    I just brought home another XJ for the herd. I just picked up an 83 XJ750 Midnight Maxim. It runs, but does need a battery, and a fair bit of cosmetic reworking. A previous owner decided to make it a Midnight Blackout, I guess, and treated the bike with a liberal dose of spraycan flatblack. So, now it's time to start cleaning off the goldtone appointments and see what kind of magic I can work on this one. I'll put a pic in my gallery in the next day or so.

    How many parts did it come with? There are a lot of parts unique to the Turbo Seca...

    Does this mean that you now own every single seca model out there?

    What other year/model XJ do you not have in your collection?

    MAS* has nothing to do with your kharma; it's simply a disease. The symptoms can be controlled by a small garage. Dave has multiple barns. His case is terminal.
