Hey all. Can't seem to find replacement fork guards for my 90 KX500. What are my options?

I believe that Kawasaki part numbers are the same from 90-93 KX125, kx250, kx500..
This seller is offering a set of new UFO guards for 91-93..
But if Kawasaki part numbers are correct then these should fit..

They certainly look like the right ones. I had emailed UFO yesterday asking about guards for the 1990 and if a later year would fit. Their response was "UFO just started with the 1991 fork guards for the KX500". No mention if later years would fit. I guess what confuses me is I've checked ebay for this item and when using the fitment guide, they say it's not compatible with the 1990. But, I am kind of desperate to find fork guards, so maybe I'll take a chance and order them. Thanks!
