Aftermarket KDX headlight
Having just recently acquired my "95 KDX 200, I am trying to get it up to snuff. The previous owner eliminated the headlight assembly and installed a number plate (he didn't keep the assembly). For my needs, I want to have a headlight, so I am looking to get a replacement. I believe I saw that UFO made an aftermarket replacement assembly and was curious if anyone has an opinion on it or any other type. I'm open to about anything that is recommended and this site looks like a great resource for good advice.
Thanks,
John

John, my situation was similar except that my bike had a busted up headlight shroud with no headlight that looked really nasty. I looked for an OEM replacement for a while on ebay etc, but they are rare and expensive. I looked at aftermarket too and ended up with a Polisport MMX Headlight from Rocky Mountain ATV.
Here's a link

I am told this is fairly robust and it looks good. Kinda even looks like the OEM unit. I haven't installed it yet so I can't comment on installation or operation, but I like what I see so far.

That got a family laugh from us. The whole reason I bought the KDX was to ride with my ten-year-old son who got his first dirt bike for Christmas. On NYE, he and I were going along pretty good in a field and a 20" oak jumped up right in front of him like that. A full-faced helmet kept the dings to a minimum though.

I like this. Stock from a KLX450. Probably to pricey to buy new. I got this one used. Almost looks stock to me.
