Re: 750 Sport refresh
Started the mock up of the bike. keeping the front faring as is, including the square headlight. Slight modification to the tail and might remove the rear passenger pegs / exhaust hangers for a more modern approach with aluminum hangers. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm127/tweakin_photo/B0787A9...

Re: 750 Sport refresh
Bike looks great. Rear huggers are pretty rare on this bike. Most people binned them as they were huge, and ugly. Haven't found a graceful replacement yet, as no other years fit, and the bolt pattern is odd. I see you have stock turn signals, which is uncommon. Most of those get broken and replaced...

Re: 750 Sport refresh
What parts did you get for the 17" wheel conversion?. I'm thinking I might go down the same path if the 16" tyres don't turn out to be good enough. Cheers Andrew Mostly 900SS parts. This thread breaks down how to do the conversion. http://forums.ducatipaso.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2698

Re: 750 Sport refresh
Yes, I did a quick start up just to make sure she would fire then shut her down. Once I started inspecting the bike it somehow turned into a complete tear down...

Help finding a couple parts
I am in the process of rebuilding my 1990 750 sport and it has cracks in the rubber belt covers. (pics) Anyone know where I can purchase a set or any other models that will fit.

750 Sport refresh
Hello from WA state! So I have a buddy who had this parked in his garage for 15 years with only 8600 miles on the odometer. Picked it up today for a deal I couldn't pass up. Needs a good cleaning and rubber parts replaced but it's almost all there. Deleted airbox with dual 38 Mikuni carbs as well. P...
