Hi guys, and some before and after pics

Hello fellas, First off, my username is supposed to be hblair, I guess I got into a hurry registering.
I bought my first ever street bike two weeks ago today off of ebay. A 1981 750 Seca with 25,700 miles on it. It's a solid bike mechanically, paint was original and kinda ugly, original exhaust had long since rusted. I actually bought the bike from the second owner and got an owners manual and service manual with it. The bike rides great. I got it home and took it apart and painted it ford code E9 and bought a set of mac 4 into 2 pipes for it. I'm happy with the looks and sound of the pipes. Left fork is leaking, I've got a set of seals here for that.
I had my eyes on an original fairing on ebay but somebody bought it early and it's gone, so I'm looking for a fairing. Thanks for any info.

From the looks of that Rear Tire ... L-T ... you aren't waiting for the warn winds of Spring to dry-out the roads before getting some hours in on the 750!

That's a sweet looking bike!

 

Nice bike altus. I like that color. Hard to decide on a color huh?
