I am looking for a replacement seat that will lower the seat height such that my son can ride the bike, without going to the extend of changing the suspension. It seams all those gripper styles are just covers to put on the existing seat. Does anyone know where to buy one? Also, what about a replacement rear fender that looks more like a KX without the light?
Regards,
Doug

Lots of threads on here about lowering the KDX and you might want to do a search. As for just lowering the seat--take off the cover which is attached with staples and use the family electric carving knife to lower the foam seat about an inch or so. Recover with the orriginal cover using correct length staples and you have a lowered and a little harder seat!

As for an MX-style rear fender, look at www.maier-mfg.com.

The electric knife works well just mark out with a marking pen where you are going to cut.

I have not seen any responses that suggest changing that dog-bone to a shorter one to lower the back end. Is this a good idea? Does someone back a shorter part? This attaches to the swing arm and appears if a shorter one is put in, it will lower the bike.
Any thoughts?

You can use shorter dog bones. Do a search & find many answers.
