think they look the same as the ones here, mine was. a seca , had the yellow fog light under the headlight, , I had to sell her, was getting too silly on it, scraping everyrhing that could be scraped , , was running like a dog when I bought it, po had installed the wrong plugs  :wacko3:,, i swapped the ridiculously pathetic front brakes with the half cable , half hydrolic set up for xj900 brake mc calipers ect and fitted a bikini fairing ,, should of kept it  :dash2:

Yeah, his is also a seca. He is a long way from being a peg-scraper yet, though... I think the bike will stay well beyond his limits for a few years. Good to know the XJ900 brakes bolt-in, I'll keep it in mind if he ever ends up wondering about doing an upgrade--unfortunately, that was a one year bike here in the US, so I'm sure they're not the easiest things to find around these parts.

As for you wishing you kept it, how many bikes could you need!? With 3 FJ's, that's the last thing I'd imagine you to be missing, haha.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.
