hello all green riders! my brother in law just started riding and picked up a 06 200 ( best beginner bike ever ). after a few rides we found the frustrating week link, im trying to locate the metal replacement for the rubber bar mounts. i had a kdx back in the day and had metal cones that replaced the rubber but they came on the bike when i bought it used. any help??

thanks guys

Try a new set of the rubber cones. Or try a set of Honda bar mount cones. They are stiffer and hold up well. But still cut down on the vibration. If you are having issues with the cones then they are worn out or the bike spends too much time on it's side.

yeah , hes learning and riding in some tuff pa single track. hes doing good but like you said the rubber is just worn out. my kdx had metal cones that replaced the rubber and i really liked them. not to worried about vibration. i have found them on dennis kirk by fastway but dk says part is discontinued . saw something that brp had them but nothing on the web sight.
+what honda used that rubber mounts?
+still would like to locate metal ones

thanks

Do a search for Honda cones and you should find the part number I used. Solid bar mounts will cause more vibration and be more likely to bend bars. I would stick with some sort of isolators other then metal.

If you want the solid bar mounts look under kdx bar mounts in e-bay there $30 I'm gonna try new rubber ones on mine w/ a freddette one piece top clamp, just getting ready to order one.

Ive been trying to find some made of poly, I wonder if these would work?

The Honda cones are a much stiffer then Kawasaki cone. They might be some type of poly. They are cheap to try too.

Is the center hole too big you think?

Here's a good deal on a one piece bar mount that I found. Its a pretty good deal so I just wanted to share it with my fellow KDX rider.

$10 for the bar mount and you can call and ask for $6 usps flat rate shipping. They said they have them in 7/8" and 1 1/8".

Devol is up the hill from me....I must go see what they have in stock!

The rubber mounts on the KDX work well when new, they should be replaced every season. The weak link isn't the rubber isolators but the the independent top caps. Get a one piece cap like that listed above, or the fredette one. Stiffens up the bar mounts, helps eliminate the dreaded bar twist.

Before I replaced my rubber cones for billet items I made my own top clamp support out of 4mm alloy plate shaped to suit, all I did was replace the handlebar bolts for longer items & job done...buy some plate & make your own.

I bought some of the poly sway bar bushings down at Oreilly's then just took them to the disc sander and made them the shape I needed them. They even came with new metal caps that were identical to the ones I took off the the bike, been working great ever since.

Bump....Does this work with the kdx? Is it a universal top mount? It's not listed for the KDX.

Do a little googling around and one thread on another forum suggested the KX designed bar will fit the KDX. http://dirtrider.net/forums3/threads/20 ... amp.59771/

That's a good price. FRP also has one, and found some others on ebay.


QUESTION: What Honda model(s) have comparable cone mounts?

It's the CR 250, last few years for sure. You're just using the cones, right?

Hold on...

These one-piece mounts are still available for $10. I trimmed about 1/8 inch off each side so the Rox risers fit better. New OEM cones and washer caps installed too.

Nice!
It's the whole mount right? Not just the top..
