If I remember correctly, the swingarm is an inch longer on the "L" models. You may have clearance problems with the 16" rear wheel, but I doubt it. Easy enough to check. Other than that, you would need to drop the forks in the clamps about an inch.

'05 had some changes, but I think '06 was mostly "BNG". You may also want to look at a taller handlebar arrangement, and make sure he's wearing knee pads. :)
