When it comes to sourcing parts, I've had good luck with Rockwell Cycles in New York as well. I believe it was Nicole in the parts department (memory failing me right now; maybe I should order some more parts & remind myself), who really helped me out last summer. I was trying to find new clutch...

I'm in for a couple front turn signal lenses, and possibly a new Euro taillight. (I have one now, although there's a slight chip in it. I've toyed with the idea of making an LED brake/turn/tail light assembly, if ever there were a single, clear lens alternative. I'm not sure if an LED option would s...

I'll be replacing my clutch bearing (again) in the coming months, so I'll take a closer look at the mushroom pin. I had ordered a replacement pin (from Stein-Dinse) but it was much smaller than the stocker, so I kept the stock piece. And yeah, regarding activity, my Paso's been hibernating since Oct...

At the beginning of the season this year, my clutch threw in the towel. I think it was the perfect storm of age, failed slave piston seal and finally the bearing in the piston. I wound up replacing the friction plates in the clutch along with a new piston, spring, seal & bearing. Got through the...

What G said! The only thing that jumped out at me (besides the seat & exhaust) was the petcock access hole. I have a blue '88 here in the States, but no such access hole.

Enjoy, and welcome to the club!

And fastest lap time to boot! Undercut Pedrosa's '12 lap record by a second, and even undercut Marquez's fastest lap by .7s!

Nice to see Dovi coming into his own and doing some spectacular with the Desmosedici!

Not much traffic in this forum, hm?

Hard to say, but when I think of the times I've been pulled over on a motorcycle vs. the times I've been pulled over in a car - I'm pretty sure that I've avoided a ticket that I should've gotten on a motorcycle more often than I've avoided the same situation while driving a car. On a motorcycle, I'v...

Could be wrong but may have to replace entire unit. This Ducati part is actually reasonable and about $65 US. Nope. Ordered the part mentioned in my previous post from Bevel Heaven, and replaced it on my speedo drive. It needed a little coercing from a Dremel (wheel tine was too long, and the inner...

that's the same one I ordered and it worked fine.

Great! Thanks for the info!

My bike has gone more miles without a speedometer cable than it has with one, so when the speedometer started showing 0mph at speed recently, I chalked it up to the cable. I ordered a new cable; but when I took the old one off - it appeared to be serviceable still. Curious, but I figured I'd take a ...

Can that idea, I may be buying a 97 m750 for a screaming deal tonight.. As a long-time owner of one of those I recommend it. There were only 500 m750s brought over for '97, and they were all silver (not "Chromo", but an honest silver). Of those, 400 went to California & got special em...

I am! Bringing the Paso & kid #1; her first time, this year. Got a track lap ticket (she's already told me she wants to put her knee down ... sigh, not sure the Paso's ready for that, 2-up!) and we're parking in the 'Why We Ride/Cycle World' Rolling Concours behind the Pagoda, so look for a blue...

I don't think my shop ran into any problems getting mine mounted. What tire pressures is everyone running (w/ Shinkos)? Mine seem to have almost squared off some, in relatively short time, and they were sufficiently aired up (~40psi / ~2.75bar). Otherwise, so far, so good. They seem a little numb to...

I was about to ask why bother, but I see from your profile pic that your covers are exposed anyway, so that makes sense to ask. I have seen some interesting concepts with lexan windows, or vented ones with mesh grill inserts. If it's interesting or different you're looking for, I'd think you'd turn ...
