White konas? Yaaaawn. Yours will be just like another million painted the same. I know its personal opinion but stick with the original paint scheme.
Does it really need painting anyway? Remember, once the original paint has gone it'll never be the same.
Aren't those forks WAY too long? 50mm travel forks are the norm really on a bike like that. Looks a bit odd as it is.

Rob, after seeing your 94 Kilauea I'm tempted to go with all silver!! Beautiful rebuild by the way 
As for my forks, they were a product of update whilst I was racing and I agree that they do look high (and ride high with the riser bars too), but it does handle very well.
I do tend to have the forks set at the lowest ride (80mm) anyway
Never thought my bike looked odd - I love it, and that's why I want to lovingly restore it and if I can get anywhere close to what you have achieved I 'll be very very happy!
