thats very good to know because i have a complete 85 rear end to go ont he 86 frame now all i have to do is find some 86 forks and tripples to go on the 86 frame and a an unblown shock....

can some one tell me the other differences between them also other then the 6 speed bottom end vs the 5 speed in 85 and also the out side mounted over flow bottle that the 86 got and the larger diameter forks the 86 got and also the 23 inch tire the 86 got... other then that were there any other differences?

Nothing major.. You named most of it, except the rear rims are 9 inch and are reversable, smaller stock tires, a little more ground clearance, more travel,.. just real settle changes besides what you mentioned.
