You can throw on any year front fender....it's the front number plate you'll need to figure out...you will more than likely need to mod it to fit...even if you get the same year #plate as the fender.
Slight chance you might be ok, but expect to do some mods of some kind....easy trimming to fit mods.
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ

The 2008 KXF 450 shrouds will bolt on at the tank, but you will need to make a couple of brackets for the two bottom holes. I have a set on my 2005 125, and they look really nice. You can also use 2009 KX 250F fork guards and eliminate the guides that clamp on the forks without having to worry about the guards sticking out. The 2014 fender bolts on with no issues, but you will need to modify the number plate with something to hold it to the triple clamps. The 2005 used posts on the number plate and holes in the clamps. The 2014 is opposite. You could even use a couple of zip ties if you don't want to modify it too much.

The back is another story. You would need to modify a lot of things to get anything newer to bolt on. LundMX has a video on YouTube where he modified an entire later model subframe to fit. It looks trick, but was a lot of work and included welding.

I just reread that post and saw you were only asking about fenders. Sorry, I'm on vacation and my brain is not plugged in today.

It all comes down to how much time you wanna put into, and how good you are with "fitting/trimming".
A dremmel tool with small cutting wheels makes it a breeze.  :wink:

You'll be fine...just trim little bits at a time, then hold it up into place, see how it looks....trim a little more if needed, hold it up in place again...and repeat until it fits nice and snug. 😎

This was done on a guys bike I was reading about a few days ago.  They are now in the process of making a kit for the 125 and 250 that will allow you to put the new plastics in place.  I am sure it will be pricey!  But it completely changed the look..

Here you go Umberto..  VERY CLEAN!!  Under the last picture in the article "A full kit is in the works for KX125/250 and should be available later this year."   I may have to sell something to get that kit for the 250  :-D
