I sent the e-bay link to RobbieTunes and he thought mine was an 86 also. I don't have the s/n as of yet because I won't get the bike until Wednesday. I guess the s/n data can be a bit vague on the Centurions.
I understand about white bar tape, mine will soon be some other color thats not such a PITA to keep looking nice, lol.
Cheers,
