Re: 906 fairings to 907IE

The side fairings are the same between 906 and 907. Obviously the nose sections look different but they will directly swap between both models.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

Thanks for your non-constructive comments.
Maybe you should post some pictures of stuff you have built.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

how did you solve it with the bearings in the engine case? I assume the 999 engine originally uses a 20mm swingarm pivot. The 999 does use a 20mm pin, but I did not use the 999 cases. The 999S have deep sump cases and those wouldn't fit with the bodywork. So I am using ST3 cases with the 999 intern...

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

Speedmade, don`t mind me asking but seeing that the thread of the 20mm pivot is longer I wonder which part of it sits in the frame. Hope you get what I mean. (if it`s the threaded part it could cause radial play, which may be gone if all is tightened up, but still...) No issue. The full 20mm sectio...

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

The frame will be powder coated once I finish the rest of the modifications to install the 999S motor

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

This should make for a much stiffer chassis.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

I had to turn the head of the new pivot down slightly to fit down the frame pocket.
On the other side I had to source a small OD flange nut.
Everything fit so I could install the black plastic caps.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

Modifications to the bearings in the swingarm were pretty straight forward. Sourced some new bearings and made a few new spacers.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

Measuring the inside of the frame I realized that there would be very little surface area left so I had cups machined that I welded over the original pivot area.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

My plan was to bore out the frame but it was impossible to fit in a milling machine. So I made fixtures that allowed me to drill out the holes in steps.

Re: Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

I found a 20mm axle from some Japanese bike was very close in spec to the Paso pivot.

Paso 20mm swingarm pivot modification

I found that the Paso has a 15mm swingarm pivot. That is very small especially considering that all other Ducati models since 1990 they have used a 20mm pivot. So I decided that I wanted to upgrade.
This would require modifications to the frame and the bearings in the swingarm.
