The new KDX is getting there. Gold Valved the forks, put on the black wheels, found a KLX headlight on Craigs List and a tail light in the paper as she's gonna get a plate.

That headlight looks sweet. Any certain year we need to look for when getting one of these?

I think any year of the KLX450 will do. Kawasaki thinks a lot of them ($$$), so I wouldn't buy one new.

I am trying to land one as well. Any leads would be appreciated.

The one I have came off a modded KXF250 that was headed for the 2009 ISDE. The kid didn't make it due to injury, so his dad is selling off parts.
I'm going to see him this weekend at my race (Wooly Camel 100, Fallon NV., come one come all) I'll ask him if there's any more cool stuff such as another headlight.

I really like the KLX headlight but had to figure a way to mount it...

The KLX top mounts are much wider so I modified the stockers thus...

Image

Nothing fancy here... hand tools only

Image

Black nail polish... an old street bike guy trick

Image

High tech paint dryer...

Image

Looking good...

Image

Looks fairly clean...

Image

Looks good... now I gotta figure out how to mount the bottom

Image

oh yeah.. check this out .. bleeding the forks is key to a smooth ride

I think these are the same as the KLX250 headlight, which are made in Thailand (where I live) and are much cheaper over here. I will be in Kawasaki next week, if you'd like me to check the price, pls list the part numbers.

I have a KLX front mudguard on my 220, looks quite good.
