    Yep.... pretty nice one! Hard to tell from the pic which year... The easiest to see is the clutch pull, crank case hose and the automatic cam chain tensioners are different between the 85-86.

    My crate motor turned out to be a 85 motor.... never would have thought it would be! Looks like that one was taken out carefully from the frame... or maybe it wasn't even assembled in the first place. Most of them have the stator wires cut... like mine. Some even have the header pipes sawz-all'd off.

    PS - He also has a NOS carb.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-C...QQcmdZViewItem I know some members here don't know what one looks like.

    Yeah that's a nice looking carb....looks to be an '86 because of the pilot screw style.
