Bar mount cones
« on: March 27, 2006, 07:47:40 AM »
Hey Guy's,

I am in need of some new bar mount cones. I don't want the solid one but is there anything better than the factory rubber?

Hey Hughes, to my knowledge, they are the only options. It cut down my vibes by huge amounts. You ought to try them, they really do cut down vibes alot. I was not trying to be a smartass when I said the solid ones. They really made a huge difference.

Thanks, I am thinking that the worn out rubber ones are causing some of my handling issues that I posted under suspension help. I'll try them their cheap. If I'm turn the wheel in one direction and the rut or terrain is pushing it is the other direction just alittle bit could cause the wheel to hope out of the line I am trying to take.

Hey Hughes, if Jeff does not have them MXSouth does Part #: MOTO-4-465

Desc: ALUM. BAR MNT CONES KDX $ 24.95 $ 22.45

Cross reference from MX-South the KDX is the same as the KX.

mxsouth has discontuied those mounts. They are sending me the nylon mounts. nylon should be firmer than the rubber. I 'll see how good they work.
