Having been down the USD path...without a doubt I would go with 89+ forks, new bushings, RPM valves, springs and new Yamaha seals.  Add blue or gold dots and maybe an 87/88 FZR 17x3.0 rim.  I think with the new RPM inertial style valves, no need to go USD.  Hell, I wasn't planning to do USD forks when I did, just at the time they were a lot less expensive than the YZF600. Conversion I planned to do.  Now, I'd just do the RPM valves and springs.
