Does anyone have any knowledge or experience trying to get the 2019 ktm plastic on a 2017 or 2018? I know I’ll need to change the tank, radiators and possibly airbox. It looks like the 2019 has a different airbox but the mounting points on the subframe look the same to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I know I can bolt something on there to make it "legal" but I want OEM-like fitment
The new plastics look bitchin IMO. For sure the subframe would have to be swapped (if it fits). Probably tank too.
Silencer mounting points were not the same with the updated subframe on the 2 strokes. Only one of the two silencer mounts for the long pc silencer are able to mount up. Not sure how the 4 stroke mounts will do for you, but anything can be fabbed or tweaked to fit if you have the ambition to do it.
In my opinion he should have sold the 17 and bought a 19. Depending on what you can get parts for you're looking at $800-1000 for the body update on a bike with a couple of seasons under it. Anyway, that's a different topic.

2017MY EXC (last model with carburetor) with 2019 (TPI) plastics
I was expecting that the MY2018 EXC (first model with TPI) would have some changes on the sub-frame, tank/radiators that would make them not compatible with my MY2017, but I called the store i was buying the plastics from and asked them. They said they were compatible , and they were right, since i was i able to fit them.
Radiators are fine. Need Subframe, tank, seat and plastics. Plus a bunch of tiny parts (you can find them in the diagram on RMATV website under OEM parts).
You can even go as far as changing the clutch cover and stator cover to match the KTM bikes, but I just chose to use black engine guards as it looks great!
