Title: updated front fender
Post by: kmix5 on September 23, 2013, 05:46:58 AM

you can bolt on easily every kx-front-fender ... the trickiest part is to fix the right frontnumberplate to the fender... ;O)

thanks for the info guys! didn't even think of the number plate! I guess I should ask, what's a good fender/number plate combo?

on my solded 97 kx250 i had the 2003 kx125/250 frontfender and numberplate. was an awesome look...  8-) 
 i personally dont like the front fenders that are actual mounted on the fourstrokes kx250/450

I like the 2000 kx250 fender

I have the big green flopping penis on mine......love it...hahahaha.........but I stick with the nostalgic Team Green curved rear fender.  To me the straight rear fenders just don't look right on the K5.

you should look forward where you ride, not always on the frontfender...  :lol: :lol: :lol:...  

everybody should bolt on this front fender what he likes the most to see on the bike ... i have a set of 2000 gasgas ec300 front and rear fenders and a blue plate from tuff-racing on my 87 kx and i love the look of the blue/green  :-)

as far as front fenders...yes,anyone will fit right on....the rear will need some customizing for sure, not sure if anyone on here has done a KXF rear....I'd like to see how it would look.

I like/use the 03-07 KX front...very little modifying needs to be done to the 2000 front # plate.

awesome!  where is the thread with the pic of the straight rear fender, spent 10 min trying to search it, would like to get tht info on the fender used.
 That bike looks brand new!  thought mine looked good. (minus the stock peeling stickers) my side plastics are ok,
  few scratches, but still shiny,

this should be the one you want...there are a couple others too if you search.
the bike itself is a 95....I found some 2000 graphics/seat...and ALL new plastics...you know the "drill".

I have used several different rear fenders.
