Wow. Thank you for this! I am updating the front forks on an xs850 I just picked up and could not wrap my head around spending all that $$$ on something from Cognito Moto. I will check out All Balls!
Glad to help. I love finding ways around spending $. This was a simple work around and saved time as well. The cost of Cognito components is outrageous.
Nice work with the Cx500 greetings from the UK we are Simon and Adrian nice to meet you! We do Live streams pop along to our next one you will meet lots of new friends and our friends will help support your channel, if you like we can support eachother? But don't forget to hit the notification bell which will then notify you when we go live, hopefully see you soon, regards Simon and Adrian
I will have to do a follow-up on that bike. Sometimes its easy to forget the finished project and that viewers may not have had the chance to see it once its done. Thanks for the reminder.
@@thedutchmanandthedigger1500 No worries. I joined the facebook group yesterday and found some pictures of the finished project. I would love to hear some more about it.
Great job on ur built quick question.on the stem conversion you mentioned that there's no need to buy a cognito stem and that all we have to do is cut a Lil bit of the bottom to give us more thread at top correct? I'm kinda confused what about the bearing that needs to be on the bottom because it needs bearing on the top of the stem and bottom too or no? There's no need for the bottom? And only bearing at the top only ?please get back at me when time permits
Search for "All Balls Racing" on the internet. They have a chart that will get you the correct bearing set. If in the instructions it says to space under the lower bearing, keep in mind the extra space of the neck tube that can be trimmed off as I did in this video. It helps so that you may not have to buy an expensive stem.

For some reason that little 400 on the shelf keeps calling to me! haha. Let that shoulder heal old man!
Great video! Can you make a video on the process of doing the conversion? From the cut to installation?
Not sure how long it will take as I have no clients lined up that want USD for conversions.

Can we get an update on the CX enduro build? That sounds like a very interesting project!

Sorry, I didn't see your comment/question. No need for a Cognito stem or the additional washer/spacers. Bearings on top and bottom.

Are you using the the original donor fork stem? How you get the right bearing for it? I have an CX500.
It has the GSXR stem. Bearings are from Allballs.com. they have a link for fork swapping.
If you need a battery relocating box I build and sell them.
