1998 kx250 front mudguard
« on: July 16, 2015, 07:10:43 PM »
Just wondering if its possible to fit a more modern front mudguard to my 98 kx250? Ive seen other 98's with the more modern pointed front mudguard..is it just a simple swap from old to new or is there other mods that need done to fit it?

Thanks GRARA.

You can put whatever you want on the front.
At worst a drill and 5 minutes will do wonders.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

I put a 2014 KXF 450 fender on my 2004 KX 250, and it bolted right up.  I think the bolt pattern on the front fender has stayed pretty constant over the years. 
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

It really freshened the look of my bike.  The fender fit with no issues, but I had to modify the front number plate a little bit to get it to fit.  The 04 plate had pins that went into two holes on the triple clamps, where the 14 number plate had holes that went over pegs on the triple clamps. I just cut the pegs off the 04 plate and glued them to the 14 plate and it fit like a champ.
