    Help needed, please confirm correct bearing to use with cognito moto gsxr fork swap

    Hello everyone, Its been many months since i updated my build thread but I've been tipping away with it. To the point of this thread, I just got my lower gsxr triple back after cognito moto pressed in one of their xs650 stems conversions into it. I wanted to test fit it tomorrow but was...

    Front sprocket question? do any other bikes share the xs650 spline design

    Well thanks for the answer guys, that's what I was afraid of. While my swing arm can fit a rim with a 180 tire I'm not looking to go that wide yet so I doubt that the offset sprocket kit in the link would be right for me, Plus for that price I'll look at getting some machine closer to home...

    Front sprocket question? do any other bikes share the xs650 spline design

    Hello Everyone, I've been doing a little google searching on this and have come up with nothing, and wanted input from you guys. I'm hoping to find an "off the shelf" offset front sprocket for my bike as I'm going to run a wider rear wheel and tire and do not want to resort to machining...

    Hey Zain Diaz, That's interesting and kinda similar as to the way I plan on doing mine. What swing arm and rim is that?

    Mono-shocked Cafe racer from Ireland

    That would have been the easy solution, but I really like this swing arm for a few reasons. 1. I love the tube profile of the main parts of the swing arm, its different and I reckon it will look well when brushed finished. 2. I like the eccentric chain adjusters, reminds me of...

    Cheers, but by the time i finish with the swing arm it may not be so lightweight due to the extra material for the mono shock mount..well I can always hope...

    Mono-shocked Cafe racer from Ireland

    Just a small update as I haven't been on much. Scored myself a lovely GSXR750 (K9 I believe) front end, appears in very good condition with good seals. Have also had this front mount for ages, got this from Bobber_xs on here, very pleased with it. Also been working on my new rear...

    Mono-shocked Cafe racer from Ireland

    Hi guys, I've been a long time lurker on this website but have now decided to start my own build thread, as I am using it as part of a final year in college where i'm doing a degree in mechanical engineering. The end goal is to build a mono-shocked cafe racer with a rephased 750cc conversion...
