Halfway down...early 80s Modelo 2000.

A member here has a early 80s Model0 5000 with the noted forks. They've provided a link to their picture in the past and have done the same at bikeforums.net...

Be sure to search the archives for the notes of caution regarding Mexican made early to mid-80s Modelo 850s through Modelo 3000's.

Good luck...
