I never noticed anything different about the handling or steering input throughout all the twisty riding.
You have twisty riding in Fl.? Things must of changed since I last lived there.

Sport Rider said:I'm not surprised Steve. Anything to reduce vibes on these things is a GOOD thing.
Question for you. I'm getting ready to do a ZRX replacement on the front. The risers are mounted with rubber cones top and bottom. I'm expecting that to help with vibration, but any experience with that setup?
Thanks!

Mcfly said:What's a likely estimate on total cost of installation from 'bone stock' bars?
Of course changing out the stock bars means finding aftermarket bars...
...seemingly daunting, and what is close to stock? If I install new bars, do
I need all new hydraulic lines? Will attaching reservoirs/controls be more
of an added expense? What's a likely estimate on total cost of installation
from 'bone stock' bars?
Steve in Sunny Fla said:OK, I'm starting to get some pricing, this is preliminary, but it looks like the price will be in the 250.00 range. This would be for the isolated bar mount assembly, but not bars, etc... Of course this will work if you have tube bars or heli's already...
So my question is if there's still interest at that price point? If there's not, there's no point in me continuing on. I could probably get it done less expensively if I went out of the US, but we're going to keep this in the US ... we need americans working.
please post up if this is doable or not - thanks - Steve
Steve in Sunny Fla said:Tube bar mounts / adapters aren't new for the connie, but fully rubber isolated, like mine are, is something new. Steve
Not really. :nananana: It's a pretty old and simple trick to get fully rubber isolated bars. First you have to find a wrecked ZRX1200, or 1100. Then hope it's front end is alright, then buy the forks, upper and lower triple clamps, ignition is nice, fender, wheel, brake system and new 17" tire. Then find a machinist you trust with your life to enlarge some holes. Simple.
It's a pretty good deal since you not only get get a free handlebar adapter with it but it's also rubber isolated!

smithr1 said:Wow that is high cost given that it does about the same thing as a $20 pair of grip wraps.
