I'm sure I'm missing a few things but this should cover most of it. Thanks, Joe

That exhaust is boss and the aluminium fairing is the bizz-nizz!

Constructive criticism goes in the middle of the feedback sandwich. So why pods on the CV carbs? I can hear the hesitation in the revs as if it's taking a moment to catch a breath. And straight pipes are known as drag pipes because they only act right at the highest RPM's. Put some resistance in that thing. Maybe snuff-or-nots?

Say mate, I work around Texas often. I'm spending some time in Dallas here and there. Maybe we can help with eachother's builds. You have my vote. Treasure it. Never forsake it.

Thanks brother, btw the rear seat are a cm400 oil pump and a pocketbike transmission. Found this vid of the night i finished the fairing. She runs a lil better once she's warmed up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtW7e7QTjFA&feature=player_detailpage
 
Really top class builds this month.

Lupo is a sweet bikeand I'd love in my garage.

The paint on the KZ is fantastic and I love those bug bruisers

As for Green and the GT the engineering and attention to detail are simply amazing.

I cant decide yet.
 
Congrats Junior! Nice build, nice win! 8)

To the rest... you'll be there down the road! All really nice bikes! :D
 
Congrats to Junior. You got a 69! To all the others, well done as well. all bikes I have followed and really like and like Drewski said. You likely will all get there one of these months.
 
With all the awesome bikes this month its truely humbling to win. Huge thanks to everyone that voted and showed support/help through the build. Really means a lot coming from ya'll. Thanks again!!
 
My vote went to junior, but I don't think anybody should think that the fairing was really the winning factor. It's a great piece and completely transforms the bike's form and flow, but it's the engineering that did it for me, and there was almost an excess of that!

It's all great work and I'm sure all are equally appreciated for what they are.
