    Which front fender are you going with?    Looks like the original the bike was sold with.

Correct- Using the same high Plastic fender that you had on the bike.... Since I would Never pay the going price for one of those Orginal Metal High Fender that are out there- this fender really looks good and just fits the look of the bike in my Opinion.

Replying to Todd and Mark.
Greg and I have been talking about new front fenders (High ones for the MX) and I was wondering if he was going to spring for the original type or something different like the DC plastic make a Plastic version on the 94/95 Hodaka fender, which doesn't have the side ridges. As seen here...
www.dcvmx.com/universal-hodaka-model-94-...r-combat-wombat.html

Just glad to see he went with the one I had put on.

Yeah- I did place an order for the Hodaka Front Fender to see what and how that looks...  Just waiting for it to be shipped.

But I will be using the Rick C Fender on the MX for sure!    and using the Hodaka Fender if it looks right on a future 360 MX  project...

Will let you know my thought went it arrives.

Greg,

I purchased the badges from Mike's XS. But, they do not fit my tank? Maybe my tank is from a 175 or 125-are they different sized badges for the CT175 and AT125? If so do you know where I can purchase them?

Yes the 175 and smaller bikes take a different size- the one I posted is for the DT1 250 and RT1 360's

Seems the smaller ones are very hard to find... maybe someone on here has a source...

I did find this video from a few years ago... these badges seem crazy expensive!




Might try these guys
