    I'm unsure of what you have.
    Is it correct that you have a fairing for an XJ750 Maxim, and want to put it on an XJ750 Seca?

    No major changes were made to the 750 Seca until '84. The fairing will fit on your bike (unless there are some mounting boss changes that I'm not aware of).
    Buy that friend of yours a good bottle of scotch.

    Do you have the frame mounted fairing, or the sport fairing?

    Then you have the fairing from the touring package. Yamaha sold that with a steering damper. I suggest that you plan on fitting one just in case.

    Some came with the steering damper, others came without.

    The mounting points on both frames are the same, so you can swap it over, regardless. I even have a pic of a 750 Seca with an x1 fairing on it......
