I love a good survivor bike it has character.

You say your entering it for Bike of the month , which is really a bit like a show us your new builds really ( not serious like Bike of the year ) :)
I entered my my Gen 1 ,but people may like the Burners better ,
so for one it's what catches people eye , not what it cost :)
Do what you want and feel is cool with restoration and builds
a good custom build ,a bit off the track, can be just what makes it special if done right
But also not to forget , resale value
basically once you change a component from its original appearance it loses resaleable value to most buyers
but this irrelavent if it's a keeper

Thanks all so far, i do appreciate all your comments. I think i am a bit wiser now. i think i will continue as i am from what you all say, piecing together what is probably a bit of a miss mach of parts that i like and remember, but keeping the concept of the bike clean looking and not to fussy. :LolLolLolLol:

Those are the words I was looking for :daumenhoch:
TBH a show bike does not have to be super bling and minty, some are but most are not - just build them up how you want and enjoy them :daumenhoch:

I am not building a bike specificaly to put on in for bike of the month, i am defo not in that leage, its just that when i eventuly, finish a build it would be nice to show everyone and get some feed back, a bit of recognition, as my wife just thinks i am going through a midlife crisis, a bike is a bike to her wether its pink black or white.
Cheers everyone :daumenhoch:
