Mike, I would mount one in a heartbeat if I still had my XJ750, but I sold it. It was in the plans for the next step in my list of mods, but I...
I made mine out of aluminum. Actually it was aluminum signs I used (old construction signs) It cut and shapes easily and is very strong and easy...
You can use one from a small engine repair shop (for use on lawn tractors, etc.) I had one in my 740 Seca for years and it worked out very well...
I do that to all my air filters. I've done both my cars, both trucks, both bikes, and the lawn tractor too. I gut the paper out of the old filter...
CDI, TCI, FBI...who cares. You know what I'm referring to. Like it says in the orriginal post, make an offer.
To seal the petcock hole, I used a flat piece of metal (use aluminum or steel) with bolts holes drilled in it and a scrap of inner tube as a...
I'd have to dig thru my masc. oarts box and see if I can find the bolts, or figure out what size the are, so I guess $25 plus shipping sounds...
I was one who just sold my XJ for $1500 and it was worth every penny, (more actually) Of course it wasn't stock or I wouldn't have asked that much...
You want the caliper and the hoses, right? $25 plus you pay shipping. What is you zip code so I can figure out what shipping will be. Thanks! Dave
I run grip heaters on both bikes and really like'm. I use the ones that go under the grips, used for snomobiles. They work awsome and get plenty...
The XJs can be a complicated beast when you first start tearing into it, but with a good shop manual, you soon find out how everything works and...
Update the list since I first posted it.
I sold the 750 Seca/Maxim bobber last week. Time to start looking for another restoration project, so I'm selling all the extra stuff from my last...
I'm cleaning off some of the shelves in the shop now being I sold my beloved 750 Maxim/Seca bike (hard to see it go) I have a few things some of...
Yes, I got the asking price. When I posted the bike, I stated that the price was firm. I don't ask for more than I'm willing to pay for item and...
Just thought I'd post my '82 Seca on Craigslist to see if anyone was interested. It only took about 20 minutes and got three calls. The first...
Re: Woot! Jumped dead battery and bike is out of storage If the battery ran completely dead, it may have froze and cracked the case. You may want...
I just have a sun dial mounted on my tank! ;) But seriously, my clock is displayed on my radio.
Keep me in mind when you sell some :). Especially if you have one already (cleanly) cut up to fit a modern radio (larger rectangular opening). Or...
I've had the cycle sound system on a few Vetter fairngs and they seem to work pretty good. I think it was mainly because of less wind noise to...
I'm running a speedometer from an older Honda CB350 street bike and it is spot on (I checked it with my GPS) Just an idea if you can find one on...
I did my fairing last year with Duplicolor spray car paint. I wanted to match the colors of my bike and I found a Duplicolor that's was a pretty...
I've made several windshields in the past years using Lexan, which is more expensive than Plexiglas, but almost indistructble. Use cardboard to...
Your better off with a tank from a 650 Maxim. It's a direct fit with no mods needed and looks alot better than the big ugly Seca tank, that's for...
I had to make my own brackets to mount a Vetter fairing on my 750 Seca years ago. I first positioned the firing where I wanted it (propped up with...
I just have an automotive type cigarette lighter mounted on my handlebars. Mine's actually for lighting my cigarettes, but I also use it to power...
Foley? I went to Foley High School! What year did you graduate?
Hey Yammadof, I did a nice ride up there a few years back. Up along the north shore, then up Hwy #1 to Eli. That's a great ride. >PD<
I have a 650 Maxim tank on my '82 750 Seca and it's a perfect fit complete with the gas gauge plugged in.
Hey Scott, Welcome aboard! I'm just outside of St. Cloud. Where you at?
When I bobbed my 750 Seca, I replaced the big ugly speedo/tach with a small speedometer and LED indicator lights. All the other wires I didn't...
Santos, Good find! When I asked about mufflers at the Harley dealer next door, they said when they install aftermarket pipes on a new bike, they...
Although I do have a windshield on my bike, my sound system can be heard clear as a bell without one at highway speeds. No need for earplugs. The...
Streetbrawler, Ya, it's been awhile. Now that winter's here, I can start tinkering in the shop again. You can find a good, cheap pair of...
Just wondering if any of the members have speaker/amp sound systems on their bikes. I know it's mostly the cruiser crowd that uses them, but...
Seat covers can be found thru Ebay, JC Whitney or Dennis Kirk for most older metric bikes. Just FYI.
I also used cardboard for a template to get an idea on the size/shape I'd need. I then used old sign aluminum to make a seat pan out of. It's easy...
Just a comment on the tail light... The LED truck light is a good idea (I have the same one!) but the way you have it mounted will only cause...
Been there, done that, got the free t-shirt too! I've went to that show many times and I guess I don't get anything out of it anymore. I guess...
I'm for simplicity also. I like the way the 750 Seca runs, but not liking all the carbs and electrica crap I came with (disabled most of it...
I bleieve your exhaust headers are 1-3/4" outside diameter if I remember right. I'mnot sure what Harley model/year those mufflers on mine are off...
Not sure if the 650s and 750s are the same, but I slipped a pair of Harley mufflers onto my header pipes right behind the collector box. They...
When my bike was still stock, I used GOOP to repair a long crack in the side cover and it held up very well. I glued it on the inside before...
I think white walls belong on old cruisers, sitting in museums so I don't have to look at them, but that's just me. Didn't like'm on cars and...
...24 hours later - 7 degrees with a howling wind. Winter is finally here I guess.
I use Seafoam in all my engines for stabilizing the fuel during the months when I'm not using them. I also use it during the riding season to keep...
Riding in Minnesota today. 52 degress is unreal for January.
I'd tend to agree...yes it wll fit.
Depends on the quality of course and how much you end up paying for it. I bought both of mine at a fleet farm store ($25~ or so/each) that have...
I've customized many stock bike seats from almost every bike I've owned. First remove the vinyl cover and plastic (some have plastic over the...
