    The 85 had a different clutch cable route than the 86.
    Different wheel styles between the 2 years.
    Different cam chain tensioners between the 2 years.
    Different rear caliper mounts between the 2 years.

    [20:55] <waterpumper> putting a racing pipe on a Foreman is like putting a high dollar bikini on a 400 pound chick...just because it fits doesn't mean it looks cool

    The triple tree on the 86 is black where the 85 is silver and is suposed to have tapered bearings unlike the 85.
