Thanks
I have an 86 EX250 which has 35mm forks, and I swapped some 36mm forks onto it to fit a 17" front wheel. Being 1mm difference, which is only .020" radius, i found that the 86 handlebars were a tight fit, but with a small amount of sanding the paint off the inside of the handlebars at the fork caps, they both fit. You may want to get a set and try them, not sure if they bolt up the same, but the 86-87's were the same, or close enough to fit the 88-07 fork upper triple tree with a little sanding of the paint inside where the tube fits.
