Re: Adding engine oil

There are two plugs on its inner side that sit in rubber grommets on the bottom side of the tank which is why it's still holding when the two bolts are removed. Anyone got any spare of these grommets? My bike lost them before getting to me and i have a work around in place. if i had a proper one i ...

Re: Paint works

Re: lots of money ? no brains ? ........step right this way

Wow ... were they really $15k new? Assuming that's NZD, that's still $10k USD by today's values, anyway. And for late 80's, that seems like a lot! In Australia the importer was selling the 750 for more than AU$15K new... it was serious exotica, only a HD (from the same sole "independent" ...

Though it would be nice if once we all bought Paso's they became a sought after forgotten era classic and worth $50k.

Re: A Paso in need.

crazy money if it goes for that but will be interesting to see if it does sell. Aussie Paso's are about double the price of the rest of the world...
