Mystery solved its defintely an 88 montare. That bike looks mostly original it has a bulge stem with rollers those look like rhino bars. Mombat said bulge was on 88. The 85 came with a one piece bullmoose. Below is a link. They were four models with brazing back in 88. This guy whose pic I borrowed says his is an 84 tam but I think it's an 85.
