That would be the KX kit I believe... that magnet bolt size is different.

To be clear, it depends more on what hub you have than what forks. Vince is right in that the KX has a different bolt. I still had my install kit for my computer, and they included a magnet, which I epoxied onto my KX rotor. Some day I'll probably order the proper magnetic bolt from them, but the glue job has held fine through many rides and pressure washes.

To avoid the cutting and glueing of the brake line guide, buy the newer style KX hose guide, it's much wider and allows the sensor to slip right through. cost me something like $7 at the dealer.

The disk brake bolt on my KX rotor was a different size than the KDX. 8mm vs 6mm (?) I can't recall but I think the KX was thinner (don't quote me). Anyway, tell them what you're doing and they're smart enough to figure it out. They sent me both magna-bolts just to be safe.

I wouldn't want to have to buy one of those if I busted it either I bet.

Yeah, I bet that thing is MUCH more expensive than the Vapor, and it offers less functionality.

Seeing as they want 90 bucks for the fender bag on a KDX 200, that computer oughta be worth at least 2 grand. :cool:

I just called Trail Tech and told them what I have ('03 KDX200 with '04 KX125 front end). Chris said to definitely go with a kit based on the front end, and he suggested their '04-'07 KX125 Vapor kit (part # 75-300), $125.45 including shipping from WA state.
