Has anyone got a pic of them mounted on a bike? I will probably turn a set also!

I have a new set of Fastway Aluminum cones that have never been installed, I can get the deminsions off them and post those as well if anyone is interested.

Update. The nylon cones showed up last week. Installed them and  :-o what differance. My solid cones should arrive this week. I rode about 5 hours on sunday. If you have not checked your rubber cones lately get on it.

Excellent, when you get your solid cones, try them vs. the nylon mounts. Hopefully we can get a good comparison as my bike was not new when I changed them out.

Thanks for the update

Alan: You can't go wrong with a set, the vibs are cut noteworthy.

My vibs where cut down some with the nylon cones. With the rubber cones my clutch and brake levers would rattle like hell when I would start the engine. They barely moved when I started the engine on Sunday. I'll run back to back test nylon vers. alumn. After my dislocated tumbs heals.

Yes Sir. Got lucky and it popped back in with little help but hurt like hell. There was a creek about 20 yards away with cold mountian water. After leaving my hand in the creek for about 20 mins off and on. Headed back to the truck spent about 30mins in and out of the cooler with my hand. Got back on the bike and rode. I rode but didn't push to hard. Sunday night my wirst and tumb hurt so bad I had my wife take me to the ER. They put my wrist and tumb in a cast. A temp cast that they will revome in 5 days.

Alan, do you want pictures with the handlebars off/tripple clamps bare? or do you just want a general picture of the area with them installed?
