What brand fork guards?
Does the top triple have isolated or solid pedestals?
KDXs are cute with those on front. Folks look at it...don't rightly know what it is!
'What is that?'
'It's a motorsickle!'
Looks good..except...it's WAY too clean!!
(I figger that if I repeat that enough..you might be shamed into going out and getting it all mucky!'
You'll love 'em!!

I think they are the stock fork guards for the KX (they came with the package).
Pedestals? Not sure. Is that the bar mounts? If so, the bar mounts have rubber mounts and bolts just like the KDX stock bar mounts. The rest of the clamp is a solid billet unit.
I am going to get her dirty on Thursday. Practice run before the race on the 16th.

Sweet. Really turned out well. Once you get the clickers adjusted, you will be happy you did the conversion. Nice brake line too.
WR sold. Now have 03 and 04 KDX 220s.
KXF 250 forks. RB Carb and Head. FMF rev pipe. Long live the KDX !!!
