So ... yeah. My seca, which was mid-fighter-build, is now for sale. Not really keen on this, but circumstances dictate getting rid of my bike....
+1 to stevo's comments. On my 81 XJ750, the larger nipple on the petcock is hooked up to the carbs for fuel, and the smaller one connects to...
FWIW I put my 81 seca on the stand without many issues, and i'm 6'2" and under 140 right now. My stand was almost impossible to use until I...
very nice!
.120 is nearly 1/8" thickness, pretty beefy. .065 is under 1/16th by that same token. No idea which people use but the near 1/8" thick seems...
I'd have to go un-hide and un-bundle my resistors, but i seem to remember they were a hair over 1k ohm each, one per side, big ceramic buggers....

I've got a whole front end from my 81 750 if it would fit, wheel, brakes and all
nicely done, looks good!
I do this regularly on mine. Bottoms of both foot pegs are scuffed, let alone something that sticks out that far. More than them hitting and...
Good call robert, I haven't bought any of the stuff in a while or I'd have just checked my can. Thanks for the info. If I hadn't just had my case...
so minor update, top trip is out being machined to make stuff fit. Got a mockup pic though, overall angle is a bit off, as the front end is...
Xulf: thats not a surefire fix as my LED signals didnt pull enough current to even blink a $40 LED-specific flasher. I went with a $4 flasher...
When I seafoam'd the oil in my camaro, you could tell when it was all out. It made the oil a weird color and definitely pulled a TON more gunk out...
including parts from other types of bikes if you're so inclined. See my thread about front-end swap, 93 katana front end going onto my 81 seca. =)
I've been debating doing this, if you decide to go ahead with it, let us know how it works out. Fitz, I normally use the same method you...
Assuming your local stealership would even TOUCH your bike (none around me will. Not even to do the tires.) you'd pay a FORTUNE to have them do...
I've thought about this bike a few times recently too and would love to see some updates man!
So small update, I just went out to the shop with the intention of tossing the trips and stem onto the bike, but the top bolt from the stock...
So, here's the new front end: [img] Stock front end: [img] Bike as it sits in my shop right now: [img] Basically, all that has been...
Yeh, this was what I was figuring. Anyone in need of a front end?
If mine can recover from a slightly spun main bearing, thanks to the gas-in-the-oil issue pointed out above, yours can most likely recover from...
really? 68 views and nobody can even tell me what its worth? lol
So, as the topic says. I have a complete front end from my 1981 XJ750RH. Forks, both triple trees, NO STEERING STEM (I needed it for my front end...
I had about that many spiders to ... dispose of... plus a family of mice had made their home in my airbox. Complete with a ladder to get back out...
Man i wish I could ride as cheap as everyone on here seems to. My registration just cost $89 and my insurance is $149/yr with no med.
I'm swapping a 93 katana front end onto my 81 seca 750. All I'm having to do really is swap the stem from my stock triples into the katana's...
I've been curious to the function of this part for a while. Mine has a nasty habit of popping loose of its own accord too, it seems.
Craigshelper.com is pretty cool too. I think it's called searchtempest.com or something now, but the first link works as of right now. Basically...
I've actually got the kat front end in my shop right now, and I'm tearing the front end off of the seca tonight... From the measurements I've...
That sucks. In indiana there are no laws around motorcycle exhausts. Hence all the harley RUBs running around with drag pipes and shaking my...
You could always try to find a complete front end to replace yours with, but finding a good, straight one is sometimes a problem. I'm about to be...
+1 on this, this is why I don't ride with any of the clubs in my area, they all require you to wear your patch, and theres at least a handful of...
If putting it on prime doesnt help, it's probably a problem in the carbs. Although, as was pointed out above, it could be that the petcock screens...
iirc, the 650/750 tanks are the same length from the front mounts to the rear mount, but I honestly have no idea on the 1100s. Hopefully someone...
Schooter, as i said in another thread on here, I didn't intend to target anyone in particular, just in general. I wholeheartedly support the...
Lowlife, I can understand that, it still irks me though. I'd rather see people saying things along the lines of 'go nuts, but be warned X, Y, and...
if you don't end up putting badges on, personally I'd just bondo the sides of the tank up so they're nice and clean, repaint and call it a day =)
These are the kind of things that piss me off. Who are any of us to tell someone else that something "isn't worth it."? It's all subjective. I'm...
Why does everyone always say things like "Your bolts WILL BREAK OFF"? I removed all four of my carb to manifold boots and not a single bolt broke....
pods/exhaust but either of those can run you into some $$$ if you end up having to re-tune (re-jet and sync) your carbs.
Meh. Just tear em off if thats how you decide to go. PB Blaster or some Kroil and you'll be alright. I broke a couple of block bolts over the...
Uh. just as an aside, if you pull that disc out of the petcock diaphragm assembly, won't it always flow fuel, since they don't have an 'off' setting?
So as the thread topic implies, curious as to thoughts. I ride a 1981 Yamaha XJ750 and as a friend is probably parting out his 93 katana 600 I'm...
looks like a potentially cool project, keep the pics coming!
I'm still trying to get my shop organized from moving, but if I can find my old one, you can have it.
yeah i'm always up for free stuff
Having been gone from the forums for a while, I've been in tears catching up on these horrible events... I never knew Bill very well, but he was...
luvmy40, i love that kerker exhaust .... idk what it is about it, those pipes are just sexy.... clean lines .... how does it sound? Is it loud?...
Mine was caused by weak springs, worn plates, and an ever-so-slightly out-of-round clutch basket. Shuffled the plates, swapped around the springs,...
