Ahh Ok thats sounds a heck of a lot easier then trying to alter the flywheel! :-D
So is this correct? Think it cant me done with a dremel? :evil: If not i suppose a trip to the machinist is in order.
*edit* prettied the picture up a bit :-D

drewh14, Nice ! Yup that's correct. You are awesome at photoshop images mods. (I suck at modding images) . Yes, i'm sure you could just grind the standoffs with a dremel tool, then clean the surface with a file to ensure flatness.
I'll have to steal some of your images, and paste them into my posts for more precise clarification of the details ! Is that ok ?

I haven't done this, but it looks like another option for mounting the headlight is to use KLX rubber bands. It's the same plastics as KDX, but doesn't use the bolt on brackets. These bikes had the same inverted forks as a KX, so I think the headlight could just be clipped on in a matter of seconds after the original number plate is removed. I'll try this and report back next time I have a reason to pull the number plate off my KX500. Who knows if these rubber bands are still readily available though. A lot of other parts are hard to get for this bike now.
I just figured I'd throw it out there for people that don't have the ability to fabricate the lower bracket.

I tried to purchase the rear fender off the '90-93 KDX250 to make a cleaner look when using a KDX tail light, but the fender is NLA from Kawi, dammit ! bummer. The KDX fender looks VERY similar to the KX500 too !!
