85/86 model bike? What's your plans? Looks like a good bike to start a full restore on.

86.I'm gonna rebuild the lump for top end, full bottom end refresh with blueprinted bottom end, polish cases, fully weld all the joints in the frame, make tubular case guards a la jeff wards bike, then paint frame kwak purple with a seat cover to match, gold hubs, rims and spokes, clean up the plastics and keep the stickers subtle. Pro circuit platinum pipe, and then thrash it within an inch of its life....... :-D
