[@Donjacobson11]

I was wondering why the roads look so familiar in the beginning of this video you are in north haven that’s my home town lol

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I just moved here last June I love the area.

[@Donjacobson11]

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl it’s a beautiful area also route 77 in durham/guilford is a nice ride and so it’s route 79 if you haven’t rode those roads yet you definitely should!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

@@Donjacobson11 definitely will be exploring. Last summer was very busy with setting up our new place this year I have plenty of time to ride.

Hey Carl. I'm thinking of buying the Seca II as my first bike, a 92 model too. What should I look out for? She has 56k km on her. Thanks!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

It can be fixed but wear in the parts in the clutch beyond the clutch plates you will hear it rattling if its worn. Otherwise its a 30+ year old bike so nothing will be perfect. Take it for a ride and see how it rides. Good luck let me know if you get it.

How did you like the progressive fork springs and the shocks that you upgraded to? I did the same to my 1981 Yamaha XS 1100 Midnight Special and it completely changed for the better how my bike rides and handles in turns. I love them . I did a complete and total restore on my Midnight Special. I own 3 bikes and all 3 have the progressive 412 series shocks but the other 2 do not have the upgraded progressive fork springs. My other 2 bikes are a 1998 Suzuki Intruder 1400cc and a 1981 Yamaha XS 1100 Special.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I think the bike is a much more comfortable ride and handles alot better. Definitely worth every penny. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
