    Thought this turned out good so I thought I'd share it. That's all.

    Lol, nice polock.

    Biggs, I want that exhaust! Mines stock and looks ridiculous.

    Umm; Rudy--- that is the stock exhaust on a 650 Seca; the main difference between the 650 Seca mufflers and the 550 Seca mufflers is on the 650 the "kink" is "soft" in that there's no seam there. Plus the 650 Seca's have a tad more "upsweep."

    You sure yours are stock, Rudy?

    By the way, nice photo, Biggs. I call those kind of days "Great Lakes Days" the clouds, the wind high in the trees but not so much at ground level, clear not hazy air--- and the open road. The kind of days you see here in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Southern Ontario; anywhere in close proximity to the Great Lakes.

    Not at all, just kind of assumed.

    They're rusted, bent, and gawdy.

    No, if those ARE the stock mufflers (and I can't see enough in the pics) they've had the rear ends of them cut off.

    THESE are stock 550 Seca mufflers:

    No apologies necessary Fitz. I love your 550's. Way back a buddy of mine had a 550 and it was fun! If I ever see one locally for sale I will have to think hard about it. I have another friend who has a 750 Seca he bought new back when I bought my 650 and his just sits in his garage. Needs some work (like the valves) and I have offered repeatedly to help him with it but I don't think he has interest. Shame.

    That wasn't really a hijacking. I complimented the exhaust (even though its stock, lol) and bitched about how ugly mine are.

    Great pic!
    One of those all to few moments in my hectic life. The only thing lacking would be some nice sweeping curves to futher enjoy the bike. Is it safe to assume that you already enjoyed those?

    @ bigfitz. Thanks for setting the bar so high. A perfect example of what a bike can be. I can only hope that mine will come out half as nice. Gonna print that pic and put it up in the shed to give me motivation while I work on mine. Thanx.
