So far we've removed the air box, factory turn signals, wiring harness, carbs, center stand, rear end and the chain.

Picked up an old CM400 tank on ebay for under $40 bucks. Should be here by next week.

Where did you get those 10" shocks? I'm working on a '79 CM400 project, and the shortest shocks I can find is 11.4".
