RE: Now What ? BOTM
Nice bike. JMHO, but BOTM needs to be unique, unusual, something you don't see everyday. I wouldn't consider tacking on 100's of HD parts as meeting any of these criteria, but that's just my opinon (and you know what opinons are like.......)

For me, the bottom line is that you need to be happy with what you are doing with your scoot. Nobody elses opinion really matters. I agree it's a great feeling when someone compliments (or even just comments) on your bike. But as long as you are happy with it, that should be enough.

RE: Now What ? BOTM
Your bike looks nice, but it is lacking the custom paint job, custom wheels and those thinks that make it look like one-of-a-kind. BOTM is overrated anyhow, you're better off to just go out and enjoy the ride. If you like your bike, that is all that counts anyhow isn't it?

RE: Now What ? BOTM
If your adding things JUST to become BOTM worthy my opinion is your wasting your money and time. Make it how YOU want it and screw everyone else...I mean c'mon.....BOTM doesn't PAY anything anyway

This is just my opinion as well, but I think my RG meets all of your cirteria above: unique, unusual, and something you don't see everyday. That said, I still finished DFL in the January BOTM. I think over the past couple of years the BOTM contest has really stepped up. It's brutal. A lot depends on your competition. The month I ran, every other bike had a custom paint job. The bike that won was a ground up garage build by the owner. Truly an awesome bike. So while I completely agree with EVO80's comment, I think it's all that, and a little more to get over the top.
For me, the bottom line is that you need to be happy with what you are doing with your scoot. Nobody elses opinion really matters. I agree it's a great feeling when someone compliments (or even just comments) on your bike. But as long as you are happy with it, that should be enough.

A thing to remember is the votes are not real honest. Don't get me wrong the bikes that win are great bikes but sometimes people just vote for a bagger cause it's a bagger... By looking at the amount of posts on this entire forum, touring has more people = more wins or a better chance of it.

Last time I checked the BOTM prize money + $3.59 or so will buy you one gallon of 91 octane.
If it's the BOTM in your head than I say F'it and go buy yourself the biggest trophy you can find!
Nice SG.
