What year inverted forks do I have?

(1/3) > >>

Goat:
I got some random parts from a guy last week. Some are for a 87 KX500(swingarm, plastics, and tank) and the rest is off a 87 KX250 (frame, shock, seat, and rear fenders) Unknown year KYB (gold color upper tubes) inverted forks. My question is how do I tell what year the forks are from. I want to put them on my 87 250 but need to get the brake caliper, wheel, and axle. I looked under the tripple clamps for numbers and it says kx250 in one spot, 9NG in another, 04C in another, and 1-7 in another. Not sure if any of these would tell me anything. Any info would help.

Goat,
I can't tell by those #s but if you measure the chrome sliders (43mm ?) I can give a range of years they could be.
Hope this will help

Goat:
Measurement I came up with is 45.86mm. I'm guessing they round up to the nearest number? Thanks for your help.

Goat:
Did some measuring and some googleing and believe I found the answer I'm looking for but would like confirmation. They are from a 97-03 KX250 according to my calculations.
