Rick:
I did some damage to mine in the recent crash, so just fixed and widened the stock set.  Cheap and fun...

mikesmith:
If there sloppy from the pin hole getting oveled out,Ty Davis sells a bushing kit.

FastKX500:
Yea they are very sloppy.

Rick:
I opted for ZipTy's replacement bolt on mount, as mine was broken in the crash.  I thought I would need bushings, but the new mount did the trick.  Looks way strong.  The only problem I had was that the mounting holes were a little too far apart.  The screws would go in, but I was affraid they would strip, so I elongated the top hole by about 1/16 inch, and the screws went in just fine.  

On the rear brake side, the mount was just a little sloppy, so I adjusted with a 5 pound adjustment tool (hammer for those who are not sure).  After all the riding I have done, the weld on mount was holding up fine, so the slight adjustment should work for a couple more years.

Now I just can't wait to ride again.   :cry: This weekend, I'll install the new ZipTy pipe and build a couple of new rubber mounts...and then just wait.  Fortunately, the collar bone healing time gives me a chance to have hand surgery to fix a finger that was damaged a while ago.  The doc said a 10 day heal time, so should coincide with the timing of my collar bone.  They are even going to let me stay awake and watch the surgery.  Too cool.  Maybe if I need more hand work I can do it myself next time.  :wink:
