Rocky Mountain ATV sells their Tusk brand LED for $35 or so. Very bright and looks good.
I like the CRF fenders with the Tusk rear a lot.  The front looks good too on XR/XL stuff.  
Doubtful you'll find a jet "kit" after this many years.  Read up and find out jetting recommendations for the intake/filter/exhaust you'll be using  OR pay a decent wrench for an hours time and get it done right and for good.  
You can use most any XR exhausts with minor modification.  Later year XR stuff looks good IMO.  

Can also use CRF stuff . I"m running a Two Brothers Racing carbon fiber can for a CRF450  on my 85 XR350 and just love it, looks and the sound is amazing.  
Had to cut off an inch or two and reflare it ($10 at muffler shop to do both,  take the head pipe in and they'll mate the connection exactly) Bend works, midpipe mount works, upper is off a couple of Inches.  Spanned now with a short piece of steel stock with nut/bolt at each end. Solid as a rock.   See take off CRF exhausts for $50-75 pretty frequently!  Thats a nice looking exhaust that update the look nicely imo.    I'd look at some other side panels if something can be made to fit.  

thanks for the input! i think ill try xr600r exhaust and just mod it to fit as far as the plastics DC plastics agreed to make me side covers and what ever plastics i want for my 86 xl600r in black so ill prob just get the side covers then order some after market front light and cover kit any ideas?? and i like the crf and xr400 front fenders so ill get what i can in black also as far as the rear fender i like both of what i seen on that other post and i kinda like the crf450x rear with intergrated led taillight and also the other with the tusk light also soi have some thinking to do but so far i have things being powdercoated frame kick start and kick stand both foot pegs and handle bars are going to be black and the triple trees are going to be red along with the motor red but im painting the motor my self with high temp engine paint so whats the best way to prep it and paint it? any info on that and also front light and shroud combos to go with to update the look would be great

wow that looks great what would be a good fender to use that with on my xl600r? and also does it come with the assembly to mount the plate and hardware? looks sharp

Not to diss XR's Only (I've spent a BUNCH there) but the Tusk is way brighter and 1/2 the cost.  I have 2 of each.

Most fenders work with it no problem as long as they dont have an extreme amount of curve to them which most rear fenders dont, the mounting plate and all the hardware for the license is $8
