    Good luck.

    The mufflers will be more difficult than the fairing. The fairing was easy off/easy on "removable" so a lot of people removed it (like me for instance.)

    A company called JAMA makes stainless steel OE replacement exhaust systems that are primarily marketed in the Eurozone. They make a set of "pattern" mufflers for the 550 "Seca" (in quotes because they weren't called Secas in Europe) that are nearly indistiguishable from stock.

    They may not be super-cheap, but at least they're available. Finding stock mufflers for my 550 Secas was the most challenging part of both resurrections.

    Also, that fairing while a (debatable) appearance upgrade, also negatively affects the overall handling of the bike. Without it, the bike is much more "flickable" and responsive to steering input. Personally, I thought it detracted from the clean lines of the original bike. Yamaha did away with it for the '83 model year.
