    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.

    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.

      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

    I love that fairing, mine has one too! Does your headlight point at the sky when the fairing is mounted flush with the brackets? I have to keep mine jacked up about an inch in the back.

      Yes it did, I trimmed the front plastic trim to be able to adjust the light to angle down.

    Thanks. Can you send me the model # of the K&N pods. I may order a set.

      K&N RC-1824 Air Filters - K&N RC-1820DK Air Filter Wrap and for the jets - Dynojet kit - 750 cc Yamaha 81-82 XJ750 ALL MODELS Stage 1 & 3 - 4102. The K&N filters are pricy but keep them clean they should last for a very long time. I also put the wraps on them to help with dirt and rain.
