 Ichiban Moto I never claim to be much of a mechanic, and recognize my shortcomings. I about snorted my coffee through my nose wathing this guys DIY cafe racer build (it's about 20 video's so far). It's really funny. I've learned a lot of what not to do.

That is some dry humor there alright. Hey, let's see if the things runs first eh? Using the front axle tool trick on the handlebar riser cap bolts finished my humor for the day... The bike ran? What with one carburetor on silver alert?

Where can I get a set of screwdrivers like the ones he has. Very...ahem... Unique!
And I'm sure that the coffee filters over the pods held with duct tape will add a nice look the the bike. I'm thinking I should do that on all openings on my America. Waddaya think?

I only watched on video (part 6) but was thinking the same thing as Brent in that is has to be a joke. Not a wrench in sight but only good ol' vise grips to remove bolts. Hmmmm...
