Hi,
I am writing to introduce myself. I live on Long Island in East Patchogue and have recently purchased an 82 Seca 400. I actually learned many years ago on an XS400. I now have the Seca running well. I am now onto rebuilding the brakes. I hope to take some detailed photos and post. I have found it frustrating that the Seca BRake Calipers seem to be difficult to obtain as rebuilt units. The bleed nipple on mine is broken off and will require chucking in the milling machine to remove. Concequently I purchased another off of Ebay. Anyway it is a fun relaxing project.
I was surprised when I heard the DOHC twin fire up this Saturday. It sounds really GOOD for a 1982 bike. It sounds NOTHING like my XS Heritage special which I honestly never really liked (sorry guys )
All the best,
Joe
