A newbie question here... so bear with me. And if its in the tech area somewhere, just say so, but I have not seen it.

Puchasing a slightly-ratty 2000 SH, and it of course needs a few little items. Between here and the e place, parts are pretty easy to come by, BUT... are most things interchangeable, in a general sense? I mean plastic from 98-05 the same, wheels, tanks, seats..? engines? Was wondering about later instruments too, in case I ever decide to change them for some unknown reason (like rolling back the miles... no, kidding)

I have a CX500 too, among other bikes, and that question comes up as we make mods and search used parts, and some of it has been documented to make it easier. So if there is a chart or even rule of thumb, pass it along, oh learned S'Hawk devotees...

Thx!

Jim
