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.

Haha sorry. I need to get better pics of the PODIUM RC1 (iPhone pic).

Here are the both FOX models we are now offering.

Pricing is per pair.

Thanks, Devin.  I'll have to figure out length, taking into account the modern front and 18" wheels for either my 750 or 550.

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.

Thanks Cal!

I just took more pictures for the site. I must say I'm really impressed with the quality and crispness of them. I really don't know how else to describe the look and feel. Now I just want this bike completed so I can go enjoy these.

Will you be offering the footpeg bracket you made for sale? I'd like to do rearsets on a 78 750F and those brackets look similar to the styling of stock ones, but with a much better foot position (and look much better).

Yes, I will sell those. I'd like to make them into a two piece design so that the passenger pegs can be removed.

You might also want to think about making folding and non folding footpegs that will fit the stock bikes. There is a massive lack of options to change the IMHO ugly footpegs!

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.




www.CognitoMoto.com
Devin - I'm super excited to make this all come together. They look awesome on the 750 build.

Anyone wanting to put these on their moto, hit up Devin's site. The new pics posted are very good. One note, these will also work on many other bikes that require shocks with an eyelet on top and bottom. If you have questions, ask. Devin will have the answers.

-Stacey-

2007 KTM 990 SuperDuke-and yes, it is that good

2003 CBR600F4i (gone)
2003 SV650 (gone)
1985 Yamaha XT600 (gone)
If you dont try there is a 100% chance you wont make it. If you try there is a 10% chance you will win. I like those odds!

Devin, everything is looking awesome as usual!!  Do you make extended swingarm and engine mounting bolts to mount the peg brackets??  Was wanting to originally do this, but ended up welding two bosses to the backside of the frame.

Would be interested in buying a set if you make these!

One of the brackets is threaded and the axle bolt threads into it. It was done to retain the stock axle.

Worked all weekend to try and finish this bike before the show in Austin. Still need to wire it up but it's close.


Jugs all cleaned and painted.



New head studs



All done



Semi together



Made a little bracket to hold gauge.









Oil lines run, exhaust and muffler mounted. Went back and forth with exhaust location but looks okay to me.







Need to wiring it maybe I can get it done in the next day or hopefully.

The shocks are awesome!! When you do swap them on your 550 I'd like to hear your take on the improvement on the street. I wonder how much of a difference they make and if it can be felt.

Also, this bike is simply bananas, just like your 550. You have given me a whole lot of inspiration, once I finish my motor build I'll be making a huge purchase from you. Keep up the good work!

Don

Don,

It depends on what you are looking for, tire size, and such. My best advice is to get the tires on there and jack the bike to where you would like it and measure from mounting point to mounting point. You may need to discuss this will me a bit more in detail. Feel free to give me a ring or email.

Saw your bike at the show in Austin this weekend.   Looked absolutely great.  Good show too - I'm planning on having something in there next year - my kinda show.    Didn't really run into too many of the builders - I was thinking they were all at the GP races.   My friend Christian had a bike next to yours - hard to believe it had already been almost 10 years that he built that beast. (Slingshot)

Oh yeah - really digging the 750.  Well done brother.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Thanks! Your buddy has a nice ride as well. I was back and forth all weekend. It's kind of funny. Standing there I would see people check out my ride but thought it might be awkward to walk up and be like "you like? That's my bike" so I just stayed away.

So I've been trying to finalize the design for these oem offset clamps. This design offers "offset adjustment" so it can be 60mm or 45mm. I will probably go ahead and make a 50mm plug as well. That way you can use it on all the CB750's, the CB550, CB500 CB450 and CB350. Those 3 offsets pretty much cover everything. It will also allow you to play around with your offset and see what suits your ridding style.
