I raced 3 wheelers. Did real well too. (MX and TT) 82 ATC250r Then I got reassigned to Germany and started racing a Maico 490 now that bike tried to kill ya. (mostly just when you tried to kick start it. LOL )
Back on topic what year KLR? Okay so really back on- For the paint on the fender you using one of the plastic paints? (fusion etc) The Krylon stuff held up well on my DT. |

That was my plan, but then I held the orange supermoto fender up to the TS185 (which is orange), and I love it. I might buy another supermoto fender (undrilled this time) and just go with that.

The orange, Polisport Universal Supermoto Fender is really very nice.
 I bought two more, undrilled fenders for my Zong, since they were on sale for $5.99.  Spud

To revive a very old thread, I sold the TS185 on the weekend. A nice young man bought it as his first street bike, and he just completed a MSF course. He had a scooter previously, so he has some road experience already.
He is quite happy with the bike so far, and I'm pleased that it went to a good home.

You're welcome. I did quite a bit of work to the TS in preparation for the new owner, because he has no motorcycle maintenance and repair experience.
I discovered that the airbox was actually for a TS125, which explains why it was such a poor fit. I bought a TS185 airbox on eBay, and a new air boot from Bike Bandit. I also swapped out the forks for a pair I scored on eBay, since mine were a little bent and the finish was wasted. He intends to slowly work on the bike and repair the seat and tank. I'll follow his progress and take pics when I have the opportunity.
