I'm trying to work out which of these is the best option, I've just bought a pair of forks (without triples) and have a spare engine.
Getting the work done is easy enough for either job. The hybrid sounds great, but the small tank is a big disadvantage to me, as I mainly ride with 4 strokes. I know I can get a larger tank, but I would have to import it which pushes the cost up considerably.
So I guess the question is how much better does a hybrid handle compared to a KDX with upgraded forks? Should I put my efforts into my present bike and keep the spare engine just in case?
Here's some before and after pics of conversions done in Thailand:

Hybrid or Fork upgrade?

Nice conversion. The kx hybrid wouldn't be as involved but if gas tank is an issue, then stick with the kdx. more than capable once the suspension are tuned.
