The wiring harness is different than that of 88-04 and is pain in ass to fix, I have one and I cant figure out the damn harness :-/

Thats the biggest bummer.

But the swingarm is longer,you get a pull start-backup with a de-compression lever,and (in my opinion)a simpler electrical system

beware of the carrier. on my friend's 87 and on my old 88 there were 4 separate bolts rather than the 2 larger ones holding the carriers on, it is fairly difficult to get the axle straight and harder to keep it that way. my whole carrier fell off once, threw the chain, and the next thing i knew, my sprocket guard was laying in my nerf bar.

do you have any tips to make sure it is straight
