hello,

new to the forum, GREAT source of information for the new (and old) KLX250S owner.

I have an 09 and I am seriously considering chopping the big ugly rear fender off and/or replacing it with something smaller like the acerbis enduro fender, etc. If anyone has done something similar and is willing to post a pic of the results that would be excellent. thanks

Jim

 

Welcome to the forums!

I did a write-up on my hack-job and signal tuck, view my profile and click on stats, then view threads I've started. Here's a pic:

 

I also cut my fender off. similar to what Cliffsta did but with out the signal tuck.



here's a more recent pic of the bike, not a good one of the fender

 

Thanks for the ideas, I think I'll be recycling some plastic soon!

 

I just bought a rear tail light/plate holder assembly for the KTM, and thought of it when I see posts about the 09.

I think it might work to make that rear fender look pretty good. It dosn't have a plate light, but I am going to use those plate light bolts as a light to get the inspection.
And the price is crazy, I bought it here in Canada for $35

 

Inspired by u guys.. I cut off my rear fender also.. just a straight line *guess it wont look that ugly after I mount the license plate.. *



I only used bolts, nuts & rings..



chopped off the rubber thing (rubber spacer mount parts for the signal) and stuffed it into the hole so it wont move *I hope*

 

Hows everyones rooster tailin effect working...

I cut mine....Not too short....And still get road spray...

Chain guard off is even worse...Soaks your calf area pretty quick....

Here is mine

 

redpillar - Nice! i see you are also in Canada... where'd you get the set up? Internet? I'm in Toronto and am looking for something similar to the set-up you have. any help would be appreciated!

oh, and how much?

 

The plate pretty much catches most everything, and what makes it up and over, doesn't come forward beyond the little black piece behind the green plastic. Although it doesn't take much now to completely obscure the plate and the light
