I am just about done with this 83 xj550 Seca. It is pretty much all original. I still have to install the pods, tune the carbs, and bleed the brake...Then I need to figure out how to install the fairing..
It will be on the market once it is going right. Of course, I will have to take it around the block first.
Hi MrYeats,
it wouldn't be right to sell a bike until you'd ridden it to make sure it ran well.
Um, how big of a block would that be?
Here ya go, Fred. The 'official' map we use down here. Should give you an idea of MrYeats Corpus
Christi neighborhood block size. I figure it could be done in a day or so...
Hey TwoMany, Isnt Saskatoon in North Texas?
It seems the tech I took my bike to is all too familiar with my situation. He is not young and stupid and would probably take offense to anyone assuming he did not know his business. I guess I will remain one of these outsider types that goes against the grain of what is "acceptable" in this community. I guess some call it thinking "outside the box".
I do respect the views of others and a good slam is always called for or so it seems. Why not temper the remarks of how screwed up a guy is by at least commenting in some positive way as well, like "Gee, your bike looks good and good luck on your venture". Or something of that nature instead of just leaving a fellow to feel like a true idiot for daring to go against that grain....
