    It's really cool that you're using a 650 Seca just for me; I already have my paint scheme planned out.

    I'm going to use the Canadian stripe kit (like in the original photo) but on a much darker, deeper, metallic-pearl red. I plan to black out the wheels (sorry but I just don't like "swirly" wheels) plus the shocks, rear brake, forks, instrument cans, handlebar and head pipes; plus fit fork boots and the modern style Yamaha-pattern signals like I have on my black bike.

    Front discs will be drilled.

    Headlight rim to be re-plated in black nickel.

    The rims will get a thin red stripe; seat will be reupholstered in black with a dark grey welt, and the strap eliminated of course.

    Wanna photoshop that up for me, since you're doing 650 Secas?

    cant really tell if you're being facetious or not lol but if someone will find me a hi-res studio shot of a 750 seca i'd be happy to change... otherwise the 650 is gonna have to do.

    I'M NOT being facetious, not at all. You've been getting "flamed" for using a 650 Seca; I understand why you've been using it, and furthermore it's fine BY ME because I have a 650 Seca, not a 750.

    It's been offering me the opportunity to see all of these different combos on my bike, and it seems to be working for you.

    So I figured since you're about it, you could do one up in my planned scheme...

    Meanwhile, I'll see if I can find you a 750 Seca pic, because the two are really quite different.

    Here's one I did a few years back, I liked the colour at the time.
