I guess I need to vote more.
2017 V-Twin Forum Ride of the Month - Event #5 Poll
OK here it is, the poll for event 5.
From this poll there will be two scooters advanced to the next rounds. Winner to the ROTY and second place to the run off event.
Then there is the vacant run off slot from last month that needs to be filled. I have decided to run a second poll after this one closes. All the 3rd place down scooters from event 5 will be entered. It'll be a fast little run off, about a week. And it will insure that the best scooter moves forward by allowing members to vote it in, even though they spent their vote on the event 5 poll. And it will give the folks entered a chance to make their case, or run their mouths, as to why their scooter should advance.
So here it is, time to choose the 2017 V-Twin Forum Ride of the Month - Event #5 winner and runner up.

Screw it, I feel like I haven't had enough losing lately, might as well try this one last time. And if no one else enters, I'm automatically forwarded for whatever that other part was. And yes it is the same entry from last year, haven't done anything else to it.

Model: Buell XB9R
Eng size:1050cc
Transmission(5sp, 6sp etc):5sp
Pipes:stock
Seat:stock
Wheels:stock
Accessories:
Where to start... White mirrors, dark tall windscreen, removed raised lettering and hand cut black reflective vinyl letters, same black vinyl around the headlights. Rebuilt top end to 1050cc bolt on big bore, XB12 throttle body, tuned with ECM Spy. White DEI exhaust wrap to accent the monochrome color scheme. Bullet LED turn signals with LED signal relay for proper blink rate. Replaced stock garbage headlights with custom self designed Hella Bi-Halogen projectors, wiring all done in fuse and relay boxes to look stock. Complete build thread on the light upgrade, half a thread on the 1050cc upgrade (got rushed with riding season and stopped documenting to finish the work).

I've had this bike since 2005. It now has 117,000 miles on it. I had a great paint job on it but then a shop dented my tank and nobody Could match the paint so I got it repainted. The new paint looked like crap and took over a year. Needless to say I got a major part of my money back and had it repainted again. 3rd times a charm! The paint is Kandy tangerine over silver flake base and champagne. The seat is Buffalo hide with Mercedes Leather. I'm happy to have my bike back again...
Before the new paint, I had a custom ordered S&S 124" installed. It's putting out 146HP and 142 TQ. It's a blast to ride now!!
