'89 was the last year for conventional forks if that's what you're asking.

I had the impression that late 90s or 2000 they changed the forks to a more modern inverted fork.I want to find the most modern forks that I can.But I want them to bolt up with just changing triple clamps no custom fabing.

Yes on the 19" paddle. I have a AMS Sand Snake MX 110/90-19 10 cup for mine that I recommend to anyone. Just have to remove the mudflap and I like to run a shock cover so the shock shaft doesnt get sand blasted. As far as forks... I believe the last change was in '97 when they upgraded the inverted forks.
