Wow looks great! What did you clean your carbs with? You're not too worried about heat retention with the powder coated valve cover?

Keep it up!!

Bead blast carbs then over hauled to clean them out. Not worried about valve cover. Never had issues before with it.

So I've picked up some goodies for this build. I like to test everything we sell so I'll give a review of it all.



M-unit to simplify wiring. Acts as fuse box and controller for signals





This will simplify wire from controls to m-unit. Wire this in at the front of the bike and then a single wire to m-unit.




Wireless key


Went with these brackets so I can run the stock gsxr damper

This is a special project Cognito Moto has been working on for weeks directly with FOX. We will soon be offering the Podium R and Podium RC1 for these vintage Japanese motorcycles. The first sets will be arrive later today and we will be trying them out on this build.

Huge thank you to Stacy (Stak66) at Fox for all of his help and making this possible.

I know those will not be cheap when they are released to be sold to the public.

But I am happy that there is another option for us.

Nice looking bling there!!

The shocks definitely have my attention. Estimated prices??

I'll have them listed on the site later this week. I need to get back with Fox and check pricing.

So the tank came back from paint yesterday and I couldn't resist doing a mock up. I feel that the headlight will need to move it but I kept the dampener. I'll mess with it more today.

My dear god.  Those shocks are pure sex.

Looks like I better start saving now  ::)

On another note:  I have also been debating keeping my damper in the stock location, however I am looking at utilizing the Ducati Monster headlight mount I have on the way, so once it gets here I will have to see if there is any way for the two to coexist...  It does not look promising though.

Go to cognitomoto.com and sift through his website. Bring lots of money as you will undoubtedly see other products worth purchasing! Devin does really nice work and makes really great products. Fit and finish is excellent and they are the direct result of engineering done on real live projects. So they definitely fit.

I think Devin is in the process of adding the shocks to his store, once he confirms pricing with Fox.  I, too am interested.  Not sure where they will compare price-wise with Race Tech, Works, etc.

Devin,

I saw that you now have the Podium R shocks up on your site.  Are they $655 each or for a pair?  Hopefully the second.
