Default Need new front fender

So I got my 2009 KLX two weeks ago and the dealer had swapped over a set of SF black plastics. This is great, I like the black. Trouble is that the SF front fender is made to fit the tiny SF front wheel and does not work or look right with a dirt front tire. The mud actually flings up onto the top of the fender, the headlight, and my face! So I need a new black fender from the S version and the 2010 KLX250s is available in black so I know they make the part.

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy this fender? Are there any other options that I should look at? Where do you buy OEM Kawasaki parts?

Thank you

That's the part. Shipping is 18.95$ ouch! Looks like I'll be getting a price from the local dealer as well.

You've just got to see the motard fender, it's pretty goofy looking on the big front dirt bike wheel. I think I could add mudflaps made of traffic cone material.

I've never ordered from them but the guys on my Polaris forum seem to like 'em.

Mybe an aftermarket front fender from another bike will work, my bike wears a red 01 cr125 fender and it rubs a tad in the back, If i wasnt so lazy id trim it and itd fit like a glove. Ill post pictures of it tomorrow if your interested. BTW the red matches almost perfectly.
