New MX Front fender (w/ pics)
Ibought aCyrca front fender a while ago for a KX or KXF a while ago, didn't fit right at the time, so I threw it in the corner of the garage. Anyways, the winter blues have beenhittin me hard, and living in CT theres nowhere to ride outside the months of May-Oct, so today I thought I would take the time and fit it up. All I needed to do really was make 4 spacers to go around the bolts, inbetween the fender and fork clamp (Is that worded too akwardlyto understand?!). Also riveted the speedometer cable guide onto it. Anyways, its pretty straight foward, here are the pics.
Here are the spacers I made from some scrap I found at work. Notice the left two are a little shorter than the right two, needed to angle the fender a bit because the back was hitting the frame a little. (Longer ones go in back)
what i was trying to explain above:
YEAH I KNOW I NEED A NEW FRONT TIRE!!!

That's a nice looking fender. It appears to be long enough so you don't have mud being thrown back on you. Yes?
Inexpensive too. $18.95 http://store.cycraracing.com/pefrfe.html ...and available in black!

I havea black front fender made by UFO that looks exactly like that one. I haven't mounted it yet due to the same problems you were having. I have some spacers I was going to try, but, from looking at yours, mine probaby need to be longer.

Yours actually may be ok. AfterI took the pics of those spacers, I ended up using the shorter ones for the back, and even making shorter ones for the front. I wasn't getting enough thread for my liking coming through the longer ones. I didn't measure them, but i'd say the longer of the two pairsI have on the bike are about 5/16-3/8's of an inch, fronts probably only about 1/4". The fender didn't need too be dropped much at all.
