fork replaced
the fork has been replaced, looks great, what i noticed because i had the chance to see a brand new 1993 sunburst next to my 1992 sunburst, that the 1993 sunburst has some more red and pink and less yellow than my bike from 1992.
so great job by Jon, quite hard to paint a fork in the right color without having the original bike next to it! see the pictures, looks way better now (a little, but really only a very little ;-) too much pink, hard to see) and makes fun to ride, the old klein feeling back again, more direct and more stable.
also replaced the switch for adjusting the saddle pole. and new brake pads, the original XTR are a little hard by now ;-)
next step, echanging the tires with some amberwalls.
by the way my dealer told me that my head bearings (original ones) still look great and don't need a replacement.

and the bike feels much better now with the rigid fork when riding it
