What's going on now over at Ichiban Moto ?

Nice. But you might have been able to eliminate a lot of work if you had just put the cap on the tank when the gas was burning off. ;) PAHOOMP!



Jus' sayin'
 
Or you can just fill it full of water, plug both ends and stick it in the freezer with your peas.

Really like the welding the stud bit. That I'm definitely going to have to try!
 
And Tune-A's Gold Wing is going to look Bad Ass w/ that tank on it!
 
thats brilliant !! you had me chuklin' :)
i learned years ago on another planet how to use bic pen casings when for hot glue when you ran out of real sticks.a green bic lighter is preferd.....learned it all from some crank slammin' tweekers i did :-[

Hey, Ichi--I heard a rumor you had sourced a mid-70s era 3-stroke engine. What's the deal? Gonna make something awesome with it?

Made me chuckle. When I was in the 3rd or 4th grade a bunch of the guys in my class all got dirt bikes or 3 or 4 wheelers. One in particular had gotten an old Honda 3 wheeler. We asked him if it was a two or four stroke and his response was "it was a four stroke but one broke off so now it's a three stroke". Not sure, but the missing stroke probably could have been re attached with some green zip ties and assembly tape.

That sounds pretty serious, probably only JB Weld would do it. However... I heard that if you put a few green zip ties into a blender or coffee grinder and then mix that into the JB Weld before it cures it'll all be100/times stronger.
 
^^^^^^^^ brilliant

and has anyone explored the possibilities within the medical field for the use of green zip ties - holding broken bones together instead of titanium pins, use them as torniquets, holding bandages on instead of those dangerous safety pins, stomach banding, pinning sticky-out ears back, attaching splints, the uses are endless
and of course they have the added advantage of being sterile straight out of the pack

Good way to break a blender - unless you have blender blades made out of green ziptie.
 
Hey Ichiban,

I've been trying unsuccessfully to mount my awesome bad-ass iphone6 to my bars so I an use it as a bad-ass GPS, text my ladies, and watch bad-ass Ichiban youtube videos on long rides. Mainly I've used tape, chewing-gum and thumb-tacs but it's proving to be an engineering challenge beyond my skills, my last technique of a large nail seemed to hold the tape in place better that the chewing-gum but seems to have interrupted the functioning of the device to some degree. I only can watch black movies now, like solid black pictures, and my GPS seems to think it's always night and won't show the street-lighting.Can you help?

Bet you used an imperial nail on a metric phone? :/
thats a beginners mistake. Jeez.
 
I think he tried to use a generic nail rather than the apple brand nail.

You can't cut them off once applied, though. Serious weakness in your plan.

I still have just the flip phone- if you send me a new iphone6, I will make a diy bar mount video for everyone :D

I would but it's actually illegal to send bloody nails through USPS - I suggest cutting a 6"x3" piece of plywood for testing purposes - heck you can even get Mrs Ichiban to draw and nice picture of an apple on it, that would sure be fancy.

y'all are correct that i made the rookie mistake of using a non-apple imperial nail but I don't want to pull it out in case it stops working as a night time camera for all black photos.
