Iv used PHDS for 9 years now, it does work & is fairly cheap. Iv also experimented with the green washers which provide more cushion but i feel its slightly harder to turn the bike on slick bluegroove.
The Neken is more expensive but probably 5 times more effective. You couldnt even really compare the two. in my opinion it is definitely worth every penny (or cent).
I got the XTrig (but it's the same thing as the KTM PowerParts kit) boxed kit, as Mkerrwrench suggested, and, for me, it was a lot cheaper.
I tried the softer , Green elastomers that so many on other sites recommended, but found them much too soft, and giving a seesaw effect, end to end, to the bars. I went back to the std Yellow ones and all was good. I run them on a CRE500, so it's a fairly vibratory bike.
Trouble is, they don't do much (well, nothing would) for 6 fingers and a Thumb with 'Trigger Finger', so I've not been riding much lately between a few operations (over and above the Carpal Tunnel ones) and the Trigger Finger issues making it bloody hard to use my Brakes (I use a LHRB, can't use a foot brake) and the Clutch.
I tried the PHDS clamps a few years ago, they were nice, but the elastomers didn't seem to last long for me.
Fractured my right thumb a year and a half ago at Glen Helen, required surgery with 2 pins. Fortunate for me I don't deal with any numbness.
Anyhow, clamp-wise, with my X-Trig clamps on my '19 KX450, I'm running the new Flex Fix mounts that fit the Renthal Fatbar36's and I'm using the green (soft) elastomers. You've really got to consider trying the Fatbar 36's, they were a night and day difference from the Twinwalls with the old cut crossbar set up!
