    My '81 Seca has a drum rear brake, 18" wheel. Any Seca's out there use the same wheel size/type with a disc brake I could convert to? Thanks.

    Forget it. The drum brake is just as good and a lot easier to maintain.

    I agree with Steve, that drum brake costs a lot less to keep up

    550 is the only chain drive (original) Seca there was. You might get by with a rear wheel from an FJ600 or Seca II though. There's always the other big four bikes to choose from as well.
