God damn it Ichi, I have been waiting for this moment for weeks and the battery is dead? What the hell. Good thinking with the dirt though, you should have tried running assembly glue instead of hairspray then it would have stuck better at 120mph.

Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

Damnit I need more dirt in my carb.

I love that you changed the scale on the tach.
Thats the funniest thing you've done so far.

Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

Love it. I was way over-thinking how to raise the redline of an engine, its so simple, thanks!

Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

I was wondering also how much horsepower that new face developed, must be a ton.
