Hey Higgy, I think in the circumstaces you were very gentle with me!! i can't believe i just coughed to the world that i had done such a stupid thing. G, i did a similar thing at an airport, i saw what i thought was a people carrier taxi parked there and it wasn't until i had thrown my 4 kids in the...

I have delayed posting the result of my steering lock problem because i feel such a pratt, i mixed up the keys to my sport and was trying to unlock the Paso with the Sport key :banghead: thing is the sport key would activate the Paso's parking light mode but not unlock so i thought the lock had seiz...

Sorry Higgy et al. Have been otherwise engaged restoring houses rather than bikes - hope to tackle Paso lock soon, just had another little go at it, still won't budge so looks like i will be pulling front end apart.... again Cheers all Jon

Thanks everybody for the advice and the laugh i thought i was the only one with a hammer and adjustable BFS for a tool kit .
I shall be doing the evil deed on the steering lock this weekend, just when i thought i was making progress.......
Cheers all Jon

Esteemed 906 listers, I went away for 2 weeks for the Easter break and before i left i made my garage and various bikes within secure with 'D locks' and chains as you do for peace of mind sake really, i also locked my bikes steering locks (those that have them) including my Paso. On my return i unlo...

Thanks CB, seeing those latest pics of your 906 proves to me that the original look of the bike has been preserved, that original look is certainly lost in the 17" conversions that i have seen, and your preliminary findings on your test ride have convinced me that i should follow your path. Yes...

CB do you see any prob's with the warrant of fitness regarding the fitment of the new size tyres? would you even mention it? when i do the same conversion on mine i can't see any reason why i would need to mention such a conversion to the MOT test guys, any body else got a view on this 'declaration'...

way to many gas fumes :wacko: bet you blow your clutch out with air as well,Don't you :banghead: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: No Higgy, i don't blow out the clutch with an airline as even though asbestos hasn't been used for years i more than most are aware of the dangers of such an act, my Father ...

CB, my 906 is a UK spec bike and the vent pipe from the tank just vents to atmosphere as yours does behind the motor, nothing is missing from your bike, fit a cannister if you like? I know some American states (California) are very strict on emmisions and fit cannisters and a myriad of associated pi...

Hello CB and fellow 906ers, Called Dunlop UK still waiting for a reply but i have deduced that tyres are diametrically the same from info on net. As for leaving the UK 45 years ago i would say congratulations!! best move you ever made, i wish England was the same as you left it, this place has been ...

Hello CB thanks for the update, have 'replied' on your original thread.
Sprunghub, the dunlop rear tyre i couldn't recall above is a Dunlop D419 which is the equivalent / new version of the D250 here in England
cheers Jon

Hello CB, Well done, and thanks very much for the update, the 906 world eagerly awaits the final result / test ride!! As i mentioned earlier in this thread Dunlop D250's have been replaced by the D419 here in England which is aimed at the cruiser fraternity, i am having real trouble comparing the ac...

Hello Sprunghub, i live in England and i am also relatively new to the 906, currently my Paso is on the work bench with it's wheels and sprockets off awaiting a test ride report from colonialboy before i go ahead with his modification ie. reversing engine sprocket and machining rear sprocket for the...

Spoke with the owner last Friday and arranged to see the bike at his garage (Land Rover dealer) on Saturday afternoon, Saturday lunch time rang him to get post code for satnav as it was a small village only to find out he sold it earlier in the day!!! :,( :mad: I hope it went to an enthusiast becaus...
