People, keep it PG. Stop showing your parts

 

Or this--



Research shows they made at least 2...

 

This is not mine but it looks like everything between tires fits the category of this thread:

Id like more info on the show bike kit

 

Dave you are killing me!
What's the story on the saddlebag/ tour pack combo?
Are those JASO MA quarts of oil holding them up?

Seriously, what bikes would those fit?

 

Those are two sets for the xj750 Seca that are going to be going onto a couple bikes when I get the chance.

The oil bottles are empty Yamalube 10w-40....my preferred Dino juice

The show bike kit-you're looking at it. That's about all I can tell you , except for the fact that they made at least two sets is accurate. How can I I be so sure.........take a wild guess------

As I get the chance to go through things, Len and and I are hoping to be able to make copies of the component kits.

 

Something doesn't seem right--

-The color scheme is not the usual black/silver on red as the rest of the USA-delivered bikes
-the rear fender is the longer Eurpoean style fender, not the shorter USA-delivered fenders

Why does he think it's "new (not LIKE new) when:

-There are handle bar bolt covers missing
-there are scrapes all over the front
-the left mirror is wrong
-the right mirror is missing
-the left control is on wrong
-the crash bars are hideous
-there are a number of incorrect windshield bolts and nuts
-other misc bolts and nuts are incorrect
-rash on the muffler
-incorrect fuel cap
-yellow frame reflectors are missing under the air scoops
-Right side air scoop has brake fluid damage on the top, and on the fender
-tank had to be re-sealed
-master cylinder has been replaced
-I wouldn't trust those nasty cracks in those tires
-no idea what those decals on the side covers are supposed to be for---

Otherwise, it's a nice low-mile bike for someone to grab.

If anyone is able to get it, please contact me privately with the serial number, so I can add it to the registry if it turns out to be a USA bike......I tend to think it is not.

Damn you got good eyes Dave! I can't even see the gas cap..........

 

But I doubt you'll find too many 900 shaft drives of that era with that mileage even if you do need to do a bit to it to appease the pedantic purists.

 

My bet is you won't find any-----

 

I have doubts..... that may only be because I know how easy it is to roll back the odometer.

 

I can find you one. What mileage would you like the odometer to show

 

Can you get one by 3 o'clock this afternoon...with nail polish?

 

Does Len have parts for that one too?

 

He doesn't, all the parts for that model are unobtanium.

 

There should be a recall on that bike. It has the wrong fairing on it!!
Looks more like it was based off the 550. Pretty cool though.

That's awesome!

 

Yup, it's a 550 seca
