    Seca.JPG I bought this bike in 2010 with just over 6,000 miles. I did all the needed maintenance: rear brake pad, valve adjust, new hydraulic lines. I also modified with Eurobend bars and Napoleon mirrors as per Big Fitz, and Avon tires. Len was awesome in helping me fit the shorter braided front brake hose. RickCoMatic overhauled my carbs. When I bought it, the Kerker 4:1 was already on it. I sold it in 2013 to a friend who "had" to have it. I regretted it very much. Last year he contacted me and offered to sell it back, with just over 8,000 miles on it....and of course I snapped it right back up. This time I'm not selling it again.

    Damn dude, every time I see a 550 Seca I fall in love with them just a little more. Especially when they are in great shape like that one. Glad you got it back, enjoy it as much as possible.

    I wish mine were that nice, but then again I would have a harder time doing the mods I want to do to it.
