    Hi

    I have purchased a rather sad 1992 Seca with unknown history. My plan* it to pull the bike apart and do the following;

    - Powercoat Frame
    - Paint Tank
    - Converted to "Naked"
    - Replace all bearing
    - Replace brake lines
    - Do a "major service"
    - Work out a cheap plan for a muffler
    - Work out what to do with a badly oxidized motor

    What are the key things I should do and are there any simple upgrades that I should do as I go along, eg progressive shocks.

    The aim is to keep this cheap and cheerful.

    With you saying "major service" you are meaning:adjust/check valves, clean/rebuild carbs, rebuild brakes including the MC, Calipers and new shoes/pads just to name a few but I assure you others will chime in on what else needs to be done.

    Also, don't forget to check your tires.
