This was a good watch, but more impressed with how you managed to not get anything on your clothing. I look at my bike and get dirty.

[@prolly537]

Me too...by both means...not my fault she's just f-ing hot....

[@El33G33kGoat]

Dude, I feel I must subscribe Proper "Gentlemanly bike builder" vibe. How all of YT should be. Rare to find people whom appreciate the beauty of every subtle step. Much respect on the East coast of the UK.

[@jakem20]

This is very informative video. I just started the mods on my CB350 using the ZX6R forks with the Cognito Motor stem. All their videos are very helpful.

[@speedfoos]

Fantastic video. Just got my triple tree today to fit a set of ZX-6R forks on a '76 Sportster hardtailed frame and the quality is top notch!

[@bellamyc7895]

This was an excellent video. I wish other "how to" videos were as well done in both content and production/video quality

[@cabellspicer6483]

Informative! Keep em' coming guys! Great video.

[@robfox5562]

This is an excellent video thank you! Feeling much more confident about getting started on a cafe racer project

[@Rivz2012]

Dang dude this is a rad educational video with gud music. I subscribed. Great work home slice.

[@rodolfomienert8292]

I got my custom width GSXR trees to mount onto a Honda frame and Harley Softail wheels, and they work well, and are works of art!!!!...I'm VERY happy with Cognito!

[@Chris-hs3pi]

This is an extremely informative and well-made video, well done!

[@bobmcgrath1272]

good to see someone packing the bearing properly.

[@leevon2wheels320]

Great video! Keep them coming! It would be nice if he touched on changing fork lengths and changes in geometry, especially on bikes like viragos.

[@danielamighetti6890]

Amazing video as always

[@nivesknight]

I like the gauges. I would have reused.

[@sebastiengauthier2785]

Love your products great video 👍👍👍

[@rsbharley4766]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@64faffi]

Very instructive video. Your products looks excellent, but it would be nice to see you use proper tools for extracting and inserting bearings into the steering head ;-) And as a fan of older bikes I cringed when the wires where cut and the old instruments crushed - I hope they were already broken.

[@lohrodrigo]

I really like the cognito products and used to have a cool feeling about the company, but when I see him throwing the cluster like that I was like whuuut? And he is very clumsy using the tools, it's like when you met your hero and leave very disappointed

[@surfish01]

I love this. Thank you. I love the conversion stems you make. I done two conversions now. Best $180 and $220 I've ever spent! Thanks for sharing your brain and talent with the rest of us Devin!

[@lifewithaustin4485]

You used the stock clamps? I am building a CB750f and want to do the conversation but I have reverse Constar wheels I want to use.

[@jafinjohn7367]

Thanks for the info I’m currently building a 1981 Honda cbx1050 I’m doing a 2002 tl1000r for on the cbx.

[@4stringbazooka]

I'M SO EXCITED TO SLOWLY SPEND WAY TO MUCH MONEY WITH YOU GUYS! Got ahold of a 1983 Honda CB550 nighthawk. Totally gonna get a fork conversion setup first, rearset with the master cylinder bracket (for the future) and then wheels with a rear brake hub. Totally excited. I assume I can email question about the fork offset..? When I get closer to ordering that is.

[@jamesrwight401]

I'm going to send you a box of gloves Devin lol. As always amazing pieces you create.

[@yellowmartian]

The Illestrator sent me here. I like this dude and this video 👍

[@Jstimp927]

Very helpful video!

Love the business casual, I’m gonna put inverted forks on this Honda outfit.

I've got a 1980 cb900f and its had a gsxr 750 engine fitted in it still standard Honda wheels and brakes quite a project sorting the wiring loom out spliced between Honda and Suzuki be great when its finished

great vid... are does stem solid or hollow in the middle ?? just curious thanks..

[@danielamighetti6890]

Guys when you are going to finish the green cb350...? I have one of those in Costa Rica, but I definitely want to use your an inspiration... And I have to buy lots of cognitomoto product

[@Ozrico1o1]

I'd like to hear your advice on what fork setup to use on an '82 XL500R. I'm thinking of doing a scrambler/tracker conversion on it. I'd be decreasing the 21" front wheel to the rear wheels size I suppose. TIA~!

[@TXGREASER1]

Conversion for a 82 gs1100 was thinking of doing a front end swap from a gxsr but like u said need need trees for it....

[@patrik.clifford]

Great! Does this work with the 1981 CBX 1000 frame as well? Does it have the same dimensions?

[@TampaJoe-]

How pissed was your mom when she noticed your dirty shirt in the laundry basket? Asking for a friend. PS neat video.

[@ScroungerLee]

Probably too old a video to have anyone read this, but this is a great product, and kudos on packing a tapered roller bearing with grease the correct way. But, at one point when pressing the lower bearing on it says "using the spacer we determined we needed back at the bike"??

[@DaniHart]

I would like to know the material of the cognito conversion stam and why its massif opposite the original stam?

[@GentsBarbershop]

can u tell me what kind of forks can i use on my suzuki 750GT 1975 Le mans? and what convertion kit .🔥💪

[@alexborghi7101]

great video, do you know if i can use this forks on a 84 goldwing gl1200?

[@rayrivera8527]

Interested an my hands on a set of those triple set with the stem...

[@cano1732]

Looked like you were bleeding @9:00. Thanks for the video.

[@cljsd007]

What about A cap one the upper bearing too keep the water out?.

[@tyjusino8267]

I have a 2003 750 nighthawk, do I need the conversion in order to used 2016 gsxr750 as well?

[@rickqueen65]

Do you all have a conversion for a GS1100E?

[@mreaw8544]

I've thought about doing this to my old 78 CB 750whats cost on your parts

[@soulgivesoul07]

would it makes sense to take the tank off so you dont dent it?

[@utahnick]

I need this

[@ryanpierce9793]

Curious, do you have a gsxr conversion stem for 1979 gs850?

[@anthonywilliamson6428]

Have you ever done a KZ1000 1979 with more modern forks?

[@elliott-nk7is]

Is that the Stigmata method for packing the bearings? @8:55

[@spencerthiel1261]

What a maniac.. swapping a fork in a button up and dress pants. Lol

[@hdasilva140]

hello guys...i have a 1978 cx 500 and im planning to replace front forks. Whats the best option for my bike ( gxr 600 or r6?

[@joedyck5700]

Very good and useful presentation. It looks like your Custom Replacement upper tree does not have clamps for the down tubes. Clamping the upper tree to the tubes will make the whole fork assembly more rigid. If I buy your conversion stem, I will probably keep the original upper and lower tree...

[@CognitoMotoTV]

There is a locking cam inside that locks the fork tubes.

[@joedyck5700]

@@CognitoMotoTV Thanks for the information! I didn’t see that in your video, I guess I will look in your product page.

[@chadhanson8182]

have you guys ever done an 80's shadow 750?

I want to do this swap on my Dyna.

Any conversion stems to fit 2005 zx10r forks to a 98 honda vtr1000f firestorm?

Thanks for sharing this great video. Can I use a Suzuki GSX-R 1100 front forks on Honda CB600F?

[@CognitoMotoTV]

we can but would need to do it as a custom since we do not have data on that fork. Please reach out to [e-mail] for more info.

[@nivesknight]

Could you not use the original stem??

[@underpsi5150]

Do you have a conversion kit to put srad front end on 80 xs650 ?

[@specializeds1974]

What price is the part for the Conversion honda cx 500 fork suzuki gsxr 1000

[@kundantiwari2533]

What if the fork on the existing bike are in good condition, how to use that, and it's too tall how can we shorten it??

[@kingdavid2018]

Where's the wheel hub video? I want to use my oem supersport wheels still

[@lvwrx]

thank you very informative, does this effectively lower the front end of the bike? noob question from a noob rider, sorry

[@jeanpierreguinard3497]

yes has a fan,,,I know it lower the front and also the front frok will b e closer to the engine...it shorter the distance of the front whell. Me I keep the original fork and install a 18 inch front wheell for honda cx 650 turbo so it look better the the 19 inch with high profil tire. the 18 inch have lower tire profil, IMPORTANT the front frok of any Honda fireblade 929 fit bolt on !!!

[@mdavis8430]

Turn your adjustable wrench over to unloosen steering stem nut, never cut wire with tin snips.

[@marshallmagee4823]

Would this work with cm400t from 79

[@obzion]

Do you make a conversion for a 00 zx7r fork to kz1000

[@ChaplinDmitry]

hi - what the full name of this bike?

[@Spazza42]

Any reason to opt for a GSX-R fork over a Yamaha R1 or R6? I’m currently looking at the performance options but something that suits a cafe racer styled build

[@CognitoMotoTV]

Price and availability of the GSX-R fork makes it a good option. We make these components for the R1/R6 and CBR's as well.

[@timcoppinger1361]

How do I contact you to purchase?

[@juliogang3476]

so do you still use the stock ring at the bottom end of the new stem?

[@CognitoMotoTV]

We do not. Manufactures stopped using those rings around 2005.

[@tysvlogs5838]

I would love a conversion kit for my 77 Suzuki GS550. It's pretty much UJM = to the CB550, but I'm not sure about the rake and sizing of the bearings, triple, stem etc. I looked on the site, and see that you guys specialize in basically classic Honda parts. Would you guys be able to make a conversion kit for an 09-17ish GSXR fork/GSXR (brembo) brake conversion for my GS550? Send me a link so I can supply you with my P.I. Thanks

[@brucekirk5386]

Allbalz bearings company online has swap out charts and bearings for any swap..some times you have to remove lock stop and reweld it father back to get full lock

[@ryancollard77]

Would this work on a cb400t 1978

[@12mazda]

Info where I could purchase this fork for a 86 nighthawk cb700s.Great video thanks.

[@bentaumoepeau8745]

is there any way to remove the stem and put the conversion one in without a hydraulic press? ahaha

[@michaelknight2897]

You missed step one. Clean the bike

[@crixtus]

do you know how much effort it was to get the dirt and grime on to get the "salvage project" look?

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

What are you measuring to determine what spacer you need under the stem race?

[@CognitoMotoTV]

You just want to be sure that the lower clamp does not hit the frame. So the spacers should stick out past the steer tube.

[@TepcoCycleRepair]

@@CognitoMotoTV hoping there was an easier measure method then trial and error. Hate to knock the race on and off and on to get it right. Thanks for the response, I'll be ordering up some parts for a few builds I'm working on, or maybe I'll swing by I'm in NC, would love to see your shop.

[@CognitoMotoTV]

@@TepcoCycleRepair Put the outer race in the bottom and use the washer to clear the frame. That way you do not have to remove anything. Stop by any time doors always open.

[@theeasternfront6436]

Subbed. Wondering if all of this is echoed with a set of dirt bike forks. I want to build a scrambler type bike but want it tall being Im 6'2". Buuut maybe your lowering top clamp could suffice 🤔

[@CognitoMotoTV]

We could do it but usually going to 18” wheels front and rear is good for people over 6”

[@CognitoMotoTV]

6’

[@harwoods11]

wow! is that an adjustable spanner!!!!

[@CognitoMotoTV]

yep

[@brucekirk5386]

What's a spanner..you mean wrench

Does anyone here know if those parts are street legal in Germany? Because sadly We have very tough laws when it comes to customize your vehicle.

[@CognitoMotoTV]

We do not have TUV certificate for Germany. We can provide documentation with materials used but you would need to have it inspected.

Non approvo lo spreco e buttare le cose ancora buone per altri, non serve rompere potevi regalare. Anche il cavo potevi smontare e recuperare. Errore questa è una cb750k del 1979 NON E' SEVENFIFTY (RC42 DEL 1992).

I like your products but man watching that guy hammer on a bearing race send chills down my spine. Bearings should be pressed not hammered in. Use a large bolt or chunk of all thread and a steel plate and some nuts and pull that bearing into its seat.

Good lord just wale the bearing races in there why don’t ya
