When you crash don't land on your face! That's badass advice!
you are very welcome ! 🚵
Ive never been able to convince myself to wear anything but a full helmet. Always kind of made the same amount of sense to me as wearing one glove....
makes sense. never saw Michael Jackson riding a motorbike
+Ichiban Moto ..lol.. made my day mr Ichiban!!
You had me at open coat diamond paper
it's the good stuff
If Liberace rode a motorcycle. I could totally see him rocking this helmet.
With a candleabra on top of course! ;-)
Love how safe you are with the the spraying, while literally making a Death lid! 😹
Those were some solid scissors you had there, helmet looks beast !
those are diamond blade shears ps- Cheeeaaaaah !
I can't wait to do my whole bike!
you totally need to make a matching superhero cape brother !
great riding tip! make sure you don't crash on your face, crash on the side or the top of your head. I think a lot of people are forgetting the proper way to crash now a days, which can be very dangerous if not done correctly! thanks for the reminder!
is it possible to modify a wagon so I can take my baby on rides with me? it's hard to find a sitter.
of course, but it would need a triple jointed gyro gimbal hitch for safe WR freeway wheelies . Maybe finished in bad ass pink metal flake?
"Just dont land on the front of your face, land on the side or top" had me dying
good tip
Amazed at the hi tech tools you use. Nice to see such hi quality work being done....
no short cuts here !
You're awesome man ! This will help out so many of them chopper builders!
i wonder if they will post this on chopcult
''helmet modifications may void warranties''
Excellent video!I think I'll practice on a buddy's helmet first. He's out of town now.
brilliant ! and you can invoice him for the custom work
Love your work.
Don't know whether you meant it to be funny but I laughed all the way! Totally enjoyed the video. Thanks!
lol i haven't seen this one in awhile . all of my videos are pretty much like this
@@IchibanMoto Ya I just watched the one where you change tires. That too is hilarious. I'm not saying the method is wrong though. Hehe. Hey, keep it up dude!
We don't have aluminum in the uk, would it be ok to use aluminium as a substitute?
I have zero experience with aluminium .. test and report back please!
glitter
+Ichiban Moto I had to go for tin foil in the end. Seems to work ok apart from the fact that I forgot to remove the visor and now have a mirror tint effect that blocks 99.9% light! Not great for rainy Scotlandshire.
Can't you just drill eye holes into the now opaque visor...? You could then use clear motorcycle assembly tape to stick sunglasses lenses over the holes in summer?
Xx
Jon Laws dammit you beat me to it
Pretty sure the flake will keep aliens from reading your mind too!
Awesome job on the helmet. He is going to be happy and 👍proud!
Man I can't stop laughing my mum made me a Buck Rodgers helmet like this out of a baseball helmet in 1984 for a school dress up party I wish I still had it. Your channel rocks
there is a waiting list right now, however send your helmet in for customization !
once again bad ass
I've never seen precision lines quite that precise. Bad. Ass.
precise lines results in precise cuts
love your videos keep it up. the most badass stuff on the tube
why thank you sir !
It’s really awesome modification 👏
I'm so glad to see that true craftsmanship has survived.
You have excelled yourself this time my friend, you will be inundated with requests from other people to rejuvenate there old helmets. I like to keep a clean helmet and often polish mine until I am satisfied with it, but I would never contemplate touching another man's helmet!
I'm a professional... so seen one, seen 'em all
It's like an episode of American Chopper, I bet Paul Junior was green with envy after watching this vid.
Paul Jr. pissed at itchie bum for leaking out customization secrets.
American chopper don't have Ichiban stickers... that's one reason I never shop there.
this video useless fucker remove this video
Mohamed haroon this video is inspirational! I have now modded all my best helmets like this. Badass
Thats the most Badass helmet I've seen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thank Ichiban
get your name on the list!
sweet! thats pretty badass! I did the same but the sandpapering took quite a while to complete.
portions of real time activities may have been edited or omitted in an effort to keep viewers conscious
I always new you could make some pretty badass glitter out of aluminium!!
metal flake
Great video!
Great work! That trim was a nice touch.
I know, right?
I nearly shat myself after getting a look at yet another totally bad-ass project done by the master himself.
badass video and helmet. thanks for sharing.
Cool! Thats simple, thanx for the idea
👍
would love to see a badass flake leather jacket as well. hehe
oh yes, please send me your jacket to customize ✂
Perfect attire for being shot out of a huge compressed air canon into a net...or into the side of a canyon maybe. I'd buy that for a dollar!
awesome!
no, you are awesome ! I use that badass screwdriver you sent me every day !
In the UK, the open-face helmet is known as a piss-pot helmet. Personally I think open-face is more apt as after an accident where you might go head first down the road, doctors will also describe your injuries as "open-face"
The Slap Chop killed me!
duuude! sweet and badass!!! i love it!!......i always learn something with your vids my friend -never seen a slap chop before!!!!!!! totally bad ass!!!!
Mr cactus! I will probably need to buy the Mrs. a new one and keep this for flake production: www.slapchop.com/
oh yeah!!!! awesome bit of kit!!
I'm saving up those chocolate bar foils to do one in bad ass GOLD flake
ha ha ha!!
Too bad they don't offer paying in instalments
"Just make sure, when you crash, you don't land on your face" Classic advise!!!!!!!
seems simple, but it works !
Truly fabulous. My missus doesn't have one of those choppy things, but I'm sure I could just wack the alu foil in the smoothie maker right? It's a shame they don't sell gold foil at the super market. I was thinking AndyManCam needed a bit more bling!! Tremendous and inspirational DIY work, as ever.
I'm actually collecting up bits of the gold chocolate candy foil wrappers
got my stickers!!!.they are badass.!!!!
wow man , I wish I had your sanding skills.........scratchless!
practice
Hey Ichiban, will the loominum be damaged in those unfortunate road rage incidents when you have to apply a gentle headbutt? I'd hate to damage such fine craftsmanship, that really is spectacular work! Did you hold classes?
This is fucking hilarious, almost died when he brought out the scissors.
diamond blade shears
made for swiss army
Seriously, this video made me laugh out loud. Way more entertaining than 99% of motorcycle video.
the trim on the curves dint quite fit well 5:26. Is it always gonna be like that?
Wish i could have one of these helmet... Sooo bad ass
Bad Ass man you the bad boy of the custom scene
I SHOULD GET ONE TO WEAR WITH MY 12T BEDAZZLE T-SHIRT!
nice one. 👌
thanks u so much
Could you do something similar with pasta shells? The very little ones you get? I have an Italian bike (Yamaha Veniciana) and I think a pasta helmet would look totally bad ass, pay tribute to the ingenuity of the Italian People, and also it would break up on impact to help protect my brains. What would you seal it with though? Some kind of carbonara epoxy?
i did some testing, so yes
Where do you buy/get the trimming???
Thank you for thinking of us in the UK struggling to source aluminum. But instead of ordering aluminum from the states, do you think we can use aluminium instead ?
I have no experience with that stuff. Could you send me some to test?
I can't do these kinds of restoration/modifications without the type of scissors you used
Everyone needs a bad ass helmet like that....
there is currently a waiting list... get your in today !
Cool project!!! And as an added value you can always get a job as a human disco mirror ball. By the way, love your coffee pot. Must be something before electricity.
maybe open a disco cafe coffee bar ?
Now we're talking. With a retro ambient but with today's prices, otherwise you will go broke and will have to apply for Chapter 11 or something similar.
Where can I get some of the aluminum trim?
Thanks!
I think it came from Nickel Town Customs
bad ass indeed!
I'm not going to diss the quality of a man's work, but damn you talk about using rusted and sometimes "bootleg" tools and materials to get the job done.
You work with what ya got lol.
It's Mad-Max 1 meets Silver dream racer! David Essex or the Goose? It's a tough call. Perhaps they could share?
after this vid was released, the waiting time for custom helmets is now 26 weeks
How many hours you do it this and you have this size...?
This was fun 🤣
Did you find that 2 part spray epoxy at Nickel Town Customs or do they have it at Ace Hardware?
nickel town !
+Ichiban Moto A plane crashed here today. The pilot could have used this helmet.
if not a helmet, at least a parachute ! ✈
Is Methyl Ethyl Kacetone a compound known by the State of California to cause cancer?
If so, would it be safe to use in Oregon, or Nevada?
I am not aware of California regulations, however according to the MSDS sheet, the only thing you can not do with it is drink it or sniff it. Or touch it. Or put it in your eyeball.
thanks a lot dude.!!!
did your stickers arrive in the mail?
+Ichiban Moto yup
+Ichiban Moto I already put it on my laptop
🖒 badass!
yup..badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a cool stuff! Unfortunately after couple incidents with diamond paper they are forbidden in my country :)
where are you from?
Brasil, living in Poland :)
I've been looking for some of the bad ass tools you have demonstrated on all of your videos. All I can find is the junk tools from Snap On, Mac, MATCO, and others. I need to know where to get the heavy duty screwdriver and that bad ass scissors you frequently use. For your videos, I will give you 5 stickers! hahahaha
see my video on how to make screwdrivers if you want to craft a set for yourself. my grandpa brought the vintage swiss diamond blade shears back from the great war. those are hard to find.
Now that is Bad Ass for sure!
ask about our "10% off" moto-vlogger discount when sending in your helmet to be customized
I can see newbie do this. lol. Why didn’t mine work. Very good
All this time you've been on here and you never let on the the spork doubled up as a accurate straight edge BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAdAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAs!
oh yes! when precise precision is required, there are no shortcuts
i wanna get a screwdriver like yours and that amazing scissor . then i will try to done bad ass stuff like you ... cheers man !
i have a video on making those screw drivers :D
I have a bunch of buddies who are going to go green when they realize thay paid top dollar for a flake-finish open face when they could have done it for a fraction of the cost.
By the way - do you think Kaiser Wilhelm II was a café racer ?
I thought he was a hipster
But did you send the extra to bxD?
Fz06 Ridah ACC I sent it to back road moto
Want finer flake? Stick blender works fantastic! :P
five out of five stickers :DDD
it's that bad ass. probably.
you should have had like an inch gap in the back of the helmet
"and the chrome seam is almost unnoticeable."
Damn thoses scisors are sharp loooool
I use toothpaste to fill holes on my helmet and as the wind brushes past it smells minty
does that require a forge ?
Ichiban Moto most of the time yes but I can teach a way without a forge
+Diesineveryfilm Customs .....and that's exactly why I subscribe to your badass awesome channel ! 🗡
Ichiban Moto and the same goes sir we help each other out teaching our skillz.
See how I used a Z instead of an S that's a little trick you can also use 👍🏼
Did Vince give you that slap chop? A shameless plug for his device. Surprised he did not give you a schticky for removing the excess alumaflake then polish it with a Shamwow.
The best yet...I have one of these helmets at home...my future is now assured with the ladies..which female is not going to be dazzled and wowed when I ride out with a sparkly helmet...Thanks Mr Ichiban
my wife is still mad about the slap chop
......and making that seat cover from her leather jacket !
Exactly...after all its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission ;-)
+1madboiler 👍
+Ichiban Moto ouuh,..the leather jacket!!.. yeah that can be touchy for years, right!!
my wife are always nagging about her boots, ..the heels..
She found them like scrambled eggs on each side of my shiny mufflers. .
Ichiban, that is a bad ass custom helmet! Can you take a half helmet and make a full face, modular custom?
oh yes! send me your helmet to mod. what color flake would you like?
Sorry Ichiban I don't actually own a half helmet. I just thought it would be cool if you could take a half helmet and turn it into a modular. I'm sure it would meet all DOT specs! Black flake with a silver race stripe down the middle would be sweet!
thank you for your custom helmet order
BADAAAS x2
You said your using hair spray as glue, how ever you have a can of some kind of Rustolium paint, and thos flake is not aluminum foil.
try not to crash on your face. lmao. classic
that's a solid tip right there
For extra protection use epoxy and dip in that cat box of yours
It will dry like granite
That is so cool! Saw a Harley owner the other day with the required open face helmet,sunglasses and bandana. The only thing missing was the required beard! I suppose she could buy a stick on one? Then I get to thinking,if you could buy with your bike a pre made Harley face attitude it would save so much time. An open face helmet with built in bandana,sunglasses and beard? Pop it on and instant bad ass! A matching set of slip on tattoo sleeves would save pain and money and make image and lifestyle changes easy!,gloves with built n rings? What you think? Badass on Sunday, lawyer on Monday!
we have thousands of "RUB"s riding Harleys around here on the weekends... all dressed up in black leather pirate costumes. I would say you are on to something here , there is a huge "Rich Urban Biker " population to market to.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssss!!!!!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
I cant stop laughing. The helmet of shame. Wear it! Haha!!!
Modifying a factory helmet to me not a good idea.
Carl A your right it's not a good idea. It's a badass idea.
amazing that helmet is very cool but never protect in case of an accident, it is very nice to joke, but when it comes to safety leave it to experts. great video anyway! Bless
that's right. safety is for the experts. i don't have anything to do with it.
I heard methyl ethel on the radio last week
The hooker at the end of our street is called Ethel Methyl.
Is there anything you can't do?
hmmm... I'll have to think about that
oh, Forgot to mention I'm feeling a bit flakey after seeing this vid!
it made me sparkly
Wtf haha I want one
there is a waiting list
+Ichiban Moto hahaha cool
I have not received your helmet, is there a tracking number? ;)
Funny as fuck
Bad ass helmet
Make sure when you crash you don't land on your face!. lol
that's excellent advice
awesome mod but .... metal flake? dude it's homemade glitter. Its not like glitter is expensive and it comes in other colors with less prep. If you're man enough to wear it you should be man enough to call it what it is - GLITTER
megan larive there was this guy from the 70's n he was into glitter, he had a whole suit made of it.....and a pop band in the same gear......
....the kids really loved him.....no wait.... he loved.....uuuh....
