That bike is a winged unicorn! Unless someone removed it, it has the counter balancer and it is silky smooth! It should also have the "real" lighting coil that will run ~125W instead of the silly small 35w on most other GGs. It has the Messico pipe that is excellent and I would personally get it fixed instead of replacing it with a fmf. It also has the steel subframe which is a little heavier but it is stronger than the aluminum one and is not likely to crack. Les at LTR told me that those forks are very simplistic inside and work fine for trail riding but are not well suited for track use or serious enduro riding. We have a pair of them on one of our 1998 EC250s and after a oil and seal change they work fine for the purpose.
Congrats on the purchase! Let me know if you ever want to sell the bike!
