    Hey guys whats up? I just got my 95 Seca 2 about a week ago as replacement to my totaled 05 500r. I just dropped the bike off at the shop to get the valves adjusted and new spark plugs put in to resolve an issue that hopefully won't include redoing the carbs.

    Overall Im pretty happy with not having a bike payment anymore, and it runs well enough as it is. The previous owner left some damage to the fairings, and I intend to replace them as soon as I can find them.

    List of plans as follows...
    R6 undertail mod (as soon as I figure out how to do it)
    Possibly integrating the blinkers
    New mirrors
    Replacing the fairings (Here's the trick...the lower front fairing is made by targa, at least given the targa stickers on it I assume they are; but I can't find it on the targa website...Any info on where to find it?)
    Koso RX1n digital speedo/tach

    I plan to keep the transformers decals, since 1-I'm a fan, 2- I like how the look, and 3-the bike is rather popular with them

    Welcome! You're lucky it came with that lower fairing. Even though it's not OEM, people still do unspeakable things to get them. You might be better off patching it up and painting it if it's cracked.

    Here's the Targa website, although I don't think they make parts for the XJ600 anymore. http://www.targa-acc.com/

    There are other sites that have aftermarket lower fairings, but it will require your firstborn to get one. For instance, TCP Aerodynamics has a lower fairing, that costs as much as my whole bike did.

    Pretty cool looking bike there Chris. I wish you luck resolving your issues. I don't get to Tacoma much, but I have been known to show up at Backfire Moto, maybe we'll bump into each other there someday. Well at least that is what I told militant Bhuddist and I havent met him yet either.:) We gotta do another meetup someday.
