it is a little bit different(they changed the design just a tiny bit for the B bikes), but im pretty sure they fit with just a slight ride height change. adjustable links or shims for the shock should be able to fix any ride height issue

notta clue lol, but its really easy to go either way (up or down)you want. im guessing that it wont be much of a change anyway. if its too low, put the shims(washers) on the top of the shock or get shorter links. if its too tall, get longer links

I've got an A model and I had the same questions and ideas you had Twista. I wanted a black arm to replace that God awful silver one(what was Kaw thinking). After researching whether the newer black arms will fit or not, I found it was just as easier and typicall the same price to have my silver arm powdercoated black.....she looks soooooo much better. Talk to a coater in your area.

i wouldve went that route,, but i took a spill 2 summers ago,, and as a result it snaped one of my swingarm sliders off ,, but i agree,, and my red 00 has black wheels,, sort of like the dark side,, thats why im going to see OZZY at the Garden on the 22nd! LOL
