I think the stock plastic looks way better, I am just too cheap to pay for it.
ha ha , maybe it wouldn't look so bad if you put some mudflaps on it.

Seriously, FM take the compliment. It looks good.

Here's what I did to my '07, Not too much of a closeup but I will see if i can find a better one later. The stock fender wasn't doin it for me.

Yeah im happy with it.... dont know how the tail light will go once i get mud all over it.... but time will tell and it was cheap.

No welding involved (i dont know how to weld)..... Just some cutting....... I just took the old fender off and cut the big cross member off, then cut through the middle of the back cross piece and with a big bar I bent the rear frame up so it would tuck under the new fender instead of it sticking down. a few coats of anti-rust paint and i was done.

I could have cut all the rear frame off but wanted to keep some strength in the rear + I wanted to attach the rear tail light to the frame instead of the plastic fender.

Obviously depending on how one uses their KLX, removing the rear rack on the KLX would be a real no-no for me. If I wanted a suave looking racerboy appearance, the last bike I would have purchased would be a KLX...LOL!

Function aside, however, those fender/taillight mods do look good. I just couldn't give up the rack.

I did mine this weekend. Opted to chop the rear fender frame a little rather than try to bend and shape. The taillight mount is aluminum and feels very secure bolted to the fender. I opted for much larger turn signals than usually come with the taillight kits. Dumping the farm style rear fender and splash guard does wonders for the lines.
