Re: Old age is catching up!

Lo Hamish. Funnily enough, I just purchased a couple of drain plugs and crush washers to suit from Belt and Bevel in Australia over the weekend, along with the gaskets for the water pump cover. Only cost about 40 bucks for the lot, so in NZud dollars, probably closer to a 200!? The thermostats have ...

Re: fairing fasteners

The eBay link will take you to the screws/washers,well nuts. It is not from the supplier I got the stainless steel screws I got some time back. https://ebay.io/m/9CJyps They look the same as what I got. The bonus is you get the well nuts too! You will need about 30 of them all up if you replace the ...

Re: fairing fasteners

I have only found new black screws and washers to be available through Mr Ducati. They have a M6 thread. Be prepared for a shock when you buy them that way. The cost is prohibitive! There are two screws that go into a captive nut in the fuel tank (right up the top of the main left and right fairing)...

Re: Old age is catching up!

Hi Hamish. That does look pretty! I was beginning to wonder where you were! I have found all the parts, such as the thermostat, cover and gaskets. Now to measure it all up once it’s all in the same spot. Hopefully next month? There is an online silicone hose outlet that does all sorts of bends, adap...

Old age is catching up!

Hi everyone. Yep, old age is catching up. Since joining about 16 or 17 years ago, the Paso/907 has aged. I have now moved into the next phase too, so have a little extra time to look at things that I just never had the time to look at. In the above time frame, I have added the odd bike to the fold, ...

Re: My shed

Morning McTool. Wow! Now that is a shed worth its weight! It’s funny when you dismantle a bike/engine/toilet etc, there is always a nut/screw/washer left over. My brother had an old husky m/c bike which he had the motor rebuilt. They gave him a box of bits they weren’t quite sure where they came fro...

Re: Headlights

The throw to the left is only in low beam. I like the idea of mounting a 7”x5” LED headlight in the plastic surround, as this would solve the problem of crap standard lights, reduce the load on the alternator and extend the life of parts supply a little in the future. It would be a little tight on t...

Re: Headlights

Hi everyone. In a fit of madness I have purchase a US import Paso 750. It was in a private collection for about 10 years, and has never been “converted” to the correct side of the road. Finding a headlight is proving to be a little difficult. Even eBay only has US or Euro headlights posted. LED tech...

Re: Brembo 65mm brake adapters

Hi. The adapters look the ducks nuts. From the photos, the friction material of the pad looks to be about central to the brake surface of the disk, so you would have to assume maximum brake force is applied to the disk. As the adaptor is from a 3D printer, I assume the material is plastic? Will the ...

Can’t edit previous post. The jet went into the feed side to the Weber.

Re: 906 dies after sustained throttle

Hi. I replaced the Y piece in a 750 with a brass Y I found on flea bay. The jet I screwed into the feed line side of the Y, so it was firm and not floating around. The plastic Y fell to bits when I removed it. I guess after 30 odd years it was ready to go!? If the bowl is running dry, it sounds like...

Re: A Question Strangers ........it's a mirror thing.

I think the 907 came with the plate and the mirror clipped on. In the event of an accident, or someone needing a replacement, they pop off rather than being ground off by gravel. I’m pretty sure my 750 has a couple of studs going through the fairing with nuts and washers on the inside. Pretty sure t...
