Cognito Moto<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve purchased from them before. Their chic and simple approach is wonderful (*^-^*)
It’s very informative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Gal stem.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Semi-custom style.
You set the fork span and fork diameter as you like, then just pick the stem shaft by bike model\u2014a wonderful system.
What’s interesting is I noticed the fork clamp has no split?
When you tighten the bolts, a part with a C-groove gets pulled in to clamp.
*Whether it’s safe or not is… uncharted territory…
By the way, with zero weight relief, it’s super heavy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cast-style stem kit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, shouldn’t Japan’s direction be machining that gives a cast feel?
…Aren’t you already tired of aggressive machining? What do you think? <\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cognito Moto GPS Speedo and Large Tach<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very simple meter.
I haven’t ordered one so I can’t speak to the feel. Since speed detection is GPS, installation is super easy… *though inspection won’t work… it’s wonderful (*^-^*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1989-1998 GSX-R750 & GSX-R1100 Hub Bolt-on Conversion Laced Wheel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally… the era when oil-cooled GSX-R models go spoked might… come.
It looks surprisingly cool. I’d worry about caliper clearance issues though~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cognito Moto Aluminum Universal Rearsets – Fixed Footpegs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit chunky, but very nice design.
I think combining various things and having personality in your steps makes for a great bike.

Lately the culture has shifted to just slapping on purpose-built parts and calling it done.
The individuality you’re supposed to show is actually all the same… really just different exterior colors… which happens a lot.
With so many things available, that’s wonderful, but bikes that make people say “wow!” have an aura, you know? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your mind flexible~ and I think you’ll find even more enjoyment (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
