What I’d love to know, as I’m new to rebuilding motorcycles (just started mine about 6 months ago….2013 Moto Guzzi v7 Racer), is with regards to aftermarket switches like these in the vid. I’ve come to learn these are referred to as “momentary contact switches” so my question is are there OEM switches/buttons on my v7 Racer (or any bike I guess) that cannot be replaced by these aftermarket switches? Lights and starter button are what come to mind as the current OEM switch turns them on until I turn them off, so they are not momentary. Or am I being too literal in my understanding of a momentary contact switch? Thanks in advance for any help……and loved this video.
So you can just make your own air filters like that? It’s really that simplistic? My life is all a lie wow. Great craftsmanship throughout the whole video!
Since it was just two the setup and fixturing to do it on the lathe would take more time than just doing it on the mill. When it goes to production it will be turned on the lathe.
@@CognitoMotoTV fair enough. I'm running the lathe most of the time, therefore when ever I see something that can be turned, I'll turn it.. I'm also doing bike stuff, you can check out my instagram, if you like: allthings_zed
Devin: the cleanest bike builder...as referenced by his continued attire of button down shirts, and anything but garage gear lol. Bravo.
Beautiful engineering and video production. Thank you for posting this content
Super sharp looking so far. I agree with you about the mirror ; sucks that it can’t go underneath. It just doesn’t look right up top
Nice series

Correct. To run these momentary switches you really need an m-unit
Immediately thumb's up but haven't watched the video yet - got to be engaged in my work conference call and THEN I'll knock this bad boy out!
what combination switch are you using
Just wow, im impressive!
Is necessary the M button ? For the switch's? I want to install just the switchs!!!!!
You dont need the m-button. We did not use it here. You do need the m-unit because these are momentary switches.
Hi
Super clip
Im looking at fitting the same grips on my re gt650 did you just bin the bar end weights completely ?
Regards
Dave from Scotland
They are pieces of plastic in the end of the bars. They are not really weighted ends.

Thanks
Ill bin the weights and fit the gt grips
Cheers
Dave
Clean build, BTW, wonder why you are not working on a RE650, I would like to see an Enfield similar to your XS650 credentials.

Where did you get that throttle assembly?
Which brembo unit is the front master?
This is actually from a Thruxton R. The R6 has a brembo as well.
Nice!!! So is The adjustable clutch lever and perch also from a Thruxton?
Why didn't you turn the stacks instead?
A lot less effort and setup.
Great stuff tho.
