Not necessarily.

The K3 was a bit of a strange beast, with a different rear sub-frame and toolkit location among other things, meaning different swingarm to rear component distances.

You're best off sticking to K3 parts, and I'd try to be picky between "S" and "N" models too, as I can't remember if the swingarms are different.

If the seller seems convinced it's OK, and they have a returns policy, then you should be fine. I suspect there's more room for a K3 hugger than later ones anyway so you may be OK.
