Man, I just did a whole post on this stuff and someone who runs this board mistakenly deleted a few days of posts including that. It's too long to repeat, but... The 87 had far superior rear brake sealing and axle hub sealing - the 85 had problems there. The carb is better and some other small stuff but not too much in the motor or suspension dept. The whole swingarm with the blue shock blots right on an 85. Ask a specific question and I'll try to help.
