Radiator is also bigger, so don't go buying a K4 onwards one in the hope that it might fit! HTH

Oh, and if you're after an undertray, needs to be K3 specific because you have a longer subframe to the K4 onwards.

Most obvious visual difference is in the rear subframe. K3 is straight, K4 has a small kink just aft of the riders seat.

Never undertsood why they modfied the subframe - I think the K3's are the best looking (especially in silver). The k4s+ look like they are dragging their @sses like a dog with worms!

I think it was to lower the seat height?
