Fork Guards and other various sundries.....
I would like to get some Fork Guards for this 06’ 200. Mainly…well…because they look cool! I am not seeing anything that is built for the KDX…is there any product I can find that will be fairly easy to adapt/modify? I’ve got the technology…just need a starting point! It will be a couple years min before I go for the KX conversion....
How about a disc guard? Rear disk guard? Skid Plate? Recommendations?
And yeah...I"ve "searched" both here and TT...

I should have been clearer... I am looking to put a set of those "blade style" fork guards on....
I see Fredette has a front disc and sorta "lower" fork guard available.
Skid plates are all over...I was just looking for recomendations...
By the way Scheck....I am thinking the DRZ SM is the Perfect second bike to own!!!

yup it's a fun bike to have in SM form to tool around. Not so great for long distance
Don't think anyone makes a blade style (like a kx usd fork guard for the rsu) you might be able to fab / adapt one.

I actually wasn't referring to the riding...but the mud build up on the bike... the clay we have, called "Gumbo" will actually build up on your tires till they wont fit under your fenders!!! When you get done, a pressure washer and about $12 in quarters gets some of it off... but you really have to work it with a stick. I'll see if I can dig up a pic of the gumbo...
Is that what your clay does Wibbens? I grew up in clay country also, but it was different clay than this.....
I haven't ridden in 24 years... but from the age of 5 till 15 I rode a LOT... and surprisingly to me...it was like "riding a bicycle"...
HEy... A guy told me to pull the snorkel out the air box...when I opened it up, he said, pull the whole lid off... is that cool? It doesn't need the lid at all? And...there is a little black electrical box screwed to the lid... whats that???

"The Missouri Breaks National Back Country Byway consists of gravel roads and unsurfaced roads that become totally impassable when wet. Check the weather, and do not attempt to travel the Byway if wet weather is threatening. Even a brief shower can turn the dirt roads into “gumbo” which is extremely slick and binds tenaciously to everything it contacts. Even a 4-wheel drive vehicle, the obvious choice for most back country travel, is no match for the clinging mud. "
Thats the chit right there... nasty... we were pulling a utility trailer behind my truck...4wd on a FLAT surface and barely moving...ended up getting turned around and back to the highway...the trailer was "skiing" behind us cause the wheel wells filled up and locked the tires up...

yup you can remove the lid of the air box to let the engine breath better, you'll need to rejet accordingly. You can relocate the black box on the front of the air box.
The draw back is a more throaty sounds, some don't like it but I don't mind.
Also if you ride in very dusty condition, you'll need to clean the air filter more often.

I like my version better
Stays cleaner, less noise, but still has plenty of pull
