I never get tire of 1st Gen styling thats why I bought one and its more fun then my bigger bikes, always a grin on my face when done riding it. How many bike you can redline at every gear and give the big bike their run for their money.
Regarding exhaust, I got a Area P for the 88-07 model and it fits the 86-87 and its being drafted on my bike while I'm going through second phase of my restoration on my 87. Headers will all fit between the 86 & 88+ models, its the exhaust hanger (footpeg) location that are different. The Yoshi & Muzzy systems for the 88+ has a fix tab thats welded to the exhaust canister but if you replace it with a canister that has the clamp on bracket then it will work.
