I don't know if they make them any more but Works Connection used to make frame guards for the E series KDX's. My 89 came with a set.

Does anyone have a picture of the UFO frame guards, preferably for an H model? I'm curious as to how much frame they actually cover.
I need to repaint the "boot area" of my frame, and unless I put frame guards on it, I'll just have to repaint again in the near future...

Did anyone in the Gallery have any? If not, and no one else knows of a picture, you might want to look on eBay (both current and completed auctions). KDX's on there sometimes have aftermarket parts, and you can see what they look like.wanaride wrote:Does anyone have a picture of the UFO frame guards, preferably for an H model?

Ah, I looked through many gallery pix and only saw one...a plastic piece that was the exact same color as the green frame. They were zip-tied onto the frame...are these the UFO guards?
I really expected skipro and other "hardcore" KDX'ers to have them, but I was mistaken...

I've just stuck on some aluminum Works Connection type guards. They do a good job. I also took some clear heavy tape like stuff and put this on my frame right after I painted it after it wore off. The tape came from a ski shop and is used to cover the tops of skis so the graphics won't be trashed. I'm sure that any automotive place would also have the clear self-adhesive stuff to put on the rock guards / lower portion of the body of a car as well.
So paint the frame as touch up, cover with clear self adhesive vinyl material then install a set of guards. The frame should stay pretty after that.

I get my mommy to put a warm, folded, wet washrag between my boot and frame before I go riding. Sometimes to surprise me, she will hide a small Zip-Loc bag of marshmellows in it.

I would post a photo but I lost my digital camera cable to upload to my computer with.
You are right though, they don't go very high up. But since the do force your boot out just a bit, there is very little frame contact. That's why I used the clear vinyl on the upper exposed part of my frame.
I'll get a photo up as soon as I can.

Sounds good. I saw a picture of them on the WC website and they go higher than I remembered. Besides, like you said, they will force the boot out a little thereby minimizing frame contact. I'll order them soon Lord willing.
Any chance that clear packing tape will do the same thing as your "ski tape"? I may try that out anyway since I have some handy.

The ski tape is just like the stuff for number plates or radiator shroud graphics; a heavy (12 mil or so) soft-to-the-touch vinyl. The clear packing tape doesn't hug as well and I don't think it will lay down or hold up as well.
