Unfortunately that is wrong. The KH 500 cases are different to allow the 1 down 4 up shifting mechanism to work. KH 500 is unique in several areas.

there is a added threaded boss cast on the KH cases for the shift drum detent. The drum, and engine shift arms are different, and you have to get the screw in detent.

I have done it also JP. You just have to have machining skills and an understanding of what needs to be done. Most guys have no idea, if it's not a bolt in.

I was just pointing out there is a boss on the KH cases that make it different.

You're right when it'sn't bolt on, plenty of guys can't do it ;)
