I bought the Protaper mounts that fit the stock triple along with a CR-High bend bar. Much better than the stock bar that came on the bike, but I want to move the bar farther forward and get rid of the rubber mounts. The mounts I got only have one position, directly over the rubber cones. Not really concerned about the looks. But your'e right, I could polish the upper and lower clamp and have a lighter setup than anything aftermarket. If I can't find a triple with adjustable bar mounts that will fit I will get the aluminum cones to at least get rid of the rubber mounts.
Arigato:
Scott's make bar mounts that can be adjusted forward of the mounting posts.
Timbowe:
Pro Taper top clamp is adjustable fore and aft. Also has 3 different height riser mounts available. My clamp is for a 01/02 kx 250.
Arigato:
If you want to get really fancy, Emig Racing makes a full set for the KX500 that are super trick!

Thanks for the help. Looked at Scotts, BRP and Emig Racing websites. Well I tried Emig Racing but the site isn't working up right now. I think I'm going to follow Timbowe's lead and get the P-3 Protaper clamp since it has numerous position and height options. Then I'll shim it or file some of the material from the mating surface where the bolts are so they clamp tight.
