Always looking for an exhaust collector in good shape ;)
Finally got around to breaking down the front end after my crash a few months back. I thought the forks were bent but it looks like just the...
Moved the bike last night and now seeing the bars / front wheel are 5 degrees off or so. The "triple tree" ever slip and allow something like...
Just the top half, really. Mine's broken beyond repair :(
Just got into it a little tonight... The ignition switch had the bolts pull out / break the housing so the electrical was wacky. Other than that,...
So I've been absent for a while because I bailed in a corner that had some gravel after a storm and laid the Seca down :( I've just been looking...
Winner winner chicken dinner;) As soon as I read it I knew you were right. And went and found the spot on the garage door. Thing that scared me...
It randomly appeared on my garage floor when I got home tonight on the bike and I'm not a big fan of things just falling off. Family says they...
I'd love to take it off your hands if the wife wouldn't disown me... Interested in the luggage / rack though. I'll PM you if you want to give me...
U-Haul trailer.... $16 / day
Dude, that's sweet I'm curious what it looks like from the front.
Thanks! I was thinking of that because it too is pretty "cloudy" and dirty looking. But, like you, I'm thinking too much of the stuff will make...
So I normally try to keep my Seca 100% Stock. But, the side panels are so oxidized in the "Black Area" they are pretty much silver all over and...
Finally got the main crank seal out and installed the new. That was a pain in the butt. The new one had to install twice, as it had a "pucker" at...
I did a little more research and think I'll get it out tonight. Will post a pic or two.
I got the replacement shim... measured a few more times... replaced, measured too thin, put the old one back and left it alone. When I make sure...
So suggestion is just get 180 deg. and don't over think it... ;)
In doing my Spring shim checks... I know normally the clearance is when the Cam lobe is a 180゚ away from the pad. Anyone ever get maximum...
It's supposed to be raining all week so I tore into the bike yesterday to do all my maintenance for the upcoming summer... Took off starter,...
I haven't had to do this thankfully as mine still had the airbox... but being lazy and liking to invent... anyone ever try to cut the airbox, then...
Nice Car :-) The hood and quarter panel looked like my old GTS from the other angle. I had a red square back and then a silver hatchback like...
Holy crap, man... is that a Toyota Celica GTS??? Please tell me it's a square back as well. That is exactly my first car... same color and...
It's actually mine... need the garage space. It only cost me the $60 for a trailer and gas to go get it for free. I was going to part it but just...

I just went out to the garage and hugged my Seca... whispers, "This will never happen to you baby..."
Cool bike :-) Quick question... what are the header pipes covered with?
Or easier to find, yes :)
All good suggestions!! Thanks
One thing that always bugged me was the rust in this area that I didn't have a good way to refinish: [ATTACH] So I got so I got some reasonably...
Hey Sean!! Glad you are enjoying the bike I'm in Charlottesville and MD isn't that far away, so if you ever head down this way PM me... :) Oh,...
I had a run in with those screens... but think I'm still glad to keep them there? Better than disassembling the carbs and cleaning passages....
hmmmm.... sounds good, will try.
I use sunglasses under my full face... hasn't been an issue at all. The only thing I don't like about my C-11 is there is no "Just a hair open"...
I also like the brown shag door / bike guard.
Thanks guys, I actually do have some muffs the PO gave me with the bike. I've been hesitant to try them. Honestly, they look to me like they will...
Thanks K... that's what I was thinking. Just a little help for 30 min ride to work in the morning when it's 38. But not needed on the way home...
Anyone ever try just a small deflector and was it good for anything? Something like this I would fabricate a somewhat hidden bracket for and it...
I'd be curious how the collector /mufflers are.... internal / external.
Bolt solution actually worked pretty good. And when I couldn't save some header to collector gaskets, a fiberglass wrap homemade gasket soaked in...
Took my collector to work and went with the bolt through the baffle to outside top of collector. Then welded the nut on the external side so it...
Thanks, but I've had it off and inspected so many times now... and the weld solved all issues for 200 miles. Just didn't get enough meat on the...
Aaaand…. on the way to work this morning baffle just started to rattle just a little bit again. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Exhaust teardown yet...
Tonight I opened up my bad starter to find it full of oil... :mad:
You may be able to tell that I always want it to run like it's brand new.... I need to chill out ;)
SO... After a failed sealer attempt (just a little, wanted to see what that stuff hardened into... my conclusion is good for a pinhole to hold you...
Was able to weld... nevermind :rolleyes:
I need to stop panicking and looking for parts. So this is what's going on with my Seca Loose internal baffle on one side which makes sense as...
Thanks Joe, I'm going to boroscope this one and see if anything can be done. But want to move quickly to find one if necessary.
Yup, the bike is running great... it's just the god awful noise...
