750 SECA project

Dropped off the map for a while to get married (I know I know) In the time after that I got the bike up and ready for inspection. I decided against side covers, and ran a tin for my batt and electrical. Ditched the original mirrors for a bar end (bicycle mirror, waiting on e-bay shipment).


I went back to the Harley headlight hood and it really brought the front end in tight. The old gooseneck I fabbed for it wobbled all over. All the lights work now and are bright as hell at night! I do need to add a spacer to the rear bolts on the front fender to bring it back level.


I'm really happy with the bike as it sits, so it'll stay this way until the winter, then who knows. It rides great. I've put over 700 miles on it in the last three weeks and haven't run into any major hiccups. Thanks to all you guys on the site, I've had to search for info here more times than I can count.

Truly a beautiful job! Gotta keep that ignition idea in mind...

 

GOOD LOOKING RIDE!! That is where im goin with my bike.
any info on the acewell gauge would be helpful, as is im looking at dumping mt huge square one. Also what front tire is that looks great. keep it comin

 

looks awesome.
looking at buying that gauge also for a 81 seca 750. how hard to change the wireing form the big giant box?
love your bike looks realy agressive.

 

Cool. Looks a lot like mine. I like your tach/speedo setup way better though. My tach is getting old anyways, I think Ill go look up that acewell.

 

What pick-up did you use on the speedo? What kind of riser did you use for the drag bars?

 

bwa hahah awesome with the motorcycle in the livingroom
also - your seat - its almost exactly what i want for mine. i shaved mine down, but now realize i was probably very conservative about it (i even cut most of the last half off).
(im on an xs400)
it even looks to go far back enough to cover where the fuse would be on my bike.
you think i can snag a couple pics of the seat area??
good lookin mods so far

 

How comfortable is that seat? I want to lower mine quite a bit but the only way to do it us to get rid of all the cushion

 

$5 says you never checked the valve clearances; or properly set up the carbs. Spray paint is no substitute for truly tuning the motor.

Seven hundred miles, huh? Get back to us after 7000.

 

And how difficult are those mirrors to see out of?

 

:lol:

 

I'm going to suggest that you put a lanyard on your key ring that can attach to the bike. Reason being, when the ignition switches get worn, the key can come out while riding down the road. This has happened to a member before.
I also have my key switch on the side, but my switch is angled up to keep the key in.
Is the front rim smaller than the rear rim?

 

Why are ya'll commenting in a thread that hasn't had a post by the OP in five years?

 

So you're saying that, if the OP replaced his brake lines when this thread started, he would need new ones by now?

 

I knew that it was an old thread, but wanted to warn those new posters about the key switch on the side of the bike mod that they commented on.

 

dude... I even cut my gas tank... I made it a little bit shorter and slimmer.... it looks badass!!!
