    Nope. I have the same problem with my '83 Seca 550. I'd love to repaint it but nobody makes a graphics package (yet.) For your bike I checked Yamaha themselves (yeah right) plus all my NOS sources as well as the three or four different "reprographics" sources I am aware of, plus Google. The ONLY Seca 750 package I found is for a Euro-release '81 ('82?) that was white with red stripes similar to the '81 Seca 550. Check with Chacal, but I think you're SOL. What I'm doing is touch up/preservation until I can lay my hands on the graphics. What REALLY crumbles my cookies is that there ARE kits available for the '81 and '82 550's not the '83. Not much AT ALL for the Seca 750, but then it only had stripes for one year I believe. Good luck.

    Yes sir, the only one I found was from them. There's those guys, AFE in Canada (mostly RD and RZ stuff) and Speed-n-Sport/Reproduction Graphics that I'm aware of as far as OE graphics for Yamaha street bikes. A lot of graphics houses simply won't DO OE because of licensing issues. I've been looking for a while, if anyone knows anywhere else?

    '83 Seca 550 is very similar, black with the scarlet and maroon flashes. I think it's by far the coolest of the three model years, but the ONLY one I can't find stripes for. If your graphics are still decent possibly you could mask them off and redo the tank around them?

    i could but they are faded and have little chips around the edges would ruin the look of a brand new paint job
