I looked up a few different part numbers say 1986 and 1999 there are two diff part numbers and the older one is about $50 more! Anyone know if you can bolt a newer stator cover on an 86'?

Ill walk out and see if my 87 will fit my later motor...   

I know the color changed from black to silver... (that would be a part number change)

83-87 are black, 88-04 are gray.
They should all interchange.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Just to confirm they fit. I put a 93 cover on an 87 and it works fine. If I remember correctly there is a bit more clearance using the newer cover because the older flywheels were smaller. Either way it works.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.
