same result.
