    Really. You mean the bitty little gold trimmed bike didn't come with those gigantic chrome floorboards?! They look like wings on it!

    It looks absurd with those huge floorboards. Poor thing.

    You just weren't looking. Bought my 550 Seca a couple weeks ago in Bellville, OH.

    I like the color... black isn't all that common for a Seca. Would the pods be a "cosmetic issue"?

    There's a bunch of black ones around here. 2 posted recently ($300 and $400); not running mind you. I'm kind of curious how this one runs and considering checking it out just to see how it is in comparison - how well they tuned it with the pods.

    nice looking missing side cover and what is that toggle switch for on the ignition cover . 1800 CND? if he has papers to support rebuilt top to bottom may well be a good price. depends on what rebuilt top to bottom means

    That is an xj900rk tank, and it's pretty beat.

    That is the 750 Seca 'sport fairing'. It's smaller and lighter in weight than the full touring fairing. Take a look in my gallery and you can see one on Steve R's bike......the silver 750r.
