How 'bout a very subtly custom white FXRT? Moco never made a white one, especially not a Chevy white one.

joe

Don't say "Chevy" white. Call it something like "Tundra Frost Glacier Crystal" white. Sounds more custom.

I'm already planning my vote.

LOL, it actually does have a fancy name like that. I just forgot what it is.

Sett being such a high class kind of guy and all- I'm sure he'd like SOME of his votes to go to Greg, since he realizes that Buells need love too.

Yep, being a RK guy myself I'd say the Toad has a fine Stool to plant his azz on to be sure. Versatile and has received good mods and proper tlc.

And then.... FLT Shovel owners time and effort to bring the FLT back to its former glory (and beyond), along with the end result, is much of what I considered. Shovel's are a piece of history.... hence, my vote.
That's why I entered it.This bike was on the wrong side of its life when I picked it up.I can only imagine its sketchy past.I was determined to make it truly road worthy again.Your recognition and vote just adds to the satisfaction that I have been rewarded with since getting this bike back up to snuff.
The wrenching was all done by me with only the head and cylinder machining farmed out.Not being a shop owner I don't have the equipment.It still retains most of the factory engine parts that were either reworked or replaced.I didn't just drop in a replacement crate engine or transmission.I invested my time,energy and sometimes grief to get this Genuine Harley Davidson engine,trans,and bike back together.
It gobbles up the miles effortlessly and never lets me down in spite of being 37 years old now.

Of course I'm bias when I say this.However,this bike deserves votes for ride of the month.

This one is a real horse race. The two front runners have been neck to neck with third place stalking them a length back.

Well they are coming out of the last turn now, lets see who can pull it off at the line.

Let's remember that the top 2 go on to the year end finale, and one lucky chosen machine will also go on. There's room for all three to be forwarded.

I think aldean needs to enter the next one (custom paint) which will still be open until the end of the month.
