Hey KX500freak... can I get you to snap some shots of inside the fender (under) so I can kind of guess where you made your cuts Before I make mine

Also can you shoot a pic from top view of how it mates up to the seat...
It seems that unlike the 93 fender mod.. There WILL BE a gap between the seat and fender... I could be wrong being in early mock upstages, we shall see...

Cut the ridges off tonight, took 5min with a dremel...

so ,i have made a couple of vids ,from both bikes,

the supermotofender stays an inch lower then seatheight ,and no gap whatsoever.

the dirtbikefender meets seat heigt.
but that in essence was an unknown surprise ,that the 2000 fender raised to seatlevel,
therefor a fingernail wide gap btween seat and fender is inavoideable ,
just in order to reach that height,

the pics reveal that you need to cut all the ridges ,
then it must be cut in a tapered shape downwards
and there are 2 small cuts to make on top,
in order to be able to let the seat sink to mounthole-height again.
this is invisible when seat is mounted

thats all to it ,im more then happy with it
it s up to you now ,dave

Few new pictures added of work done in the spair 5min I had today...

Note I did the seat pan mod as done to the 93 rear fender... may make it not nessisary to cut the protrusions off the fender like you did...

how is the fender ,are you pleased with it?

i have an update tho ,i got me a tall seat just yesterday
now this one sits a bit further of the fender ,but still looks good enough for now

Motorrad · « **Reply #26 on:** September 15, 2009, 07:03:21 PM »

I dropped the ball on this one. Plan on finishing it's mounting over the next 3 days. Bump to top for my own reminder

way to make em fit! looks good.

I'm waiting for my black 93 kx250 plastic in the mail.
I agree these look way better then stock

Okay. Realize I never got around to doing a writeup... OOps...

But here are some pics.. so you can get the idea..

To make it fit, you have to
1. trim all the "tabs" on the back of the fender.
2. trim to clear the exaust
3. Modify seat pan (just like the 93 fender mod)
4. Screw lower portion to airbox.

I really like the way this fender looks VS the 93 one. (doesnt look like a stink bug)..

93 fender in center, 2000 fender and K5 fender on outside..
