    Looks like it to me.

    I have a friend in Japan who can get me JDM xj400D/E performance parts and alot of NOS stuff. I'm just curious if they will work on my Seca 550.

    Here are some of the cool things available.

    I can get these cheaper in Japan that here in the US. :(

    I need this. It cost about what I paid for the bike. :lol:

    If they will fit, I'm going to go dual disk.

    Adapters to run brembo calipers.

    Must be nice to live in Japan. They also have several pipes for the xj400. I like the Yosh in the xj400 pic.

    Tell me this stuff will work on my 550.

    ^^ If it does I'm interested too! I'd love to upgrade my 550 a bit and performance parts over here are scarce and expensive

    I can probably get the hookup on seats and body kits, too! :lol:

    That is just plain wacked! WHY ever would someone intentionally build a fairing that obscures one's view of the road???

    If I didn't already have seat modifications planned I'd be all over one of those seats. Those are crazy!

    Looks like there is a rod holding up the fairing, just like holding up the hood of your car. Even in the down position - FUGLY!

    Ugh... I'm sorry but.... WHY?

    Performance upgrades I can understand but.... the fairing and seat... That's just.... torturing your 550....

    I guess the fairing is set that high because the rider leans all the way
    forward while STANDING UP!

    Would these carbs work on a 550? They are 26 CRs.

    Anyone need an NOS tank? :wink:

    Two, seven, nine, fourteen, carry the one.
    12-hundred, 19-hundred, 23-hundred seventy five ...

    Plus a kidney ...

    Yeah, yeah, necroposting. I missed this one the first time around.

    Bosuzoku.

    Reminded me of the whacked-out cars/trucks/vans they have, but the Wikipedia article linked above has an example of a modified bike that looks kinda similar.
