In this parody, we try a few methods I use to remove dents from motorcycle gas tanks . . These dent fix easy how to's remove dings and pull bad dents when using the right tools and processes. Handy for when an otherwise nice tank for café racer needs to be fixed. How to use zippy studs for paintless repair, puller hooks, weld on studs and slide hammer is included.
Warning: Do not try this at home. These methods should only be performed by a certified level five black belt motorcycle engineer. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
when using the weld on stud process on japanese or metric tanks, may i suggest using a European travel plug adapter if you are in the U.S. this will convert American electricity into metric electricity and provide a far stronger weld point. Obviously if you are working on a Harley Davidson then don't use metric electricity.
johnnycactus0 I just asked google and it said Euro metric electricity is twice as powerful as American SAE electricity? HOLY SH!T ! ... this opens a whole new world of shed possibilities ! thank you Mr. Cactus !
enjoy my friend...but please be safe!!!
Ichiban Moto As usual, well thought out and very informative. Was the assembly tape on the spot welder voltage grade, or will standard assembly tape work just as well. I hate throwing money away, as I am on a budget
It was standard, not full voltage grade as it was just a temporary connection. Thanks for pointing that out , we want everyone to be safe !
johnnycactus0 I have a Norton. Should I be using SAE or metric electricity? Is there a Whitworth adapter?
Had me with the first line: "Honda Goldwing tank"
Yeah really more like an XR
Same 😂
🤣 Definitely an old XR tank
I didn't mind at all
That's how I remove dents , seriously . Will be out of hospital in 2 weeks for my new vid : How to milk a cow with a Vacuum cleaner !
Lmao or catch porcupines while naked lol
The wires going into the mashed up power socket just killed me with laughter😂😂 😂 😆😆 😆
So glad this came into my recommendations!
I was blown away with the detail and workmanship along with a very rare skill set .. congrats.
why thank you ! It just takes experience and the right tools
Very nicely done!!!
watching your videos is like a breath of fresh air everybody's so busy and serious in this fast-paced world.
Good video.
Lots of useful tips on how to piss off trolls who don't see this as a funny joke and just good entertainment.
You Nomah Wahn Ichiban!
+James Demos hey thanks James !
I want to send you something. I just have to make sure it is creative enough to be worthy. And also a task worthy of your skilled hands and dynamite super pocket knife with the Diamond blade.
Nomah Wahn Ichiban!
I'm going to comment on all your videos with how crazy ingenious you are ...
Love this guy, so dry and serious. But so blatantly obvious at the same time!
tank dents are serious business
Haha I agree! Keep up the entertaining videos :)
"metric vice grips" :-D +10 points
.. of course. handas are metric bikes
XD i didnt see the word parody in the title and the entire time i was watching this i was thinking this guy cant be fucking serious
+Rebel Child Apparently many many people didn't see it, and their butts got hurt LMAO
Same here XD
Honda Goldwing tank clued me in. Then "metric" vice grips!!
I love the humor you mix in with solid advice. it makes the rigors of repair oh so much more enjoyable. thanks!!
I freaking love this guy! Dead pan delivery makes this joke video that much funnier. Only a fool would take this as serious. He's got other funnier videos.
Awesome instructional video, with great tips!!! I found it helps the welding part when you wash your hands thoroughly and weld while your hands are still wet. This prevents the oils in your skin from getting on the metal during the weld. Oh, it also helps to stand in a puddle so you know your feet aren't kicking up dust from the floor
prop tips!
This video is awesome! Thank you Ichiban Moto. This completely removed the hair from my brows and beard when I did the first step but the results were well worth it. No more gas in the tank! I used an old screw driver instead of the coat hanger and the circuit breaker kept tripping so I removed it and wired everything straight up and it worked beautifully. Holding the wires by hand was not a great experience the first few minutes but then after the burnt skin got hard it was much easier.
I REALLY LOVE THIS GUY , Because this is totaly original in humour ; reasons is that he is actually showing the truth in the way of doing it but actually all you have to do is just to use the proper materials and tools to accomplish what he says GREAT WORK !
Thanks a lot!! I can't believe how easy it is to do that. Thanks for showing!!!
"Tip" Put beer bottles on your fingers, hold them up.. look through while welding.
A comic masterpiece. Thank you.
Thanks for posting Ichiban! You pros always make this stuff look easy!
I just love the shape of those Goldwing gas tanks.
You sir are a true professional!
Thank you!
This is a refreshing alternative to the how-to videos where the guy goes on and on about safety issues. Great way to cull the stupid population. Keep 'em coming!
I've been doing tanks for over 35 years and his methods seem to work a lot better than mine. I suggest that you use his tank dent pulling system. One thing though instead of using 110 volts use 220 to weld the nail to the tank.
how about dont use either and look up a spot welder on ebay.. even the old microwave transformer spot welder on youtube..
+Troy Dawson What's wrong with you!... that won't work! what you really need is 440 volts that comes out behind your toaster.
+GREG GERHARDT nar mate, microwave nukes the toaster by far..
+Troy Dawson Well then I'll add in curling iron with the toaster. Beat that sucka!
yeah and turn the welder amperage all the way up ! lmao.....too funny
Lol I love the editing with your power drill and little baby scissors
I didn't read the whole title of the video before I started watching. When you said the tank was from a Gold Wing, I knew something was amiss. Very funny video.
Dude. I tried this a dozen times and knocked 3 of my Fukn teeth out !!!!
I just laughed my ass off till I cried watching this!!! Thank you for this video it made my day
The algorithm was beaten today and this 7 year old gem resurfaced!
Please restart the cafè racer project!
I'm filming things. Need to relearn editing tho
I have new stickers too. Send me an Instagram dm, I will mail you some stickers
@@IchibanMoto well thats just great news! 'Cept i dont do that instagram thing. Im of the pen n paper era. Maybe if you use 1 as a thumbnail i can screenshot it n then trace it onto some really rubbish chy-naa pc paper....
10K comedians
LOL
Great body work on the tank. Keep em coming
What a comedian.. you almost had me for a minute
Alan Reams thanks for watching !
Everything was all good and funny until he cut that sanding disc right out of the middle of the paper, that's when my OCD kicked in.
ipissed No shit what a waste!
ipissed lmfao
ipissed - Now I don't feel so bad ;-)
ikr!!!i was like,why would anyone cut in the middle when they could use the edge??🤕🤕
Sum one going to try that and won't see tomorrow,
I restore sars for a living and this IS THE BEST AND MOST BRILLIANT film on this subject I have EVER SEEN!!! KUDOS!!
it's fourtwentylicious !
This guy is just brilliant , how he keeps from laughing i'll never know
This video is misleading. Repairs are always easy when using professional tools as used here. The problem is the average hobbyist haven't got access to this level of expensive specialist tools!
Funniest thing I've read all night! Bwahahahahahaha!!!!
MacKreggin It´s Badass!!
this is fake, there is no way it could work. it purposefully gets more ridiculous until the end , which doesn't even claim to do anything lol
JTR we know. But thanks for pointing out the obvious.
JTR Actually, the beauty of Ichiban´s spoofs is he is not THAT far off. There ARE in fact specialist tools for this procedure, and they do work beautifully.
Third time I've come across Mr. Badass. LOL This guy is a trip! Its like he never quite made it out of middle school emotionally or mentally. But, then again, I can say that about most people I meet. Gotta remember Ichiban Moto is just a series of comedy routines.
I love this video. One of the best on the internet. Very, very helpful.
I love it when you troll them and they still complain!
LOL Need to get myself a set of those multi-purpose mini-scissors. Those are bad ass.
patryk996 vintage diamond blade shears
patryk996 they cut anything that shit had me tripping LOL
This is the best therapy for
Muffler bearing trauma I've ever
had ,the COMMENTS are worth
Millions, depending on what
currency U use.!!!!
THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!
Even though I wondered about Tuna-fish's "Gold-wing tank", you had me fooled for the first minute. Absolutely brilliant!
4:20 You just KNOW somebody's gonna try to weld like that.
i bet someone has already tried 😂😂
Lol
It blows the breaker. Ask me how I know.
It's sad that you have to put parody in the title for people to realize it. Even then some people can't figure it out lol. Anways, I think your vids are......badass haha
I would tend to agree. But for this video, since it includes the welding technique, the small disclaimer was probably smart. I have not read a lot of the comments, but I am guessing people are giving him a hard time on safety. The first video I watched was his rock tumbler. I thought he was just old school until the nail scissors came out. lol
Some idiot will try doing this process then try to sue so satire disclaimer is necessary
Smiling!
I know it's been 8 years but it gave me a good laugh, thanks.
Dude "YOU THE MAN" excellent job, possibly best video I ever saw
You use so advanced technology, that you should do "behind the scenes" series.
Dude. I havent laughed this hard in a really long time. GG
What a bad ass old man with some crazy ideas love it, want to see more and more!
Man, you are old school! The way it had to be done back when. I enjoyed this video very much.
Wow. You must have a mission to thin out the idiots.
Honda Goldwing tank, lol....
+AimlessMoto Thought the same thing thats a xl tank
think it a 125 XL tank .He knows his stuff !! NOT !!
Andrew Felcey yea me too I have a '78 xl125
+AimlessMoto It's an XL tank, but no way to tell off what capacity, as they are all pretty much the same size regardless of CCs.
Lol, true. Dodgy Brothers
Badass! I have set of those same Metric Visegrips, but never knew what I could use them for..
All the rags in the background throwing a lit match in the fuel tank skit was zany.
To everyone who is offering their negative feedback, I don't understand. I have been following the videos and using his techniques with great results. The only think I find fault with is using the bare wire in the outlet. This is extremely dangerous! You must use two metal paperclips and attach the wire to them first. then easily insert into the socket. Obviously he has never has yet to have a strand of wire bend back and lodge under his fingernail. I literally shuddered watching him stick the wire into the outlet without paperclips.
i need to find some metric paper clips
You can also enter a firecracker and close the cap. It works quite well
video please !
It'd be better then this shit he did to pull dents.....
(: Post Deleted Due To Public Safety Concerns :)
You, sir, are the king of DIY.
That was freaking awesome. You are the best repairman EVER! My sides are hurting.
nobody likes dents
You high-tech kids! I remember back in the day; we had to blow dents out with our lungs, and we didn't even have gas tanks.
Jerry Sollien
So u think this Dude is serious using a 1920 Hand Drill ?
Friggn Hilarious
We never could even AFFORD dents.
A sure fire way is to put water in the tank put the cap on and wedge it in the microwave for 10 to 15 mins, this works 1/100 times.
I shall try that !
Dont Put Metal in the science oven!
Love it.
Love it
I showed this to my wife.
We do most of this stuff on the kitchen table.
Now she realises l am not the only lunatic in the world.
Awesome sense of humor, thanks for making my day.
Very well done! ;~)
Way too much work and a waste of gasoline. try this next time. Instead of burning the gas off at the beginning, make it your friend. Seal the cap on the tank and then run you electrical wires in through the bottom. Then plug it in and let it arc and spark. That should blow the dents out. e sure you have enough gasoline in to do the job, but not enough to blow it up. That's the tricky part.
+Doby Pilgrim Subscribing now...Keep these great tips coming, Ichiban!!!
Lol, on this site, I probably am!
+Doby Pilgrim Does that really work? I'd like to see a video
BEST REPLY EVER!
Good job Itchyban! I'm renovating a foot & inches motorbicycle but I think I'll still be able to use some of your tips & tricks. I'm really looking forward to trying out these dent pulling methods this weekend - especially the electric weldy one. I just hope it doesn't rain this weekend because my workshop roof leaks and the floor gets terribly wet.
Bad ass!
Love your video's!, great powertools and always big on safety too.. BADASS!
For the people that think he is doing all the work with the homemade tools!!!?? Really??? Troll level.... 100000000000000000
Hahaha this is gold (24k)
I like how your fingers are resistant to the electricity from the wall socket, That must be the reason only a black belt mechanic should try this. and my Swiss army scissors aren't quite as good as yours hahahah. you really must patent those boogers they cut wicked good. Thanks for the vid tho
+Lucky Devil my grandfather brought those swiss diamond blade shears back from the war
I love these methods and I will be putting them to work shortly. Thank you
great parody, some of the serious comments are just as funny!
you had me right up to the hot glue ,thanks for the good laugh
+Michael Sylvester I love hot glue
+Michael Sylvester lol, indeed. first i thought: huh? but love the way he confuses so many people. nice sander and scissor btw :D
This guy has obviously never heard of Magic Powder...... You sprinkle it over the tank and the next morning your tank will look as good as new again. Simple. It's not cheap but it saves you a lot of work. You can buy this powder at your local Goblin store or ask any elf where to buy it.
+telescopereplicator I have more time than money.. but I do need to stop by that store and have a lookiloo around :)
+telescopereplicator Damn bro... I didn't read the last sentence in your comment and actually searched for dent removal Magic Powder on ebay
+Aarun .....Damn bro......I'm looking for a proper response, but.....damn..... ;-) ;-)(The video itself is full of nonsense, so that should have activated a few alarm bells.....??!!) ;-)
+telescopereplicator Stop trolling man... It's a good video.
This video made me laugh all the way through it. Kudos good sir. Kudos.
Mathew sent me here,,, good vid!! What a great sense of humor!!
I've looked all over but can't find them, did you have to go to an imports tool shop for your metric vise grips?
+stinkydaddy131 ... I just pick up used ones at tool jumbles
+John Shagawat even the fancy expensive kits use glue sticks, look up the dent fix DM550DX kit :)
+John Shagawat of course ! Hondas are metric :)
I've always wanted to get into welding, is this method okay for frame building?
The Gentleman Biker Using a 220 volt circuit would probably be more effective for welding than 110v.
Would that make it easier to blow through though? I plan to build an ultra light bike from that sheet metal you wrap turkey in.
The Gentleman Biker Could you possibly test on some scrap sheet metal first? Maybe with 110v using an American adapter ? and if that doesn't blow through, then try full euro metric voltage? I'm going to test the opposite of this with the recommendation from johnnycactus0 since I have only 110 volts here.
Ichiban Moto Turns out the Mrs doesn't want me building tin foil frames in the kitchen. So it will now have to run off of a car battery :o
The Gentleman Biker Yes use Coat hanger and 12 volt car battery!
Dude! I was all in till your welding magic! Lol.
LOl! Metric vice grips..LOL this guy,s humor!! I just wish I had the precision tools like his!!!! LMAO
Lol. R u trying to kill people!
what in the name of homemade fuck?
It has been over twenty five years since SNL was funny.. They need to hire this guy!!...
This is gold I just love the sanding disc technique
hey, why not try a safer way, fill it with water, put the cap on, and put in freezer, overnight it will expand and push out the dents. try it!
a friend tried that and his welded seams popped too
Left it in to long, maybe?
Monitor ever 30 minutes once the water begins to freeze or you will expand further than you would like. Remove as soon as the dent is corrected. DO NOT LEAVE OVER NIGHT!!
Too much water
@@1scottdees Damn! Read that too late and left my wife in overnight Debts are gone, but...............
METHYL-ETHEL-CASETONE Lol
This is some funny stuff, hope no one is killed!
lol that was an awesome job! Tuna Fish is going to be so happy!
So glad I found this channel 🤣🤣🤣
My god! He could cut that metal nail with his tiny Swiss sesior... And that dyi diamond paper revolving thing... 😜
+vikash kashyap diamond blade shears
"Metric" Vise grips???? LOL!!!
+Serafin Silva it's important to use the right tool for the job
I agree. But those specialty tools are difficult to find. Try looking for a left hand monkey wrench, or a 1/2" Hyster.
i'm concerned, I have a japanese bike but only metric or SAE vice grips.. think I need to order some JIS vice grips direct from japan to work on my bike
Yeah I had to stop watching it there....wadda dumbfuck
I tried this method and it works great. You don't always need top end tools to do good work. Don't knock it till You try for yourself. Funny, the people criticizing are the ones who probably can't even change their own oil.....Thanks, very helpful....
I have a video on how to change oil too....
Hilarious 😂 😂😂 loved the drill. Now I’m hooked 👍
What if I only have SAE vice grips?
I use my standard Vice grips on Harleys - Hes working a honda tank
+Middle Path
Just turn them over; you will probably notice that they are "10 INCH" on one side and "250 mm" on the other. This is especially true for adjustable "Crescent" wrenches.
They will only work on a Harley or similar USA tank,not Honda
from the spark from the plug cant be true i am an electrician and i can telyou 2 thing 1 do that you will pop the fuse or breaker each time 2 the spark was from 12 volts not 120volt in 40 year i seen many 120 spark to know
+ray tru I plugged into power, not volts
power is votsx amps =power homs law e=ri
+ray tru I don't even know what a votsx is :/
+Ichiban Moto its a simple electrical marth exemple 12volts multiply by 5 amps give you the power witch is watts would be 60 watts that is the power
+ray tru marth seems confusing, I avoid volts and just use regular plug in power
I love how you got the gasoline out of the tank! Ill have to make myself a sander like that! Really took the paint and epoxy right off!
Gotta love the part where he throws a match into the tank, and welding from a wall socket. Holy shit! Faarking beautiful!
safety first
I need a diamond bladed swiss army knife like he's got. those scissors cut thru nails like butter.
+Yoyosten99 hmm.. marketing idea- diamond blade butter knives :)
i beleived everything he did in the vdo until i watched it again after reading he comments. i feel stupid now.
+Husain Patanwala
Do you still have your eyebrows?
Don't feel bad, I almost fell for it too. Glad you can take it as fun.
+James Demos luckily i always read the feedback and testimonials first bfore trying new methods ; )
Husain Patanwala
I am sure you do and I was just teasing, trying to be funny.
It is a funny video.
+James Demos cheers! i was on fun pills too...
+Husain Patanwala +James Demos I'll trade you some Ichiban stickers for some fun pills :o
Damn! I knew I was doing it wrong. Never listen to your little girl when it comes to dent removal. She told me to lure Pixies and fairies into the tank by laying a trail of sugar cubes from the bottom of the garden where they live, all that way to the shed where I kept the dented tank.
"When the pixies and the fairies get inside the tank put a lid on it. You can make a lid with pastry," she said.
I did that and nothing happened but my little girl said I just have to be patient and they will beat out the dents from the inside if I just sing to them.
I spent a year in my shed singing to my bike tank but it failed. I am starting to think there never were any fairies or pixies in my tank at all. I am going to do it like this now, so thanks man. That's bad ass.
Burn off the excess fuel was a good tip, i didn't think of that. Thank you Ichiban.
I'm always laughing hard at your videos, but I'm serious when I say some 16 year old really could kill himself. They don't teach anything of this nature in schools anymore, and most kids have been sheltered away by their parents. Kids these days honestly might not know just how dangerous this stuff is because they don't have a real father that teaches them. I know it isn't your fault they are ignorant but it isn't really there fault either, but they will pay the price.
as someone already mentioned, it's darwin's natural selection and very refreshing too
FontediCalore Nature selection would imply that they are actually just stupid, but that isn't the case for some young sheltered kid. If you have never been exposed to it and/or been taught it, you are just ignorant, but not necessarily stupid.
+ Mr. E Nature selection will take anyone that's not paying attention, not necessarily the idiot ones. Yes maybe the match inside the tank is a little too much, lol. Believe me or not, when I was 16 I would happily put a match to a tank, so long as it is totally full it just lights the tiny bit at the top, go on try it yourself :)
I thought it was funny. But seriously the 16 year old might not try the egg beater and sandpaper but he's likely to throw a match into a gas tank. Heck anybody might try that.
James Fuller you know what? in the USA a 16 years old can drive a V12 Mustang. And many of them do. Now what's wrong to showing the same exact kids to see what happens when you put a match to a tank? after all with the Mustang they might kill an entire FAMILY! Unlikely with the match!
Does my reasoning seem LOGIC to you?
Dang it. I'm never 100% sure if I should take you seriously or not.. Or 90%.. or 50%..
+Scott Hildenbrand 50% sounds about right.
The basic principles are not wrong.
- Do not work on a tank with gas fumes in it
- Pull the dents out with a slide hammer
- Cut thick metal wires with your Victorinox scissors
Thanks!!! Every step worked out like a charm...
Badass indeed! Another great tutorial!
