SECA FAIRING
Yamaha’s new 750 Seca presents special problems for an owner who wants to add a fairing. The square head and driving lights, plus covered handlebars, make normal fairings unusable. Action Fiberglass now has a handlebar-mounted quarter fairing made especially for the 750 Seca. The unit features four-point rubber mounting, gray tinted acrylic shield, and hand laminated fiberglass construction with a black gel-coat finish. Price is $169.95 from Action Fiberglass, CW-12, 2427 Sam Road, Jacksonville, Fla. 32216. Phone (904) 641-7071.
