After a broken engine two years ago I decided repairing my 750 paso.
I found a crashed ducati ss 750i and took that engine.
To fit the engine is needed to cut the cases, the swingarm is the sbk narrow style and al the other fittings are little bit wider in the new engine cases.

Here is a video of the first engine start.

They look like 900ss FE rims to me.

the SS FE had standard 3 spoke rims. As the Marchesinis used on some Ducs have 5 spokes, I`d say these are from a jap bike (ie Honda Fireblade)

Anton, don`t forget that rear axle of Paso and Sport are different diameter.

Check :thumbup: - think ive got that part sorted thanks - biggest problem is rear wheel - the brake disc is too far in, the sprocket side is too far out and the cbr chain size is too big (sprocket is thicker than the sport - sport chain wont fit the cbr sprocket).

Got to get some machining done and see if i can get the sport sprocket fixed onto the cbr wheel :banghead:
