    Yes, I think when you finish the project and sit on that brat seat, it will definitely be 'bad ass'!

    At first i thought "what is this a joke? THIS IS SO STUPID" and then i saw how badass it is and i decided "hey its not stupid after all its pretty. ..... badass" ever since watching this video i thought id just do this to my whole bike. I have a 1982 honda goldwing and i decided to remove all the metal and replace it with adjustable rubber tubes spray painted black so now it looks badassss its so epic and cool and definitely reliable, but mostly. ...... its bad assssss

    Awesome idea with the heat lamp. I usually use a propane torch which I place closeby with some firegrade tape and leave overnight. But the heatlamp looks more practical. I will look for an LED one though, to save on electricity. Thanks for the great videos.

  • @Streetcrayon
    @Streetcrayon 8 років тому

    I took your idea of frame adjusters to another level. I installed them in the down tubes right off the neck of the bike. For the boxed backbone of my 07 Bonneville, I fabbed a boxed piece out of air conditioning duct. Now I can make adjustments on the fly. Do you think a steering damper will take out the "mushiness" I'm experiencing in the corners?

    • @IchibanMoto
      @IchibanMoto  8 років тому +1

      +Streetcrayon you need a fork brace in addition to the damper ;)

    • @Streetcrayon
      @Streetcrayon 8 років тому

      +Ichiban Moto I haven't seen all your videos, do you have one on fork brace installation? I was going to fab one up with bailing wire (titanium) of course, maybe you could do a video on proper installation or fabrication of a bad ass brace. Maybe tie it into the bike frame somehow.
