need to cut subframe to fit MX rear fender?

[happydog]

Hi Guys - the KDX is going on a diet and one of the first things I am looking at is fitting a rear MX style fender. Does anyone know if the subframe needs to be cut on a 99 model? And if so, do you need to then weld a cross brace for strength? I think the earlier models had a bolt-on job..

Nothing NEEDS to be cut, although I cut the ends off the bars (post cross brace) where you can see them sticking out below the sides of the fender

what is mx style fender? the reason i ask is cause my bike doesnt have a rear fender at all and the pics i see with tail light light kinda look sucky, is there any way to put like a kx 125 rear fender on or maybe aftermarket bolt on?

That would be a KX style fender, MX is short for mototcross.

Yeah, I did the same thing. I cut them and then stuck the plugs back in the cut ends.
