Title: Putting front fender and number plate off a newer model KX450f on my 07 KX450f
Post by: ejay450f on May 06, 2014, 12:31:40 PM

Hey guys.

I've got an 07 KX450F. I'm getting new plastics and sticker kit for it, and I was wondering if the front fender and number plate off a newer KX450f would fit? If so, what years would fit? Trying to clean it up a bit, make it look a bit nicer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

you can use virtually any front fender, they'll bolt right on without any problem...if you use the same year front number plate as the fender you choose, it will match/mate right up to the fender without any modifying...but you might have to modify or do some minor trimming behind the plate...nothing you shouldn't be able to handle.

If you use the "Search" option, there are a couple threads on updated front fenders.

I use an 03-07 fender with a 2000 # plate on my 95 K5...a little trimming needs to be done on the plate, but it's the look I like.

Thanks for the advice mate. Just wasn't sure if the holes on the '13 front fender would match up with the holes on the triple clamps on my '07. The bike and engine are getting a ground up rebuild and the fender and number plate need replacing so I thought I might put ones off a '13 on it just to make it look a bit newer. Yours looks good, I like it =)

Agreed. We need to drag USMC out kicking and screaming if we have to.
