As far as I know only the paint scheme. Hopefully others will chime in here.

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Yes Dave, that is also my understanding. The only change I've been informed by Randy was that about 1/2 way through the production run of the '85's they changed from the flat bottom carb slides over to the curved bottom slides and the shrouded emulsion tubes (aka needle jets)
