The fitting of my HEL braided lines was a bit hit and miss as well. For some reason one of the lines from the splitter to the caliper has a twist in it and I have never been able to make it sit quite right. Mailed HEL to ask about this but never got a reply...

Thanks for the heads up Lane1! Just put a bid on the rear sprocket. Wondering if I should go for the Weber manifold for a garden ornament?

Fantastic G! Will there be cake?

Although I haven't been very active of late I'm still checking in on a regular basis. The forum has been a great source of information for all this time and I hope there are many more years to come.

Cheers,

Mike

It's great to see the forum back up and running. You guys rule!!!!

Hi whitepaso, If I'm correctly informed the play for the horizontal cylinder is 5mm and 6mm for the vertical one. This web site http://www.ducatisuite.com/belttension.html has a description of the procedure using a 5mm or 6mm Allen key to measure the play between the belt and one of the rollers. I c...

Thanks for drawing my attention to that Claude, never noticed it before! Just tipped in an X-mas bonus, because this site has saved my bacon more than once.

Hi Rick, The circlip sits in a groove in the casting of the of the master cylinder and this holds the piston in. Could this groove have been filled in the powder coating process? I have to admit that I actually ended up going with a 916 master with a remote reservoir in the end. Even with the overha...

G'Day Don,

Welcome to the forum! Lots of knowledgable folks here who are more than willing to help out with information. It has allowed me to keep my Paso running and on the road.

If you decide to go ahead with your Can-Am project I'd love to see some photos!

Cheers,

Mike

Hey G, I didn't realise at first, but looking at the pics of your brakes I see that you have 4 piston Brembos with the original disks (and the 6 piston Nissins). Am I right in assuming that they are 40mm calipers with an adapter to mount them on the fork leg? Any other modifications? What pads do yo...

Hi Jorgen, Welcome to the forum! You'll find some excellent folk here who are very helpful and extremely knowledgable on these bikes. The information they supplied has been instrumental in keeping my Paso going. Oh yeah, and there is the mentioned madness... :D The supplier you want to keep an eye o...

Good to hear you're getting back in the saddle Skins. I'm tossing up between waiting for these new tyres, or to go for the combo of a Metzeler ME880 (180/60/16) and Avon Azaro (170/70/16). Jay from Mildura is using this combination and seems to be very happy with it. I'm trying to squirel some $$ aw...

G'Day Skins!

It's good to see you back here! Hope you've been keeping well.

Hi Mobius,

The vendor McTool mentioned is Motolectric. http://www.motolectric.com/makes/ducati.html
Very good kits to upgrade the starter circuit from Italian 80's quality to something more useful.

The carbon ones from Ebay live in Australia now...
