From the perspective of period correctness there's nothing wrong with aero levers on a vintage bike, especially an 86. My 82 Dura Ace equipped road bike had Shimano BL-7300 aero levers. I've had the same ones on my 83 custom road bike for the last 26 years and just replaced them with R600 aero levers.

I still like the look of the Dura Ace levers but (a) it's impossible to get new hoods for them and I've been running them with BL-6403 hoods for the last fifteen years (which ironically are the hoods that come with the R600 levers) and (b) I've just switched to double pivot brakes (I needed something that could stop me on downhill runs, what can I say) and you need to match these with SLR levers that have the return spring.
