I've got the ADB with the '89 article in it, but IIRC I cut chunks out of it many years ago... :(
They were polite about the forks.

The bikes were very much as they appeared: XR lights, longer muffler, lighting coil on the 250s, and not a lot else. There was an optional bashplate for the 250, but not the 125.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Hey Sean,
Mines an '87 and has convential cartridge forks. I am watching a couple of complete headlights on US ebay at the moment......but they want big bucks, ones at near $200  :o I will let you know how I get on. Do you have any other XR/XL junk you want rid of?
