Nice! You do that yourself? I'll be into a kitchen reno in the next couple of years.

Did everything myself except the counter - that gets installed in a couple of weeks. I rebuilt/modified/refinished the existing cabinets which was the biggest job. Flooring was easy (just not easy on the knees :'( ) and drywall was the usual dust storm . Kitchens are a pain because they are the most used room in the house - just watch the look on your significant others face when you tell them that you want to close the kitchen for 3weeks :eek:.

Hey Jim! I've accumulated HUUUUGE brownie points! ;) I'll be in the garage full time next winter working on a real project! ;D ;D
 
Roustabout, glad to hear those brownie points will get you back to working with steel, wheels, and grease! I hope it also helps you put some more active use time in the bedroom! ;)

Nice work brother, I have done that kind of work for the majority of my working life! My dad is a home builder and historic home society remodeler, which means from the time I was old enough to carry a hammer, I was working for him! Later did some of my own (Alex and I). We owned a flooring company for a few years and actually did really well with it. Good Job!

Cheers

Thanks guys for the nomination. I can take more pics if needed;) I switched out the drag bars with super bike bars also.

Hey Shiz, I'm diggin' the drag bars! They give it a "tucked in narrow look" that I love! I tried to run 'em on my KZ but I couldn't get the controls to clear the upper triple clamps and fork tops without looking like "wings" sticking out in the breeze! I ended up with narrowed Superbike bars too. You'd better post a pic of your machine with the Superbike bars though! ;) ;D

Nice build! 8) 8)

This is gonna be a really tough month. I think the only way I can feel ok about my vote this month is to vote for cb750dudes daughters bike!

oh i'd love to see the updated bars!
 
I try to post some new pics tonight. I just bought some clip ons that I'm going to try out and see if I like them. Should have them by next week. I like the low stance look but, my back may not..

Everything is tuck away in the garage for the winter, my place is pretty full between my bikes, customer bikes, and new tools I keep buying;) Baby on the way May 1st so I'm trying to get all the tools I want before the wallet is taken away;)

I'm gonna lock down nominations tonight and put up the voting poll. Will probably take me an hour to get the list together (unless someone wants to volunteer and compile the list with links / owner names for me ;))
