It will not fit except the fork but you have to use the 18 clamps with 19 steering and 18 front wheel with axle
The 19 kx 450 Showa suspensions are the best on market I don’t know why you want to swap them 🤔

X2. Get the showa sprung and revalved for the rider, and coat the parts if wanted. And it will still be cheaper.

Yeah okay well I had found a cheap set so I was considering to get it over getting revalve and getting coatings done as in Australia it takes a long time to get done.

Don’t even get coatings..the outer slide pipes on the kawi has showa dimplush kashima coating inside them already, run them the way they are and just get a good revalve. They are already A kit forks...

Yeah okay well its so confusing as some say there only based on a kit spec and coating them doesn't do to much and then I've read actual a kit forks are way better, then I've heard what you have said in a sense there just as good 😅
