I thought and I am sure I will be corrected by SWeekster our resident historian that USD forks were not introduced till 94 with the advent of the pre-release of the YZF's

Glad to know you guys think of me as a historian. I try to stay in the know as best I can :thumbsup: The forks in question are 91-93 FZR 1000 EXUP USD forks. Most everything else looks to be true Genesis 1000.

Must be great minds think alike and I worked with Yamaha for so long it is corporate mind set LoL 'cause the the only blue Yamaha's were Sonauto / Gauloises and Christian Sarron paint jobs and I only ever saw his TZ250L for real .

Oh well I am still doing my new one in the design I came up with in two shades of blue & white
