Running them in my 01 cr 250 and love them. They really reduced a large amount of the vibration transmitted to my hands and have helped reduce the numbing of my hands. Worth the 50.00 bucks for sure. Not sure how they work on a steel frame bike though.

Just throwing it out there I know the bar inserts are cheaper, but wouldn't rubber mounted bar mounts do the same?

I was told by a reliable source that the best anti vibration setup they've used so far was that new pro taper rubber mounted tripple clamp (yes they have'em for YZ's now) with pro-taper bars cut down the vibe's more then those inserts and better than the RG3 tripple clamp. Yes this person has so much bling they tried all 3 back to back. Transworld just did a review of them on thier website.

It's just the little rubber billets inside the triple clamps on the Hondas. I scrapped those babies and got the Fastway alluminum billets to keep from bending the bar clamp bolts when I crashed.:
BTW, Riding a Honda isn't painful. It's when you stop riding it that hurts.

Ditto, on my kx125 too. I hate my rubber mounts just a simple tip over and the tweak. You can straighten them back out but the rubber cones are junk after one twist, bc they get deformed. And yes i've bent a bolt on em too. and the local dealer tried the billet cones, but they did not fit worth a crap on his kx250, so i baught a pro taper p-3 upper clamp.
