Rear fender substitute
Bought a 1993 kdx 200 about a month or so ago and have been loving it. PO put moose bars,fmf fatty, and fmf turbine spark arrestor on. Some one also at one point and time removed the front light(as well as odometer) and replaced it with a regular number plate. They also tried to do some "custom" rear fender work. It seems like two different fenders cut in half and they drilled holes in both halves to put a wire through to connect them. Its just not as strong as I would like as it is constantly moving with every bump. Is there any other fenders that will fit it besides the stock one? I like the way it looks now but i want it to be done the correct way.

KX500 rear fender is a pretty easy fit.

The 1999-2002 KX125/250 rear fender fits very well with a little bit of cutting.
Here is a pic of it on my bike.
You have to cut the "fins" off the top and then just trim around the edges until it clears the frame and pipe.

Thanks for the replies guys, that helps out a lot. Did you cut the exhaust tip off? I have the same one and it looks better cut short like that

Re: Rear fender substitute
i want to say ive seen a E model with an H model rear fender on it
dont know how much work it was but it looked real good, the frame bars that usually go on the outside on the E were not visible
i imagine they were now on the inside BUT im not sure

Everyone here seems to love them. I just bought it because it was the cheapest cover I could get.devinz wrote:Yea I meant the silencer. Do yall like gripper seat covers?Thrahl wrote:On my silencer?

I have had no issues with it. I like that my butt stays where I put it until I want to move it.

Re: Rear fender substitute
I don't really like the way the KX fender doesn't match up to the airbox at all. It looks good from the side though!
