Any other plastics fit the KDX? Newer style KXF for example?
Im after changing the rear mudguard for a start as the original one looks so dated.
Anyone got any ideas? In Kawasaki Green of course

I believe the KX500 rear fender fits (with modification). For the front, almost anything will do if you have to drill your own holes. From my experience, the aftermarket fenders require drilling. I think there is a two piecefront fender form Acerbis that allows you to mix colors.

Mudguard? Mr. Mike assumed correctly that to be GB-ish for 'fender'?
What's the 'dated' part? Are you looking for the 'MX' look without a taillight? Those are a common replacement choice.
As far as 'with modification'..I think
any fender may well require that. The last rear fender I put on was an OEM Kaw KDX fender. I bought it specifically 'cuz I didn't want to mess with something that didn't fit.
Had to fuss with it anyway. I asked a couple of guys that had replaced more fenders than I ever will and their point of view was, 'They're all like that.'
I eventually gave up trying to get the OEM fender holes to match up to the frame holes..redrilled, reshaped, elongated whatever had to be done as was required.
I imagine it's the life of a dirtbike to have things like subframes (what the rear fender generally mounts to) tweaked to the point that plastics fit is problematic.
Good luck with yours!

I put a 2004 (I think) kxf250 front fender from Polisport. Had to make the bolt holes a little bigger but other than that there was no fuss at all to install it. I've got pics in my gallery if you wanna se what it looks like.

Yes, a mudguard is a fender in English in England
Anyway, ive changed the front one for a KXF style front mudguard (or fender if you want to speak colonial

), its the back one i want to swap for more of an MX style as im changing the rear light for an LED DRC one.
Basically i was wondering if there was any companies that had made one specific otherwise i'll adapt one. Would prefer the easy option though

I edited my post with further information concerning things that fit for the rear mudguard. Considering that there is no 'edit' note, that should've taken place before you posted your last. If not..check it out.
I don't s'pose you call a six-stringed instrument fondly refered to as a 'strat' a 'mudguard'?
Cheers from the colonies!!
A btw..but I generally think of the flap at the front of the rear fender (shock protector) a 'mudguard'.
Poetaytoe Poetahtoe...

Yeah, I didn't take any offense (offence??) from the colony thing either. My history isn't long enough to here to get my back up about it. See, my Grandpa and his brother came over from out that way. Of course it was really Ireland, and it was cuz the Brits were going to kill them, but hey no sense keeping a feud going over it. My Grandma knew how to bury the hatchet, since she used to call Grandpa the immigrant. You see, his family was new to Ireland. They had only moved there during the Norman conquest in 1066. Bunch of Johnny-come-latelys, but she married him anyway.

CC, try to think Global economy here. Think about it.. once we get completely infused with La Raza supporters it all gets easier. We move from a high-tech, informaccion-age based economy, to an out-sourced Chicklet selling based economy. There will be no way to support the wealth redistribution philosophies the liberal whack-nuts in our government have implemented to attract the handout seeking hordes, because there will be no wealth. Once that happens, they will simply pass through to Canada. We can then beg the world's shining saviour, the U.N. to improve our little hovel of a country with a grand public works project on par with the Aswan dam. This would be the National Moving Walkway, which spans from Texizona to Windsor. Operating at a speed great enough to discourage leapers, Mexico and Central America should be drained in no time, transported to the great white north, and leaving us with lots of beach front property.

Nice one, was told about these on Canadian Daves. They do an MX style rear end for the KDX
Just hope they ship to Britain.
