It was time for a new fender so I gave the 250 mod a try.  Turned out great.  Very simple to do.
I used a Polisport fender.

Looking good..

I Like this fender mod much more than the other one.... Other one looks too much like a stink bug for me.

I too fitted the newer(2002KX125) fender. It looks like Kawi herself intended it to be there.
I still have to fabricate a mount for the front of the fender. My plan is to have an aluminum tab welded to to the left subframe strut and use the factory mounting hole on the left side of the fender.
**Just a warning for guys running wider tires.... they RUB and RUB hard at full compression.
I have a Millerville 120 and have a look at the pictures after a few hard landings.

did y'all have to use the screws into the airbox to align the fender? i bolted my seat on after modding it this evening and tightened it down and it made my fender a little crooked to the right. loosened the seat and push on the flap part against the airbox and it looked like it lined up straight. need another person to eyeball it from a distance so i can put two screws in the airbox. may have to take some staples out and trim a little more of the seat. i think it's pressing on the fender some and pushing it out of alignment a little too.

KevenW...
Does the fender sit straight before the seat is bolted down?
Bolting the seat down should not change anything.
Sounds like you have more trimming on the seat to do!

My fender looks straight to me.  Maybe your subframe is tweeked a little bit.  I haven't bolted mine to the airbox yet.  I may just leave it as is.  I have already ran one desert race since I put it on and it doesn't seem to move at all.

You guessed it Polar.  May have done it a couple times. Loved it every time though.  I should probably have a few fenders on reserve.

I love the more aggressive look of the 2000 kx250 rear fender. Just picked one up from UFO Plastics. I will try to get pics of the install once I get my subframe fixed and rewelded. Anyone know of a good front fender that will fit and match the newer aggressive look?

2000 KX250 rear,with an 03 KX250 front.There's a thread on exactly how to cut the rear,just do a search and you'll find it easily.I had to modify my front number plate a little to fit the front fender good...that's if you keep the stock KX500 front number plate,which I did.Total time to do everything was roughly an hour,just go slow and don't over cut...just cut a little,put it in place and mark where you need to cut some more.   
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ
