    '86 to '85 frame/ what to expect...

    My '86 R looks to have frame damage, so I picked up a very nice '85 frame for a good price. Didn't even think twice about it, but after reading 1 post on here, I'm a little curious. Am I going to have any problems swapping everything over to the '85 frame?

    when doing my frame up restore i took a my complet 86R and switched it to a bare 85R frame only cuz it had a title thats the only reason i did that. the things that were different were...
    tank mounts
    motor mounts
    1" in the rake
    the rubber staps under the tank
    and the foot pegs how the mount up
    and thats about all i can think of with the frame.

    How much of a problem did you have fitting all the '86 parts over (such as the motor mounts, tank mounts, etc.)?
