    1982 XJ550 Seca with 7,800 miles. Stock except unknown 4:1 collector with Kerker can.

    I took Fitz's advice on the Eurobend bars and I love them. I've also fitted Napoleon bar end mirrors since the stock ones only gave me a great look at my own shoulders.

    While it was apart I rebuilt my entire front brake system. The lower bars need a shorter top hydraulic brake line. I worked with Len (Chacal) on this part and he was absolutely helpful. He sent me a mockup which I test fitted and marked, then sent back to him. He had the hose completed to my spec and right back to me...now that is customer service and biker brotherhood.

    Fitz recommended a 750 clutch cable, and that works out of the box. The throttle cable needed to be rerouted and it works perfect. Now this bike is roadworthy.

    I've already reshoed the rear brake, had the carburetors overhauled, adjusted valves, tuned. She's a screamer....time-traveler with low miles.

    Woo-Hoo!
