    I thread jacked someones topic in the Buy/Sell area - sorry!
    Here is the other thread:
    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/103


    I took some pictures of what I beleive to be of a SECA right hand control - the brake assembly.

    I own a maxim 650H and switched to a flat bar from what I think was a seca 750. I still haven't found the email to confirm that.

    When you switch to the lower bars of the seca, the maxim controls tilt the mirrors inwards making the mirrors all but useless. Snosherrif commented on having the same problem.

    The Seca controls have the mirror mounts flat - where as on the maxim they are tilted in. I hope you can see the flatness in these pictures. Later I'll try to add pictures of the maxim's tip mounts.

    So - here are pictures of what I beleive are seca 750 right hand controls.

    The pictures aren't the best as my camera doesn't do well indoors... definately time to buy a new one!

    The Seca 750 does NOT have the master cylinder mounted on the handlebar. That's likely a Seca 650 control or possibly a Seca 550 control in your pictures.

    The Seca 750 had the funky covers over the handlebars, so they couldn't use the bar mounted master cylinder. Instead, the front brake lever operates a short cable which runs to a master cylinder situated next to the right fork leg behind the headlight. Kind of a pain in the ass to get to, but it works fine.

    Thank you for the clarification... it must have been the 650 then.
