Looks good, your tank is in good condition, have you done anything to it? You guys over there got the good forks that year, in the UK, we got the upside downers and they were pretty poor. Overall very nice job, well done.

  I agree with you on the forks. My '89 had a great front end, gave me all the confidence a mullet headed 20yr. old needed to crash harder than ever. :-D Here is a pic of mine back in '90 or '91.
