New style rear fender
« on: January 31, 2007, 04:46:51 AM »
I have an '02 KX500 and want to mount this LED kit.

It won't mount on my current fender because it is the old style and would cause the LED to point at a 45 degree angle to the ground.

Is there a new style fender I can get for the KX500?

Thanks

I just mounted an aftermarket fender that I think was made for an 03 - 06 kx 250.  It took a lot of cutting plastic and I had to drill new holes.  I also taped some seatfoam to fill the gaps created by cutting the fender to keep excess dirt away from the airbox.  I will get a picture up in a week once I finish a few other winter projects on it.  I have found if you cut enough plastic, anything will fit.  I also know other guys on this forum have grafted the old fender with the new one.

So Arigato...are you saying that the 93 250 is the same mount?

The 93 fender will require about 5 minutes worth of trimming to get it to fit.

here is a shot of the '93 fender, I think, it must be, but I am not positive, I thought it was a '92 but if everyone says the '93 and up then that is likely what mine is too...





You can see in the second picture that the fender bolts up to the airbox perfectly but you will have to trim somewhat and drill new holes for the suframe mounts...  I kinda hacked mine up around the silencer but the next one will be better, I hope...

Is that Baja design a Brake/tail light???  I am looking for one that does both for the street, it doesn't have to meet DOT but something that is decent, no cheap, flimsy crap...

Exactly, it is the brake/tail...super bright! My buddy has it on his TKM and that thing is blinding to look at.
