When I was wiring my aftermarket tach, I THINK it was Red (tach) to Tan (bike), Green (tach) to Grey (bike). Blue was for the backlight. The one...
^I used the MikesXS one Erman linked to on my '82 Seca 750 (dual discs). I have "superbike bend" bars on the bike. The brake light switch wiring...
8O I had no idea they were that expensive. I have read mixed reviews of these guys; that being said, most of the negative reviews I've read...
@poprider: Thanks man...I did end up getting some Rizoma knock-off bar end mirrors, they look much, much better. @todd, I did a quick search on...
I love the direction of this build...a non-hardtail, shortie fender, lowered bob, I absolutely love it!
I absolutely love it. You gonna do any rear fender (even a real short one) over the top of the plastic inner fender still on there? Nice work!
My Seca's one year older than me. All of the more successful relationships in my life have been with older women...coincidence? I think not...
I won't profess to know anything about front end swaps. My thought...if you had $45, buy it and try to install it. If it doesn't fit, or not...
Just found this thread...I love it! And I'm jealous of the cup holder. I've seen someone mount a bike water bottle holder, but yours is a ratty...
Len is not only an asset to this forum, but also to thousands of XJ'ers across the world, in keeping their XJ alive. His passion for these bikes...
Awesome! That's one of those things where I can appreciate the work that went into it....but it's still not for me. Do I spy a wheelchair...
I have to second this one. Additionally, there's a reason there are videos/purchasing guides, to choose the right size of gear. Focusing on the...
I've had success with Simple Green, hot water, and elbow grease (variation on Polock's suggestion). Soak in Simple Green (overnight), and work at...
Hey Ken- I wouldn't get that set for your bike. The 750 Seca stock handlebars have rubber coverings on them. The bars themselves have mounting...
I'm relatively new to riding in general, so I'm still wondering about some of the "preferred riding gear." Leather armored jacket and gloves...
Oh, you'll love this one.... When buying my XS11, cyl 3 and 4 weren't firing. I put my hands on the exhaust pipes while the engine was running...
Re: Fuel Injecting a Seca for Senior Design Project - Need Help! ^what darkfibre said...equal airflow to each cylinder. Infamous, are you...
Re: Fuel Injecting a Seca for Senior Design Project - Need Help! Infamous, if you go forced induction, does the IM volume matter as much (as...
The paint! Wow, it's just like my XS11...only mine shifts between a forest green and a dark purple/blue. Quick question: for those of us with...
I agree fully, a bob would look rediculous. However, streetfighter style? For sure. I'd keep it simple, strip it down to a naked bike,...
Building one of these up could be really cool... When I collected parts for my bike, it was an assortment of: chacal (member on this forum)...
Thanks Nate! The headlight mounts, I found on eBay, like this: LINK
I'm torn... I either want to try a cruiser-style, or modify another sporty naked (i.e., a Kawasaki Versys, as done up by Wrench Monkees: link)
One of my front turn signals got nailed by a rock, totally broke the lens. Of course, no one sells just the lens, so ordered a fresh four turn...
Just so long as the PassLock in your ignition hasn't gone out yet...
Is this for a Seca tank? (i.e., hence the bow up on the bottom of the tank?)
:lol: I know this is of little help, but something fun...when I was a little kid, I had a buddy who's dad drove a total POS, but his ignition...
Damn, I was hoping to see what it looked like...I've been contemplating a Sporty seat on my bike, and trying to visualize :) Thanks anyhow!
Sorry to hear about that, man...glad you're OK! I'd encourage you to at least meet with a lawyer, to discuss options (they'll often do a free...
^koolaid, I got them off of eBay. Just search for "billet turn signals" and some auctions like them should pop up. I saw in your build thread...
Hey koolaid, looks terrific! I'm not really an ape hanger guy, but your bike looks like it'd just be fun to cruise on when all wrapped up....
Got some knock-off Rizoma-style bar end mirrors from eBay, threw them on late last night. Lowers the profile of the bike a ton when compared to...
I love the color scheme! Too bad you didn't want a front fender...more paint "real estate" to contrast with the black of the wheels :) I had...
Lookin' sharp fiz :) My Seca is my first bike too...loving every mile of it. A 650 just like yours started showing up in my parking lot (car...
Thanks guys :) My buddy is doing a lot better; his hand is now OK, though his knee is still a little stiff from time to time. Unfortunately,...
Controls/MC Clearance Pics per a request, clearance on the bars of the XS controls and MC: [img] [img] [img]
Without knowing about the inner workings... Depending on your model of bike, I'd imagine with some creative fabrication of a foot peg and...
Trust me, this is how it's setup :) The crush washers that came with the master cylinder are rather thick, and looking at the picture, I can...
As you saw in the last pic in my previous post, the color changed. I took the fenders, tank, and plastics in to get painted. I got it done...
Brakes I opted to work with Len (chacal) to have a custom line made from the MC to the splitter log. Here it is mocked up: [img] Bit too...
WTF!? LOL!
I lol'ed at work when I first saw the pic...next year, you gotta bust out the beard too! :lol:
^I do have this spacer, so I guess I'm in the clear :) Thanks for the description Rick, and that is where I reinstalled it. I'm assuming...
Once this valve is back on the fork, where to you locate/orient it before adding air pressure? (the 0-17psi) Pics?
I like the shape of the rear fender...simple, certainly sporty, did you make it yourself? Also, you passed MOT with no mirrors? :)
I saw those at my local AutoZone; I just got a xs1100 I'm trying to "shut up"...just cramming one of those in the end of the exhaust would look...
I'm in the same boat as the OP...I just picked up a '79 xs1100 Special; the PO lost one exhaust baffle on the highway, then he drilled the second...
Gauge update and parts arrival I found a 3 SMD size #74 white bulb on eBay for the tach, looks way better...not identical, but this'll work...
Bracket Wanting to use the stock brake splitter log, so time to cut the mounting bracket... [img] Before using the dremel: [img] Further...
Thanks kool...the speedo is 03-0748 from MikesXS, the tach I got on eBay; here's a current auction for the one I got, same seller too: HERE...
