Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build
That one is a classic and uses all the jet and slide drilling, jet blocking, spacer, discussions all taken together. And packaged in a bag complete with needle template and 220 grade sandpaper. Awesome work.
I need an icihban stocker to put on this restoration I'm doing. I predict a rush for those soon. I want to get in before the hipsters find out and all want them and drive the price up. In January when Bernacke and the Fed start to ease up on the QE bond purchase program, maybe some of the surplus $10b a month could be invested in Ichciban stickers.

That is just an oil syringe that came in the kit: to lubricate the carb linkage

Of course it would take Ichiban to finally solve the pod/CV carb debate. Where can I get some of that paper element?

Wow, Costco is selling Bad Ass Café parts now, who knew? Can you get assembly tape or tiny screwdriver there too?

I imagine many of the Chinese Metric tools can be bought there in bulk, which is good because the tools are one time use only and only good for one build before replacing them. The tape, green zipties, filter media, etc. can all be had there. I think Itchy is working on a deal to actually have complete badass cafe racers available through Costco. But you have to buy 10 at a time.

Re: Filter Pod element upgrade
Please don't use coffee filters and duct tape.
Only proper assembly tape should be carefully applied when installing custom paper elements over filter pods
