First of all, just want to say I'm by no means a professional. I rode dirt bikes for about 4 years in my youth back in the early 90's and have been riding street for past 10. I just recently got back into dirt bikes as I bought my son (age 15) and I a pair of KX dirtbikes. Only our 4th time out and I decide I'm ready to learn wheelies on my 06' KX450F, NOT! Darn you youtube! Yup, as soooo many of us dopes do, we see how easy it is to do tricks on youtube and decide it’s so easy even an old man can do it, but what started off fairly well at first riding just a few inches off the ground for 3 and 4 seconds, ended abruptly by me showing my son how to eat it by ripping too much throttle ending up with a severely damaged ego, a seriously bruised rump shaker, busted throttle tube, and you gessed it, a bent set of handlebars So that’s my story, now on the review...
The purchase was very easy, shipping time wasn’t bad, and assembly was simple. I called in prior to the purchase and the sales rep was friendly and extremely helpful in making sure I ordered everything I needed. I was pleased that everything was packed nicely and order was complete and even happier that when I assembled it, I didn’t need anything. The product is absolutely solid, from the design to how sturdy it looks and feels, I would definitely recommend this product, but make sure to buy the kit and the rubber grommets, as they will not fit in your standard mounts. As a side note, the prices were good so I will be buying from them again, however on another purchase (shorty clutch and brake levers for my ZX9R) it has been on backorder over a month!!!! Cmon guys, before the seasons over please!!!
Install tip for newbs like me. I struggled aligning the handle bars at first, because I tried assembling the mounts to the handlebars first, so what I figured out (maybe not the best way, but it worked for me) was to assemble the bottom portion of the mounts first and get them fairly snug, then line them up so the handlebars fit perfectly when laid in, once this is done, tighten the bottom so there is no play in the mounts, then lay in your handlebars and get the top mounts snug before getting your torque wrench all around.
