[QUOTE="lightsts, post: 388733, member: 32816"] The forward offset IMO is a personal comfort thing. Myself and my 2 sons are all over six ft. When we ride we are racing so our body position is mostly standing in the attack position over the bars. With the standard mount I feel like the bars are too far back I can't support myself as well. The KDX is going to headshake, it has a steep steering head angle. That's what makes it a good woods bike. For some reason the stock KDX comes setup for a 130lb rider making the front end dive while braking or even just deaccelerating. That's why when you make a high speed charge across a field it's great, then come off the gas you get the violent headshake. The front end drops and the steering head angle gets steep. Stiffer fork springs and/or dropping the tubes in the clamps with help. A steering stabilizer is the cure. As far as the clamp goes, I think they look great. It might be my imagination but I think we bend more bars with them beacause you loose that little bit of flex between the clamps to help absorb a hit. [/QUOTE]
