It was a great idea Rado to do this topic as a separate video - it’s a subject that a lot of people think about. I converted the headlight and rear fender on my 2018 300 XCW into an XC because I like the motocross look over the enduro look. That’s what’s cool about dirt bikes - they’re easy to personalize and to suit them exactly to the owner’s preferences.
Thanks for the tips on retrofitting new fender and headlights on older KTMs. Looks Great Rado and looking forward to the next video in this series! Cheers!
Great video - everyone has to buy new plastic at some point.. might as well make it look a generation newer at the same time. I do this with Hondas and older KTM's.. and I did a plastic swap on my friends 2000 YZ250 to make it look almost like a new bike! Too bad the suspension doesn't work like new. 😂
Can you please do a kx250 motocross build I have one and I would love to see which direction you would go with it. And I love your channel and how much you go into detail I have learned alot by watching you do these bike builds keep doing what you are doing.
It's nice that your front-brake line routes through the shield. On my 2020 XC, I have to run the brake line behind the shield. I could install a longer brake line but haven't bothered yet. I'll see how much it bothers me over time.
Looks great! I use to like the 2011 fender but not so much anymore. I put a Jagermeister sticker/ graphic on my front fender so it doesn't look too bad, but I do need to upgrade.
Awesome video! What tyres (model & sizing) are you running on the bike? Also what brand/year is the white plastics and headlight from? Great video and nice content. Thankyou!
With all the money going into this bike I would suggest you reach out to x-trig and get a set of red triple clamps or whatever color you like, or go with a factory one
the computer sits very well ! and i think it doesnť need bilet holder around the computer just because weight . (3mm alllum. sheet)Base under the voyager may be solve it. my view , THUMBS UP!!
I am going to do this to my 2010 300exc I just need to work out how the rear plastics can be done maybe the airbox has to be done so it will fit would like to see how this can be to match the front thanks for the great information 👍
I have a 2012 XCW KTM updated the airbox and it no longer properly works with the OEM Tail Fender. I had to custom fab the original fender to work with the updated Air Box. I'm guessing KTM updated the fender as well but can't 100% confirm. One would hope.
Hey. I have a 2009 ktm 250 xcf-w and just finished manufacturing one of those brackets to fit the newer style front fender on. However I find the look of the old radiator shrouds ugly and was wondering how I would go about fitting the newer shrouds abs possibly the entire back end onto my bike. I’ve heard it requires the corresponding years gas tank and subframe but I figured I’d ask someone with experience rather then blow $800 on parts first.
hi Luke, I did some research too and based on what I found out it wasn't worth it, some of the upgrades needed little bit of welding too.. sometimes you can bolt on one model year newer style shrouds and its ok.. you need to do the research.. I am able to run 2015 shrouds and airbox cover with 2012 rear fender and 2012 airbox.. good luck man!

@@dirtniron , think ya missed my point. They're worth more that way. And a 2 stroke, in 10 to 20 years, no they won't be drastically different at all. Same old 2 smoke technology. Some things just don't change bud. Goodluck though

thanks Carl, glad you think so!

thanks Peto, interesting idea ;)
That first one still looks the best headlights are horrible now. Like that new fender though
interesting, I love the headlight.. thanks for sharing
What’s a good front end/headlight upgrade for a 09 KTM 300?
Cool man
What Dunlop tyres are you running here on the KTM? I think they look great! Size and type please!
I have a 03 300exc I’m hoping to modernize will this kit work for me, is it the same as the one you did the 04 build with?
I am going to do this to my 2010 300exc I just need to work out how the rear plastics can be done maybe the airbox has to be done so it will fit would like to see how this can be to match the front thanks for the great information 👍
I would not do much to the airbox, I would just upgrade the front and get new plastics for the rest. Your call tho ;)
I have a 2012 XCW KTM updated the airbox and it no longer properly works with the OEM Tail Fender. I had to custom fab the original fender to work with the updated Air Box. I'm guessing KTM updated the fender as well but can't 100% confirm. One would hope.
1:22 omg what's the name of the headlight? It looks so good
How can the rear of the bike be done. I see the 2013 airbox covers look different to the 2012 350sxf
Nice from dominican Repúblic 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
thanks Anthony
If you didn't point out the gap... I would have never noticed. The front end looks fantastic 👍
Glad you like it! yea its not that bad ;)
How do u update my 2015 690 to the new design the middle one too, to be exact!!
I was just wondering can I put a 2016 Krm 250 sxf front fender on a 2014 model?

What are the chances, my Polisport adapter kit and Motominded Squadron bracket arrived just a few days ago! Stoked to get mine mounted up
cool! thats a nice combo
Thanks for putting this out I just got my platics from acerbis. If I'm going from a 16 to a 17 front fender I should just be able to bolt on correct?
yes, you dont need anything, it will bolt right on
Question. I have an 04 250 exc. If I wanted to put a set of 2013 triple clamps on will they bolt straight up?
I dont know it 100% but I think they should fit right in. Measure the stem width and length, see if it takes same size bearings and you should be good
Is there a link to order these plates?
Hey I have a question so I have a 2015 ktm 125 and I wanna get a new front fender would it fit
Where would i be able to buy that adapter thing ?
so if i got the same bracket for my 06 ktm250sx i can run up too a 2017 front fender?
Why is the headlight number plate have rubber straps but the other plate bolted on? You think it would be opposite🤷♂️
hmm.. interesting :)
I just picked up a 07 KTM 250 XCW. Any idea from anybody if i could put a headlight on it? I cant find a good answer anywhere

I have one also, do you have the link where I can buy the brackets and the front fender and the headlight. Thank u
Can I change the whole bike's plastics to newer model ones?
No it doesnt fit, too much hassle
This is great!
thanks Elias
i believe your 2004 had problems with fitment because the exc had cast triple clamps unlike your 2011 xc which has billet ones
yes, that could be the case
Hi Rado, digging the orange seat on the new build 12:40 approx onwards in your video, does not look very comfy though :-)
hahaha, I am saving that for my bobber build ;)
What is the link fir the nihio?
Hi can i find a used cylinder ktm 250 xcw 2009 from you ?

In 10 to 20 more years, y'all will be undoing your updates and putting the bikes back to stock
I will be riding very different bikes in 20 years.. thats too far in the future..
