Sunday spin

Really looking forward to taking my `82 Seca 750 out for a spin in the morning down to my local hangout which is busy 12 months a year with Sunday being the obvious big day. Our winters here are mild in Ireland, well by US standards anyways, though we can have cold ``snaps`` with black ice and heavy frost. The hill tops currently have some snow on them buts its nothing like the cold that I experienced in my 18 years living in Boston. Hell, I even have some flowers in my garden at present !! Here is a pic of my bike which I fully restored over the past year and its back now to almost perfect original shape, though I did upgrade the brake lines and fork springs. This is my fourth Seca 750 going all the way back to 1982 and I just love these bikes to death !! LOL

 

That is a fantastic looking bike! Well done. Have a great ride...

 

Gorgeous.

Can you tell me if you have any problem with the wiring harness covers rubbing through where they pass over the oil cooler. I have a cooler installed, but lowered it about 2 cm out of concern that the wires would be pinched, or rubbed on. I'd like to move it back up to the stock position so that I can instal the factory steering damper without having to make a new bracket.

 

THAT is BEAUTIFUL. I have 4 750 secas.....one is going to redone like new, others will be sold. I have a fairing, trunk and bags that will be going on, too. I do have to find fairing lowers yet......

 

Yes indeed, Its a tight fit espc with those two clumps of wires within the plastic sheaths. But although snug, I have had no problem with chafing so far. The look at the front with all those wires is untidy but I arranged them as best I could so as to not look too messy. I wish Yamaha could have designed a custom cover to hide them away.

 

Thanks for the compliment. You currently have 4 Secas ?? That's got to be a record. Mind you I did have 3 FJ1200`s at one time when I lived in Boston. LOL Any pics of your bikes ????

 

Thanks for the comment. I did indeed have a lovely ride under bright sun and somewhat cool 41-43f temps. My local hangout, though only 30 mins from my house in Dublin, a major city, is set in a stunning valley in a National Park surrounded by the most beautiful country roads and legendary Irish countryside.

 

No, that's not a record. Two years ago there were 7 or 8 1983 900rk's here for a carb clinic ----- that might be a record

 

That's impressive, but I meant personally owning 4 Secas at the same time !!! Not just having them around to service them for customers or just to sell on. But still, that's an impressive collection of 900`s to be together under one roof. Would love to see a pic of that.
