Great, thanks for the input. The hoses were my greates concern. I figured I could get something together that could remedy any mounting issues, but depending on what they did with the hose barbs it could awfully tough to fudge.
By "guards" are you referring to the shrouds? For some reson I am under the impression that *some* later years will fit.
I'm a bit suspicious of the fiche. I don't remember if it was KX500 fiche or something else, but compared two different years that I *knew* were different, and it was the exact same picture w/ different numbers.
Thanks again!
