Vote your favorite color scheme of 650 seca

Silver:


Non factory Red


Red


"Dragon warrior"

 

For some reason the "Dragon Warrior" is not on the poll, maybe one of the sheriffs can edit it because I can't. If your vote for the Dragon Warrior just post a reply on this thread and that will do.

 

where is the Black model Big Fitz has?
cause that bike is pretty!

 

or is that a 550 only Seca, which if that is the case..
that is just sad

 

Fitz's seca sure is a pretty one, his is a 550 and I am looking at paint schemes on the 1982 xj650 seca

 

The black Seca is the 1983 550R

1982 Seca 550 is red
1981 Seca 550 is white (Fitz's other one)

1982 USA Seca 650 is silver
1982 Canada Seca 650 is red

1980-84 UK 650 (our Seca) came in black, red, blue, and silver.

My vote is for the factory blue UK 650

 

I actually like the black with blue decals

 

I do like all of them (my least favorite is the factory red). I do like the black with blue decals; perfect Carolina Panthers scheme!

 

The factory red scheme would look a lot better if they had used a more vibrant red.

 

Wow, is Dragon Warrior real? That tan leather seat is awesome!
(Guess which one I'd vote for. )

 

Dragon warrior for sure...

 

Thank you for all of you who voted on this poll. When I started my restoration project I really liked the "Dragon Warrior" and the more I learn about this bike the more I appreciate the "stock" parts and schemes on it.

Non the less I want to put my personal touches to it so I am almost set on this scheme for my bike:

 

I'd love to have one of those luggage racks on my 650R

 

Where would you find something like that? There's another string asking how to get a luggage rack/sissy bar for a 650.

 

For the 650 Seca? Patience, lots and lots of patience. They're harder to find than a decent headlight.

That thread is for one for the 650 Maxim, those are much easier to come by.

 

The bike in the pic the Dragon Warrior posted is not only a Euro-spec bike, but that appears to be a Euro/World market FACTORY hard luggage/rack setup. It's like the rear chrome-loop grab rail on the Euro 550s, never even came here.

The other challenge will be locating the Euro-spec graphics; although the USA (silver scheme) decals might look good on black too, and they're available.

 

Dragon Warrior, first choice.
Non-Factory Red, second choice.

 

Fitz,

I finally found the euro decals and they are on the way, once I get the first set I amy be able to take it to a local shop and make a few sets, I may do that as backup just in case I need another one I don't have to order them from Germany
