It is the same for 96-2006.

It is not a big deal to swap the stem. get any KX front end 96 or newer.

Ok. I'll put that on my watch list.

And just to clarify we are talking the whole front end and not just the forks?

Really it's just the triples, and forks. People have reused KDX wheels and brakes. Sniff around.

the kdx stock front wheel has the odo mount, you can reuse it on the kx swap if you can make a adapter for it, not many have done that, but it's possible. It's just much easier to get the whole front end and not have to deal with that.
