Iโm assuming you want to just bolt on not get crazy with the modification of the KYB...
I can't find them but I remember seeing threads on the prior gen bikes. Haven't seen anything pop up for them on the newer bikes though.
So sounds like I'll be ok with my current ride once the shock arrives.
Still curious about the '19 and '20 models. I shouldn't have ridden one ๐ญ

Not fit on the new chassis, unless you want to make a huge mess and start destroying the frame and air box
06-18 is the same as far as physical fitment goes.
06-18 Showa KIT/ works body will not fit on the new frame without some clearancing, and so much so shops like PC have just been retrofitting all the kit internals into the production body. 19/20 shock is also shorter. Stock the 19-20 come with the larger comp adjuster like showa kit shocks. I have a 06-18 kit body sitting at my house because all the guts are in my stock 19 body.
You could run the KYB forks on the 19-20 but you'd need to use the older front hub as the 19-20 axle is larger DIA. Not worth it IMO as the stock 49mm showas are just as good if not better than the works KYB IMO, they are essentially kit forks from the manufacturer for most intents and purposes.
