Differences in 86/87-88/89 frames

[badquad]

I was wondering if all the parts will swap from an 86 frame to an 88/89 frame?

The only thing's that won't that I know of are the swing arm, and pegs. Everything else switches over fine and is the same part # too if im correct. check out this site below to see the differences. Im sure there little dumb things that wont swap over but those are the major (swingarm being the biggest)

a swingarm from a 86/87 to 88/89 frame will, but not the other way around, and you need to cut a spacer to put between the swingarm tubes. pegs won't interchange either, someting else won't either, I cant think of what.

the foot pegs, front engine mounts and grab bar wont change over. the swing arm will swap straight over to a 88-89, even the center rear swinger engine mount. provided you remove the top tabs.

Front engine mounts? That's funny, they all have the same part number now. :huh

Thanks..for the info.. I am looking into buying a nolink 88/89 frame, as was wondering what could swap and what can not.. I can do without the parts that cant swap over..since I will have to buy a new swingarm for it.
