Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
A few last questions...
jrowley85:
ok im about to do the 2000 kx250 front and rear fender conversions on my kx500 and the big question i have is when im doing the front fender will the 2000 kx250 front number plate fit right on or am i going to have to mod it at all to make it match up with the mounting holes on the 5hunny 8-)
Foxx4Beaver:
you're going with the 250 front number plate as well?....and what year is your 500?
I've got a 95 500 that I put a 2000 500 front number plate on with an 03 250 front fender....I did have to mod the number plate just a little to mate with the fender tightly.
If you do a search for "2000 kx250 rear fender mod",go to the 3rd page,I have a few pics that show it.

ok i'll check out the pics.. and im not sure if i need to do the number plate.. or even if it would work, i just want everything to look as tho it belongs without having gaps and looking funny, and i have a '99 5hunny
:mrgreen:

BTW Foxx.. that front fender with the number plate looks great.. how much of a mod was it? just a little trimming on the sides?
Foxx4Beaver:
yes just minor trimming mostly where the plate meets the top of the fender,and a little on the sides....little bits at a time,trim it,fit it,mark it,and trim a little more until it was tight.Just take your time and go slow and you'll get a perfect fit.
Your bike being a 99,,,you may get away with alot less trimming if you use your stock number plate than I had to.My stock 95 front number plate is different than the 99-2000.95 came with 3 bolt mounts,I think it changed in 97 or 96 to just one bolt mount,so that's why I had to do most of my trimming.
