93 KX 250 REAR FENDER?

<< < (4/8) > >>

kawdude:
Beautiful!  That really rocks.

rdcjohn:
Just got my 93 kx250 rear fender today and after holding it up, I realized that it does not even come close to fitting between the rear holes on the subframe, I read what you guys have said to grind(front part by airbox, and exhaust lip) But how about not fitting between the rails? Thank you in advance. Sorry for all the posts lately just got this thing and trying to get it put together so I can ride it this weekend.

Rick:
Just sqeeze the fender together and it will go between the subframe rails (try putting the fender on a heater vent for a few minutes to make the plasit warm before you begin).  You might also have to use a hair dryer to soften the plastic next to the air box in order to get it to flex enough to put the bolt in.  If this doesn't work, post up again and we'll get you through.
