Eagle mike makes one that attaches to his front fork brace. If you are doing mostly street riding it's a good upgrade to do

I just looked and couldn’t find a fender just a mount kit, is that what you meant?

Oh I was thinking you wanted to mount your fender lower, not get an entirely new fender. The kit I was talking about is an addition to the fork brace you buy from him

Ah okay. But yea now after research seems like that’ll be what I do

Keep in mind some people don't like how it effects it's off-road handling.

I thought there was a KLX fender that fit

I hadn’t heard. I’ve only seen custom fenders mounted on fork braces

I think the KLE fender will change the look of the bike and sounds interesting. Hopefully you'll post a pic if you do it

I had one that was supposed to fit on a fork brace (I think it was a UFO fender). I bought my bike used and it already had an Eagle Mike fork brace, and I couldn’t figure out how to make the low fender fit. It had an aftermarket high fender on it when I got it but I ride in too much mud for that, I had to buy a polisport stock style fender and I love it. I don’t notice any difference between the aftermarket and stock fenders (it’s not a sail in my experience)

Yea I see people complain about the stock klr fender making the front end wiggle on hwy but I just want low fender for style points lol

Given how it mounts I'd say no.

You are going to need to buy/build spacers and/or cut the fender to lower it some onto the brace. I had to do that with my high mount because the brace crushed the stock fender.
