I liked how you tried to mount the shock off the wrong point and later dropped your shock a few feet to the ground.

Watching this makes me so sad; donor bikes are hard to find in Australia and someone else could have actually done a nice job with the build. You're making a death trap.

If your countrymen had half the vision this guy does maybe they wouldn't have been shipped off to a penal colony and abandoned.

I'm not a welder or custom fabricator but his thread has inspired me to give welding classes.

All of the safety upgrades are in the build videos I posted :D

I want to take it for a test ride.... but I still don't have the carb part to get the engine started...

....so I'm going to look at maybe modifying the electrical wires and have also been thinking about trying some other mods I have seen online.
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

This weekend, I was doing some dumpster diving...looking for scraps and usable junk found a trick air hose :D !

I put it to good use , then uploaded the video for you here:

Ingenious, its like watching Leonardo da Vinci in modern times. I really like the vice grip/razor blade cutting tool, may have to steal that idea.
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

Ingenious!!! Here is a thought for you to try. If you got a little over 100psi in that little motorcycle tire just imagine what you could get in a car tire or better yet if you or your buddy has an oversized truck tire you could easily get 250 psi in it. I cannot believe nobody has thought of this before. You really should patent this idea.

Because the place that made the tank didn't know where my pipes went. I'm going to wrap the pipes with header wrap.....NOT. Besides, my bike is way too cool to burn me. ;D Thanks for your concern though.

Seriously, I just haven't put the heat shields back on them yet:

these video's are actually beginning to piss me off. seriously, where in the world do you come up with these fucking ideas!? You need to take that bike to the scrap yard, take the $10 that they give you, and finish getting your GED because there is no frigging way they let someone with this kind of logic graduate high school.

Come on though, drill though the frame, not make a hoop to connect both sides of the frame, "lower it for better handling", AIR TOOLS POWERED BY YOUR TIRE?!?!?! this thread has nearly as much fail as all the fucking morons that "stance" their cars.

Really, who is the fucking moron here?
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

..........only 140~150psi
didn't happen, at least not with a hand pump ::)
Yamaha say the rim can crack if more than 60psi is used, there were multiple safety warning 'back in the day'
Micro cracks can start at the base of spokes when rim is 'compressed'
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

a feller could get free tires n rims off cragslst then on the way home charge em up at the fillin station, bam, free air
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

The words free and air are funny together....
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

Around here the free air at the filling station costs $.50

No need to rant, it's a spoof

To be honest, I'm just not finding it funny any longer.
We can all see where it's going but I know there are way too many people who think it was on the internet so it's OK to do real dumb shit, particularly as so many people have the attention span of a cockroach so won't read any comments just watch the pretty pictures ::)
Look how many people fitted Firestone tyres because they saw it on internet, even though they are really for 1930~40 Harley and Indian restorations and work about as well as a chocolate teapot in the real world
 
Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build

Mmm chocolate tea. That sounds like it would go great with scotch in it. Nice thinking PJ.

Really I am glad he has posted videos rather than pictures. I won't watch them... but at least they are not taking up DTT server space.
