Any modern KX front fender will bolt on with minor modifications (redrill the mounting holes)

Seems to me new grafics work wonders aswell

Like DIY said, and KX fender can be made to work, as well as front plates. Rear fender you have a couple aftermarket options (UFO, Maeier). Side panels, shrouds you are stuck with OEM. Graphics help. Dropping the KDX engine in a newer KX frame works really well too :supz:

I have a late kx250/450F front fender and Maier MX rear fender on my 97 220. The Polisport front number plate took a little Yankee ingenuity to make it fit/bolt up.

Just finished completely rebuilding a 2001. Bought one of those 28 dollar Chinese KLX style headlight assys off eBay...and I think it really updated the look of the bike.

looking good
now convert her to USD forks with a KLX front fender (make sure you install those uber-cool kdxrider.net decals instead of those Kawasaki ones) and your all set for the 21st century
