I would say that 95% of the parts are interchangable. I would have said 99%, but earlier today I found out that 87 cables are different than your 85. If you are considering putting 87 parts on your 85 I would start with the kickstart coversion, followed but the 87 side panels, headset with handlebars, front binkers with glovebox, and of course that pretty taillight/rear rack combo. Keep us updated!

the big difference between the two is the electrical harness. any panels off any of the years will interchange. the 87 did have the different dash and handle bars along with the different tail light. the 84-85 has the 2 wire hook up for the fuel sensor, and the bystarter. also the pick up coil on the engine has its own ground. the 86-87 has the 3 wire hook up for the fuel sensor, and a single clip for the bystarter. the pick up coil is only 1 wire. u can still make everything work if u have a lot of time cutting and splicing. hope this helps.

Also, the fuel petcock's thread diameters are different between 84-85 and 86/87. Can't recall which series featured the wider diameter, but if memory serves it was the later vintage.chevyguyjay wrote:the big difference between the two is the electrical harness.
