I spent half a day working on this, so I genuinely hope you all like it. I managed to get at least one picture from all of you that submitted. It took some creative cropping and resizing to ensure that every image fit somehow.

Special thanks to @CombatWombat for providing an emblem and some excellent advice.

Aww, @OleDirtyDoc , there's Bessie!

Is that @Buddy on the far left? Looks good, is that a KC light bar?

Erybody ID your bike, not sure I can name them all. Mine is second from far right on the bottom, under @dirtrack650 .

I don't recognize the one in the middle with the new logo, and I'm not sure about the one under Bessie and the one on the far right.

You did alright O', didn't think you would work the pics over as much as you did or I might've loaded you up with some choices. Appreciate your efforts, I know it took time.

I read the title, looked at the current banner... whut? it looks like the old banner? ...then I scrolled down.

Thanks, Spockster!

Which one's Doc's? He didn't submit one.

Second from left on top, used to be Wolfie's, now Doc has it. I just assumed he submitted it, but good pick.

It's got a batwing, fishtails, hard bags, forward controls, and '65 Impala tail lights. Love those tail lights on the bags, was shopping for some.

I love the new banner great work. My light bar I bought the mounting plate on eBay it was not branded the lights I supplied

Man you've really put some details on your bike, did you paint the tank and fenders?

I thought from that angle the light bar looked like those that KCQ2G used to build and sell here. Always wanted one but never got to it.

For ID purposes, that’s my bike right smack in the middle in black n white. 👍🏼

I always liked that pic😎

I love that pic, but it worked against me in the banner creation! 🤣 I couldn't crop too much of it or I'd have ruined it, but because it was such a unique shot, I did the best I could. It was also a little tricky working in CombatWombat's emblem, but in the end, I think it all worked out about as best as could be.

Keep snapping good pics, we'll do this again next year! I think when that comes, we'll try to limit the total images to 5 instead of seven. Should be able to fit 5 "squares" evenly in the dimensions without distortions.

The tank and fenders and black side covers I bought on eBay from a guy I paid under 100.00 shipped . The tank was clean inside and out so we’re the fenders I pin striped them with tape and the side covers looked black lacquer . I put them in lacquer remover and they turned out they were chrome. I got the tank with sending unit and petcock and gas cap and key. The Corbin seat I bought on Craig’s list in texas with back rest like brand new for 175.00 shipped. Most all parts came from online auctions etc I did a lot of surfing to find them. When I found a bargain I jumped on it.

Maybe I'm seeing a reflection of the sky on your tank and fenders, looks like a custom blue color, like midnight blue.

I know I'll kick myself for not getting that seat you had for sale.

Surprised the lacquer thinner didn't remove the chrome.

I scored a lot of deals on parts through eBay, must've caught it at it's peak.

I worked fast with the lacquer remover and the chrome is pretty thick plated on the plastic and it held up no issues

I think it's custom paint if I'm seeing the colors correctly. That shade of blue was never available that I know of. I like it. My favorite blue.

 

[OleDirtyDoc]

The first few are of Bessie. Then Melissa in her prime, the last two are Melissa Fayhe as she sits now

 

[O' Darkness]

Is that the infamous Wolfie in those pics?

Now that I think about it I have never seen a vn750 in any year with the same color. I got both fenders and gas tank from same guy. I never thought to ask him .

Love it, nice work everyone. My bike is on the bottom left, next to Buddy's decked out Vulcan. It's on a bridge near my home.
