    Hi guys and gals, haven't been about much as my daughter was born the Sunday just before Xmas so it's been all hands on deck but here is a status update on the 550 seca, I brought a 700 maxim tank, no surprise it doesn't fit so a spot of welding is in order soon, have also fitted some new drag bars and when it stops raining will be fitting new air filter pods, will keep you updated on that ever so controversial mod!!!! Also it's been brought to my attention that my right hand side panel and fuel tank are actually worth some money!!! Where would be the best place on site to sell them? Cheers folks and happy new year!!!

    MrPain as most users on this site reside in USA or Canada you may find eBay the best place to advertise parts.

    Or you can use the parts for sale section in the forum.

    It won't be any problem selling a RH side cover for a 550 Seca, trust me.

    Is it just the right hand side people seem to be screaming out for? Why is this?

    its the battery side. over the years of people pulling/replacing batteries in garages and barns hoping that the bike may suddenly come back to life and then the covers getting lost in the shuffle and then bikes sold and covers are ever thought of again and remain behind when the bikes are sold.

    That's what I was wondering.
    Bike tips? Ask Fitz, Rick, etc.
    Baby advice? I have 6 daughters, so here's what you do. When the baby's fussy, hand her to your wife. When she's hungry, hand to your wife. When she needs a diaper change, hand her to you wife and leave the room. Because it's not going to be pretty.

    Hahaha this stream has taken the wrong path!!!! Didn't need tips for the daughter, but cheers for making me laugh, the tip I was after was where best to post my for sale bike bits!!!! Seems there's not too many folks on here who are from outside the US, So I'm probably best just selling on eBay, but seeing as I can't find one on eBay, if anybody could give me a ball park figure for selling my 1984 550 seca tank and right hand side panel it'd be much appreciated
