Re: Ichiban Moto : Yamaha 500 cafe racer build
If anyone is stupid enough to think this is best practice then that's their problem, and they perhaps shouldn't be owning a motorcycle anyway..
I mean I have absolutely no mechanical background or discernible skills mechanics, but even I can tell that this is all a farce!

The sad part is that all of the things portrayed in this thread were taken from things actually done by noobs on other builds from this forum as pointed out to me by Ichiban. That's scary enough. What's more scary are the replies from posters seriously trying to correct Ichibans methods as though they were real. You're right, and it shows my age some, to see these ridiculous things done by noobs in the hopes of building a "really awesome looking cafe bike". It scares me reading some of these build threads at a times knowing how inherently dangerous bikes are to begin with and then destroying every safety feature build into them in the name of "a look" or being part of "a scene"

Love the prison shank pry tool and egg beater drill. That seat cover should fetch a pretty penny Ich. Learning a ton from these videos. Keep them coming. I'd watch these any day over that cafe racer show.

While this could be true, in the end it is impossible to protect the truly stupid from themselves.

So I've just skipped around this thread and after watching numerous videos, of which are both hilarious and very inventive (at times). The Krazy glue or rather the assembly glue, made me laugh as did the "dirtification" of the the carb bowls.
I'm interested to see this thing when it's done. Despite the insanely funny tone of the videos, you can't hide skill (even behind "thingy" terminology and very well done video cuts) and I think this bike is gonna be a hoot!

Putting the float bowl from the pristine carb on to the rotten old carb instead of just using the new carb was genius.
