Bike looks good! 29 years is a long time, bike years can be longer than dog years. My bike has been indoors or garaged since new and some metal parts look beat due to the ocean air where I live. Yours looks pretty clean to me. A bit dusty, but, aren't we all?
I see you have a chromed primary cover with the hole style adjuster. Mine was upgraded to chrome after a crash, but it was the '94 style cover with the larger derby cover and 4 screws. I think the newer style allows cable and throwout bearing changes without removing the whole cover.

Curiously on the 2008 here the solenoid didn't engage to make contact but made a loud click when the start button was released.
On taking the cover off and pushing on the plunger I couldn't work out why it wouldn't move properly. I got a repair kit anyway as the plunger and contacts had some pitting. Easy job on the bench to test.

Well, all I can claim is ignorance!!
the one black wire goes to the positive side of the battery and the other black wire goes to the negative side. In my mind black is always ground . But when I double checked the wiring schematic it showed both blacks going to the battery. Learn something new everyday . The motor turns over perfect now but Ive got the tank off so I didnt try to start it.
thanks for all the help.
