Solid bar mount cones on 98KX250?

[MXTex]

I'm considering the use of solid bar mount cones on my 98 KX250. The stock rubber ones and a second set of Neoprene units from Scott's performance have been weak at best. After a few falls, they became distorted and the bars would no longer line up correctly. Would I notice the change to solid mount cones in terms of vibration absorption? Does the rubber make a difference here? I'm open to suggestions here. Please advise. Also, anyone know where to get the solid units? Thanks in advance.

the solid units can be bought out of dennis kirk, part # 59-2298 just go to http://www.denniskirk.com and type in the part # to look at them. they cost 23.99 but i have zero experience with using them and was wondering about them myself.

i think you will notice more vibration.How about trying cr rubber mounts?i have no problem with mine.

It might just be me, but when I put thm in the 500 I didn't notice any more vibration. Just a more solid feel to the frontend.

Thanks for the responses. Marcus, may I assume that the CR cones will fit my KX? Do you have a suggestion for torque?

Thanks again.

Im not sure the cr ones fit-if you ring a honda dealer and give them your dimensions i bet they would see if the cr ones are the same-service honda would be a good choice to try.As for torque i would use the one in the KX manual.Hows that for a totally non-commital responce:)

I had problems with my stock CR rubber cones twisting in crashes, but my new triple clamps are solid-mount and I can't tell any difference in vibration.
