Russ' Restored and Upgraded Model 85

After briefly owning a wonderful unrestored Model 85, Russ decided that he wanted to ride a Model 85 as much as he could in his small hometown. So Russ went in a different direction, and found a restored Model 85 with numerous upgrades - electric starter, front brake, mikuni carb, rear shock absorber, and redone side fasteners being the main upgrades. There upgrades make the Model 85 mush easier (the electric starter) and safer (the front brake) to use.
