You'll find a lot of the 80's kdx and kx front guards look the same and fit straight on.

The only headlights and rear guards I've found have been in poor to very poor condition that won't polish up well and are suitable for painting only.

I've gone to aftermarket rear guards (Stilmotor) to get a good quality item that fits well and is durable (because it's new).
Big downside though, lenses are rare and very hard to find.

Probably not likely to find kdx/klx blinkers but later model ke front blinkers are identical to what we had fitted here in the 80's. The aftermarket ones are pretty shit.

These rear blinkers are right for our kdx/klx and are off a KLR. The ones I've bought with the short arms have come off the front. They're fitted over a few years & models and are also identical to look at to the originals fitted in the day.

The mounts need to be modded a bit to fit though.





Grind off the rubber dicks and take the thread down to the base and cut off the excess thread so it doesn't foul on the guard when mounted.
