Hey Brothers, thanks for the compliments! And to those who might slag it remember the words of the great Terry "Too Tall" Broman: "There's no accounting for other people's taste in motorcycles! Hell, some people even ride Harleys!!"
The bike is mostly stock, including the rear shocks. The front end is off an '82 CB750F, fender by 7Metal West and the pipes are Harley Sportster. Mikuni carbs. Seat by Scott Park of Shade Tree Upholstery.
Here's a colour shot for DucDave...
My vote so far goes to Jimbo184 for his '71R5 Yamaha. Very sanitary!

The only minor niggles I have with it is the fender bracket behind the seat looks a bit agricultural, and I wouldn't have tossed the radiator cowling. They are the only parts that look unfinished to my eye, and they stand out because the bike is pretty sanitary overall.

Thanks for the color pic... it looks just as good! I just wanted to make certain the fenders weren't pink or something. Nice work and clean lines!
yes Brad it is a Walt Siegl frame. Built for me to make a track bike to race and instruct track days. I build all of Walt's composite bodywork so...... why not race one?
At this point, I don't think I am going to win this month. My bike is pretty cool, but Tannermatic's has a CF tank and mine has pink plastic. That will probably make the difference.
xs750-2d graphics are decals so they can be removed as it is for sale my best build so far sat outdoors for 10+ yrs in jersey pine barrens rusted mess everthing was trashed so everything was replaced and upgraded
Well, if a gift vouchers up for grabs I`m going to have a crack at it, so here`s my project bike. I cant do better picture quality as my hands shake a bit when I click. Its still work in progress, but started out as a Triton that I first renovated in 1993. I started its second restoration in December 2013, which was only really needed as the old frame had rotted out badly.
Engine now swapped out for a 750cc Weslake / Nourish race unit with 180 degree crank, gearbox now has T140 5 speed internals, dry clutch and belt drive, front brake upgraded to 4LS, replacement frame modified with old Manx type rear section, alloy yokes, wider rear swing arm, valanced rims, loads of home made bits plus it is bracketed for a carbon fibre Kirby type fairing.
