I had 90 kx forks on my kdx220 and once revalved / resprung they worked much better then reworked stock units, and are barely longer than the stock ones. There's just enough room to slide the forks up a little in the clamps to not change your ride height. With the kx triple clamps it's a direct bolt on(same stem bearings on both bikes and stem length), even the steering stops line up perfectly. I used the kx front wheel assy on mine. The bikes take different wheel bearings due to the kx having a beefier front axle, so my guess is easiest route is to get the kx wheel and front brake assy also.

you wll also need the kx caliper for that year,but as mentioned the yokes of that year bike should bolt straight in.
