1992 kx500 lower fork guard options
« on: July 21, 2014, 05:34:11 AM »
lost a fork guard this weekend and looked for aftermarket on the sites but they don't list any guards earlier than 94.  I don't want to buy OEM if I can do a little better...it would be good to have a wider (wrap around) style. 

 I see UFO has a set but it looks like OEM.
I looked at Polysport and Acerbis but they are for a 94. Will it fit? is there a wrap around style that is better?

The 94 guards have an extra bolt on the side of the lower portion of the guard, you can just leave as is or simply take a blade to remove the extra part of the guard.

The 94 & Up style offers much more protection for the tubes too.... :-D

I bought the polysport guards for a 94.  they bolt on with no problems, I also made a slot at the top of the guard on the brake line side and fitted the brake line in.  1 zip tie and the brake line stays in place.

thanks for the replys
