[QUOTE="adam728, post: 1200238, member: 55463"] Stock guards mount only to the lever perches, nothing to the ends of the bars. There are no rubber vibration dampers, previous bar mount inserts, etc. Stock KDX bars have a stupid insert (almost like a washer) welded into the bars about 1/2" from the end. There are 4 options here. #1 Drill it out #2 Smash it out with a hammer and socket extension #3 Tap the insert to fit the bolt for the handguards #4 Replace the crappy stock steel bars with something half way decent. I went with #4 myself. Many guys have tapped the insert for a 1/4" bolt. I don't like this idea because the thing is very thin, probably around 1/16", so there isn't much of a thread for the bolt to grab. Either cut/hammer than thing out of there and use the inserts that came with the new guards, or just ditch the bars all together for some stronger ones. I would have to imagine that if you broke your handguards you managed to bend the stock steel bars. [/QUOTE]
