    Hey all,

    Just stowed black betty for the winter (sigh, the beginning of november is damn wet and cold here!). Looks like this guy has a pretty rare seca, parts bin special for sure! another 750 in a nine-hundy's clothing?

    xj750

    His previous ad said it wouldn't start due to some small issue and is trying to cut his losses. Wish I had the shed to put this in, would be fun to try and see what the issue might be...

    Payce,

    Marcel

    Yea I thought the round head light was weird, I've. got a spare headlight here in NZ and there's a 31A fairing on eBay at the moment. Go for it!

    Yep looks like a 29R to me. Frame & engine numbers will confirm. The front end us wrong though with round light no fairing & no anti-dive on the forks. And it'd be an '83 not 84 if it is... It does have the original shocks by the look of it though

    If the frame number starts 29R00 & engine number is simply 29R then you need to buy it quick! :D
