I live near that guy, maybe I could get a good deal and save shipping... :mrgreen:

I had Scotts half-waffle grips but didn't like them. I just put on some Pro Grips and REALLY like those. I also use MSR "Dominator" aluminum bars; cheaper than the top-flight stuff (~$35) and has worked just fine so far. I hit a tree hard enough to break my wrist last fall but the handlebars were fine! :shock:

http://www.scottsperformance.com/indexmain.html -> Product Index -> T -> Triple Clamps -> Triple Clamps (offroad bikes) -> Kawasaki. KDX's are listed as $189.

I don't have the triple clamp but I do like the damper, Renthal Scott's bend bars, and their bar cones.

Thanks for the info. I bought one for my daughter's CRF230F since she wadded hers. The original is steel like the KDX's.

Thanks for pointing out the path to get there, gwhII!

Someone DID get a great deal on those clamps. They look great. They are the first ones I know of for the 1995 and newer models.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

Thanks, gwhII! I don't own an H model, but I am always interested in any KDX.

You're welcome; just passing on what I've found. I really like the BRP stuff too. Check out the S.U.B. mount for Scotts dampers--too cool. When I finally do the USD upgrade, I want the BRP setup; I won't be any faster but I'll be doing it in style. :lol:

Inda, when you do it, post how it turns out!

hmmmm wonder if they do a sub mount for the stock forks KDX clamp? I like the steering damper idea but sitting on top of everything with no pad is just asking me to kiss it hard one day LOL

Scotts does (at least did) have Renthal 7/8" bars with a bent cross bar for a damper to fit under. That's what I have on mine. I just had to notch the pad. If you want to go with Protapers or Fatbars, then I agree that the sub mount is the only way to go.

I just bent the crossbar and fitted it back up...no problem. I didn't think to notch the pad though so thanks for that tip.
