i also suggest if you are going to change them over, you put tapered bearings in them.....they are worth their cost 10 times over. huge difference in handling and also they won't dent like standard cheapo bearings. oh ya, and they are cheaper. a set of tapered bearings is like 30-40$ depending the bike, and the stock ones (at least for a 929) are 65$ for the set.

That's kinda odd too because the 94 still has a speedo on the wheel, so the left fork has to be different, it has to have the notch for the speedo.

and ya, i forgot. the forks were replaced on my f2 cause i was going to say mine aren't fully adjustable and it's a 94.....but i think they have older model forks on them.

theyre not "fully" adjustable, theres no rebound settings like newer ones.
only spring preload and compression settings. the f3 setup is much better if you dont care about the speedo

then where is the rebound adj? i havent seen one on my bike or in my manual and i have a 94 with original forks. id be interested in makin some adjustments to mine
