Top Clamp Swap
Posted: 11:51 am Mar 07 2005
I finally got the 95 (H series) top clamp installed on my 89 KDX. BTW thanks Inda for sending them my way.
What a difference being able to turn the bar mounts around makes. For those not in the know the E series KDX's had rear swept fixed position mounts that practically put the bars right in your lap - Not good for standing or getting into the attack position. The 95+ top clamp is the same in the stock position, but when you turn the mounts around it moves the bars forward about 3/4" and up about 1/2" which makes a huge difference in the general ergo's on the bike. Its still not perfect and its most likely going to take a new bar bend to get there but its a site better than it was. I'll post some pictures in the gallery when I get a chance.
