Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in frames: 2002 vs 2008

If so, what are they?
The initial attraction to motorcycling inflicts people for various reasons and at different stages in their lives. But once someone experiences the elation of riding a motorcycle there's no denying the nearly spiritual effect it has.

The only difference I'm aware of is that the lugs first the mainstand were altered (changed from K5 machines onwards)
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

I believe K3 onwards the steering bearing seats are a bit 'taller' to allow for the taper rollers. Hence when people used to use K3 onward bearings in a K2 they stuck out the frame a bit.

Never seen it myself, but  I recall reading about it.

No problems using  K3 onward bearings in a K2 .

Convert, sounds like a big job coming up. Not interested in getting it checked first?
