I recently purchased two Aspencades, first is an 85.

Second one is a 86 model

Probably going to sell one of them this spring but I don't know which one I want to part with.

Both look very good and would be hard choice. I like the 86 better but maybe just have to keep both.

... Howdy ... Hard To Tell But Looks Like The 86 Has Some Xtra Chrome Stuff ... Happy Trails ...

Yes the 86 has more chrome and lights than does the 85, so much so that I can't get it on the center stand but I can the 85. Both have features that I like but neither has all the features and I'm not enough of a mechanic/electrician to do the changes.

if the air in suspension or tires is low it will make it harder to get a wing on the centerstand. two beautys though

I check both and they are both within standards per the manual. I'm probably just getting weaker with the aging process. Thanks for the thought though.

Congrats on your new Wings from Pennsylvania. Tough decision. No way you can keep both?? Good luck.

Yes, I can keep both but how do I ride them both while straddling the trees that might jump in front of me while riding them? Yua`za that could hurt sumting.:eek:
