    Anyone have any recommendations for a good rear tire for my 82 650 Seca? The current one has absolutely no tread left on the middle 2/3 of the tire.

    You are in the great Pacific Northwest.
    I'm just north of you 2 min North of the 49th. If you plan on riding rain or shine is my first choice is bt45 Bridgestone or Avon am 22/23 if it's fair weather only .on my nice seca has SE11 Bridgestone
    That work well for most riding ( not draging foot pegs ) ok you can do it with se11's but they start to dart around at full lean above 80 mph and it's not the shocks I have new Progressive ones

    You bet , had a new one back in 81 only owned it for 6days . At dealership we only had new black ones left at end of August so when a customer came looking for a red one mine was the only one he pleaded with me to sell it to him so with just 350 Kms on it I was bike less on Friday night took a used bike home and only weeks later we got word from Yamaha that new xj650r's where on the way. sweet for me!

    He must've been one lucky guy. But you got the best part of the deal.

    Oops well too late now, I guess I'll have to be careful, maybe buy a bt 45 front if I feel uncomfortable.

    Thanks again
