[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 961678, member: 56976"] Motometal, I've been told that the tank will bolt on if you get the left side bracket (mimics a rad) to go with it. From a casual comparison of the 1991 KX to the 2003 I can not see any frame differance other than the color and kick stand tab. I haven't tried swaping the tanks though. The new tank and symetrical rad shrouds make the bike feel much better to an adult rider as your knees both have something of the same size and shape to push against rather than one rad shroud that sticks out kinda far and nothing on the other side. We use our 03 for woods exclusively right now and 5wt oil with stiff springs seems to be working very well for us. The trick to getting the forks to work well for me was finding stiff enough springs. Race tech only goes up to .33kg which wasn't going to cut it. Fortunately, I found a pair of .39kg fork springs from R&D racing which seems to be just about right for me (150lbs) in the woods. I'm also working on a headlight for it. I've mounted one from a KDX200, but still need to find a way to power it. They only have lighting coils available for the non-powervalve motors that I've been able to find. I mounted a 12oz flywheel weight to help it hook up in the woods and tame it a bit for my wife. I was surprised to find that I actually liked it (the 03) better with the weight too (and I'm not a new rider, been racing B class Haresrambles and MX for quite a while). To me the newer bike felt like it had a lot less flywheel mass stock than did the older bike stock. With the 12oz weight it feels like it may have slightly more than the older bike. [/QUOTE]
