Description
Kimpex fender guards are an essential complement for every ATV trunk seat or back seat. They are custom made for most popular lines of ATVs on the market, and that is why they fit so well to the shape of your Quad, with the same matt or glossy finish as your machine's original baggage rack. When pairing with the Kimpex universal footrest, you provide your passenger with the safety and comfort needed for long rides. The angle and height of the footrest can be adjusted to ensure optimal ergonomics for your passenger. The fender guards are made of steel, and the footrests of aluminum. The fender guards were custom made for the most popular ATV models. Therefore, they fit very well to the shape of your machine, which is an important benefit.
