I ripped my KLT around the yard for months with no headlight and no rear fenders, but it looks a ton better with the fenders on, even if they're cracked and painted. I put an LED bar on for a headlight and cut up the beat up headlight shroud to fit around it, looks better the more stuff I put back on the bike to me. I like a beater for doing beater stuff but even just making the bike all one color goes a long way to making a beater look less like a POS. My TRX200 is a no body work POS and that's probably why it sits in the back yard with flat tires and a dead battery, it's hard to get motivated to work on something that ugly.
