Either one will be better than none... I personally have not tried the WER but after months of research... I opted for the Scotts.

Using the above assumption, I ordered a WER this morning.Indawoods wrote:Either one will be better than none... I personally have not tried the WER but after months of research... I opted for the Scotts.
I would rather have had a Scott's. I really like the Fat Bar on my KDX. It works much better with the GPS and Computer than the 7/8" bars with the cross bar always in the way. But after I spoke with Scotts, I decided that $599 was more that I wanted to spend. Their response to putting their damper on the KDX with the fat bar set up (in addition what CC said about bushed bars), was that the factory top 3T causes problems with the way that the Fat Bar set up works. On the OEM 3T the bar clamp mounting area is angled back towards the rider. Therefore they would only sell the set up with their top 3T which is not angled and has solid mount bar clamps. Good for them?
I figure it certainly can't be worse with the WER than without. Plus with the difference in price, I can afford some sorely needed new gear.
Actually CC that is a cool idea and one that I considered. Maybe after I find 03 or newer kx125 or kx250f to cradle my KDX engine, hm....I haven't done it yet...but I don't see why it would be a big deal to fabricate a bracket for a fender mounted Scott's. Buy a WER mount kit (if you want something to start out with), put the Scotts on a plate. Bolt it on. Make it fit. A few heim (banjo) joints and some adjustable (threaded) rods and you could make it work.

ive crashed alot with my scotts and solid bar mounts and all is well. with the stabilizer. im starting to feel it. im running 7/8 bars and they are good too. maybe i havent laid it down hard enough yet. i would talk my brother into joining the airforce before i would run a wer. nothing against anyone in the airforce. if you were in the service you will understand. if not get over it.
