    Purchased this 1982 XJ750 Seca from original owner who neglected the bike it was a big POS when I got it for $250 with title will upload pictures of fully restored bike. After working on that POS for 3 years (We called him Rusty) here is the results. Mostly every thing came from the bike except - Gas tank, front fender and carbs, mice destroyed the originals. Love this bike.

    Hello, Metricman820. I envy guys like you who take a POS like this bike was and stay with it until it turns out like the bike it is. I would have walked far away from the POS. Wonderful job.

      Hi CatusJack thanks, There were a few times that I almost did walk away but I am glad I didn't and every time I take the bike out I fall in love with it more and more.

      The 750 Seca was/is a highly underrated bike. I Love the 750 Seca. I have a 650 that I've been dealing with off and on. Stories like yours are truly inspiring.

    Nice Job. I think the white is great color for these bikes.

    Any idea how I'd test the lighting relay for a Description 750.

    Very nice. I like how you wrapped the carb bowl tubes up above so that you can always see what your float level is. Brilliant!

    Were can I find the front master cylinder for the brakes every company I called doesn't carry it for the 1981 750. I was told that mine burnt up and to get a new one or a rebuild kit for the old one.

    How do I redo the seat... i have a 81 xj 750r. The seat is shot... also need to derust the exhaust pipes. Any ideas would be awesome cause I'm lost...

      My seat pan and foam were in good shape but I found a replica seat cover on ebay you can also find seats if your pan and foam are no good. For the Exhaust if there not to bad I have used evapo rust on my 650 Maxim and it works pretty good.

      I recently recovered my seat. Got info off you-tube. If the foam is OK, remove leather after removing the seat. Spray foam seat with adhesive, get approx 1 sq yard of stretchable faux leather, warm it in dryer for 5 minutes so its really flexible, use industrial stapler to attached new cover to underside of seat frame. Warm leatherette stretches nicely and spray adhesive helps cloth stick well to the foam. Looks pro and only costs $50 all in. Took me all of an hour. CHECK YOUTUBE
