You bastard! Whenever I do that I end up with a POS with a seized engine

What is that, around a 1980? Looks like almost everything except the engine and drivetrain would interchange with one of my CX500s.

A tip: Harley Sportster OEM shocks. They're cheap as hell on ebay because all the RUBEs replace them with Progressives, they're available in a variety of lengths, and I bet they'll swap right on. Just have to swap the bushings from your old shocks.

Also, if you can pick up a Trailtech Vapor (or hell, even a bicycle speedo) you'll lose about 50 pounds off the top of the bike by ditching the gauge cluster.
