It took me another full day to get the rear brake and linkage all sorted out, but I'm still not pleased with it 3 years later. The rear brake will also be a concern if you are keeping the stock setup. Be aware that the chain may foul the engine, frame and swing arm pivot at the ends of the suspension travel, so that may limit the suspension travel. I lost count of how many times I tack welded brackets into place, mounted the suspension (with no spring on the shock), moved the suspension through the full range of travel, found a clearance issue, disassembled it, cut the brackets free, measured and re-tacked the brackets, and repeated. It took me about 4 (12+ hr) days to measure and mock-up my suspension swap. I'm fairly certain that the KX rear spring will be too soft.
I'd be inclined to try making the original KX parts work in your frame, so that you have a better chance of success. Take a look at 's " some assembly required" section to see examples of what people are going through to do swaps. But I may be one of the first to question if it should be done. I'm the last person who would say it can't be done. There is a big difference in requirements between riding a gravel road and riding off road.
