Just voted. 66Replica's Spartan works for me. Love the look. If it wasn't there, the KZ400 would be my choice, after the 360 of course. Exceptional results for all bikes all around. Will be a hard contest...
Here are a few pictures. (I no pro). This is the link to my thread. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=22980.460
The Back story is.............I saw this by neglected in someones yard, I picked it up with a title for $100. Spent all winter working on it in my basement. Thats about it. Thanks for looking

My dash is probably the most unique part of my bike so I thought i should have a picture of it. I used an aircraft airspeed indicator. I reads airspeed via pitot tube just below the headlight.

So many nice builds. I hate to self promote, but all you Chicago guys need to vote early and vote often. This build started as a pair of wheels, forks, seat and swingarm left over from another build. I was given a titled frame and started there.
Gold Wing tracker seat was extended and small compartment added
Tanks was modified to take a GSXR filler cap
Wheels rebuilt with DID alloy rims
Brakes form a Honda CBR600 mated to SV650 calipers and FZR400 master cylinder
Barrels ported and lightened.
Cylinder head machined to increase compression
Dyna S ignition with stock 35 year old coils
1 1/8" fat bars
Wired through the bars
New custom harness.
Electric starter removed and blocked off
A few holes drilled to lighten things
Cartridge emulators in the front forks
Side covers were thinned down two inches and moved forward a couple of inches and then they are wrapped in two layers of carbon fiber and the originals discarded
Battery had to shrink and move and a replacement injector oil tank from US Plastics
Modified front race plate from on of our racers. Bending it was fun.
Strader exhaust system that came with a bike that I bought from the original owner.
Other than that, its almost stock and it was a budget build and was mainly surplus parts left over from previous builds
My better half trying it for size
Does this seat make my ass look phat?
Trying to be artistic
It's all in the details

Millenium, That's a neat "speedo" not very accurate I would expect, but it's way cool.
Zonda, Those pipes make it.
66Rep. Nice paint and lots of great details.
Colon, Nice simple old school bobber look. No frills and hopefully no spills.
All very different and things to like about them all. Good luck everyone and remember - there are no losers. Anyone that can build a bike is a winner in my book.

Spartan, I really like your paint combo. Took that bike to another level. Cosmetically, I appreciate all of these bikes in a different way. So, my vote went to the one I would love to ride. 2-stroke smoke takes it every time, and if I owned that bike I'd buy back tires in bulk. Sweet.
