Does anyone either have or can trace a pattern of a 83 KX front fender brace? I really want one on my 83. Ive always liked that look
Thanks
-
I've got an 84 one I can trace the pattern off, if they're the same.
-
83's didnt have them, so they are from 84 as far as I am aware.
:)

hi maxpower. can you please email me again dont know what happend there
83 was gold and 84 was silver should have 1 of each left let me know what one you want
thanks bumper

Thank you for your help guys. I didn't expect any responses. I appreciate the help
You are right Hardo. The 84 had the brace. I like the look of it with the smooth round fender that came on that bike.
-
I seem to be having a hard time with the PMs. Can Bumper or Nathan email me please? [email protected] I very much appreciate the help on me getting a fender brace on my KX. Thanks

I've got 1 on my 82 if that's any help

I'll bet it looks good on your bike Piney. I still have not found one. I'll admit,asking someone that doesn't know me from Adam to remove a brace from their bike to trace it and mail it off is a lot to ask. Could you maybe take a top view pic with your phone and email it Piney? I'd be beyond grateful
I will wing it and create one from the picture. How did you mount it Piney? Did you drill and tap two holes in the top of your bottom triple? Thanks !

No prob
Been off the air (Bathurst)
I'll get some pix over the couple of days
Cheers Piney

Sorry, I didn't forget, just been busy.
This should get you 99% of the way there (even though my high school tech drawing teacher would be outraged).

Three dimensions are missing:
1. The radius of the outside edge onto the rear mounting tabs.
2. The radius on the rear mounting tabs back onto the body of the brace (between the mounting tabs). Probably R15.
3. The distance between the front and rear mounting points. I'll check tomorrow and post back.
The rectangular holes are all the same size/shape.
The three forward "rungs" are all the same width.
And after measuring mine, I remembered that it has been linished down - it should be 3.0mm.

Thank You so much. The effort you made is more than anyone could ask for. I was asking for a picture and I was going to guess approximate dimensions. You took it so much further by labeling everything. I can't thank you enough . As well as everyone that had responded here.

GMC has a diagram that's WAY better. Have you seen it?

Just need a confirmation on those last details Nathan then I can post it

Could that have been a diagram of a cone exhaust for a KX?
Thanks again for those dimensions. I don't know what more I would need ,what you did was perfect. Except maybe a conversation to inches.
As a carpenter by trade, I wish we used metric measurements here
-
Nathan. Help me out here. I can't find the nice pic you had uploaded with the dimensions
I thought that link you posted brought me directly to it
-
The link to the album is I'm my post 16/10/15, 9:33.
If you can't see it, I'll try again.
-
Sorry Nathan. I must have bumped my head.
I do the same thing trying to get something out of the refrigerator and I call my wife because I can't find it and it's right in front of my face.
It worse when I do it with tools at work.
Thanks

From what I could make out from Nathans hieroglyphs it should look something like this
