I forgot to reply to your email...  :-[

Someone else can probably confirm, but I'm pretty sure the front caliper is the same until 1993, at least.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Whitey 43 recently purchased a couple of 88 or 89 models and might be able to help.  Send him a PM as he is a very helpful guy.

Go to my messages, send a message (all above ^^^^^) and type in whitey 43.  His user name should come up and you can send a message.

Yep. The mounting points on the RWU Honda disc fronts was the same from 83-89 (and maybe for the later XRs?).
They changed to the mounting points with the bolts much closer together for the first USDs in 89. Don't know how long that kept going for.

89-91 is the same carrier (Bracket) I think they changed after that...
