2019-2020 KTM plastics on 2016-2018

I know there were threads about it awhile back. But with being quarantine and local tracks closing, I’ve had time to give it a shot.



So, I have a 2018 125 SX seen above, I also have a 2018.5 450 SX-F FE. I wanted to be able to run the newer style plastics on both bikes. I bought a 2019 fuel tank and subframe. And used the plastics from my factory edition just to mock it up. I had to do some trimming on the radiator louvers to get the shroud bolts to line up. Also, had to remove the rubber grommets that hold the tank on the side of the frame. Other than that, everything else lines up.


The only other modifications that need done is the mount for the silencer. The brackets on the 18/19 subframes are different. My solution was to make a new can and drill new holes for the mount. Luckily I had access to a faro arm 3d scanner, made a cross section imported that into cad and made an internal mold that I’ll wrap in carbon and remove the mold. Drill the holes and rivet the bracket back on.


When it’s all said and done, much cheaper than buying a 19-20 125 SX. And I still get to have an orange frame that matches my 450. Win win in my book. Let me know what you guys think.
