I busted my plastic fork tube cover
 
I was post ride inspecting my bike today and found a piece missing out of my right hand fork tube cover=======my question is====do they make aftermarket ones? are the klx 300 forks the same and can I order some for one of those bikes=====if it isnt a direct fit then I will just spend the 30.00 bucks at the dealer for a new one that fits without having to modify one

I busted one of those and, at the time, there was no after market one available (as far as I could find out).
There were some KX ones but they are not a direct fit.
Can they be adapted?

I think mine cost over $50.:mad::mad:

Try Babbitt's, they have oem parts for cheaper than the dealer. It may take awhile for the parts to get to ya.

I recently ordered a replacement one for the left side from kawi and it was around $35.

I use kx 250 guards and they are not a direct replacement. They work but you gotta fiddle witht them a bit. $29 for both. I think they're UFO guards

i know how you feel, i went for a ride and destroyed the RHS one, replaced that with a genuine unit $50AUD and then on the next ride i cracked the LHS one :rolleyes:. so next time i'll be getting some KX ones and modding them as i dont have the fork slide guides due to fitting seal savers.
I think the guards from the kx250 92-94 fit with some mods as described above. Planetklx has the correct years to suit.

93-97 is what I have.

If you use the extra long seal savers, you could probably just ditch the fork guards altogether.

I'd be carfull who your following. A 450 or 250 2stroke can roost some pretty big rocks.

I dont think I'd ever ride with no fork covers=======what ever broke the cover didnt hit and ding my fork===if you have a ding or a scratch in your fork tubes======I assume it tears the oil seal===the last thing I want is to have a rock---and there are tons where we ride====dent my forks======I need a skid plate too cause I have felt some pretty good thuds on the rocky hill climbs and my luck I'll crack the case with a well placed rock shot
