    I've been helping XJ-Bikes member, Steve R, restore his bike. We just finished adding a complete luggage set. Everything has been cleaned, stripped, smoothed, repainted, and clearcoated. Now presenting---1983 XJ750 Seca, by Steve R! This bike went from "this bike is SOOO FRUSTRATING--I think I might give up on it"....to...." I LOVE my bike, it gets lot of attention, and I can't wait to ride it every chance I get!"

    It all comes down to perseverance-Finish what you started and be proud of what you have done.
    A few more picks of the entire bike would be nice to look at. Yet well done!

    I love that line about Steve R going from "this bike is SOOO FRUSTRATING to I LOVE my bike" That's gotta be a fantastic feeling.Thanks hogfiddles for letting us in on some of the behind the scenes.

    Really sweet... I'm really jealous of the pipes. Where did you get them?

      Funny... my bike is the same... mufflers look fine but the header pipes are pretty rusty.

      Yep, mine were too. The bike spent time on the west coast with salt air. But maybe age has something to do with it.

    Love the front fairing and luggage set. Were did you get the luggage set from I just post some pics of mine completed with a Vetter Quick silver fairing and think the luggage set would compliment it?

      A friend of mine found the parts and pieces on eBay. Took a few months to get all the parts and pieces together. They were gouged and destroyed and were red. Took months to repair them.
