    Well I ordered 2016 inmold graphic fork guards to update my 2014...they are whte with in mold flo-yellow and blu graphic. They are different than the 14-15 fork lug mounting. they will not fit. my 14 TE300.....dang it. thats what I get for assuming.

    That is to bad, maybe different fork lugs make 4CS forks work better, the 16 are supposed to be slightly improved.

    The '16 bikes get a smaller front axle and it's moved back, so a new fork lug.

    Do like I did to old zokes versus new ones/KYB's.

    Go get you chunk of aluminum/aluminum pipe machined to adapt them.

    What worked best was 1/4 " thick walled aluminum pipe OD sized to ID of fork protector.
    1/4 " gives you room to thread in stock fork protector bolts.

    If I had bike in front of me, I could do it.....

    Just thought?

    Post up a pics here of old ones and new ones?

    Point of thread back on point It looks like I will get 2006 KTM white fork guards they are the ones that fit the 2014 lugs and are open in the back but have good side coverage for the fork slider surface.

    Thought it was to get rid of the wrap around guards on the cc forks

    I don't want the closed back style guards I want the 06 type open back version that fit the 2014 bottom lugs of the forks both the 15 and 16 have a different screw mount pattern.
    So I need WHT older style KTM fork guards (open Back, easy removal)

    The closed backs are a pita you need to drop the fork leg to remove them. I cut the backs to facilitate removal and even put small holes and used small zipties to secure them back, but they just crap out, if I didn't secure them the end overlap and guards rub like crazy on my slider bushings.
