Actually the pre-2000 bikes have a taller cylinder head then the 2000 and higher models. there is a bump on the head where the coolant hook-up is and the newer models do not have this bump instead mounting more flush with the head. I did fit a 2000 head onto my 97 and installed the 2001 new style tank / seat with 05 shrouds but it was just proof of concept with a burrowed head so I need to buy one and check it out. Should work and the head is only $130.00. I will tell more when I'm done playing around.
