that's a huge help! thanks hamish. yes, i probably made a mistake either measuring or converting. i am a mess with numbers lately. must be age or benzine...
i'll get that document ready soon.
best wishes, randy.

Please, when time and schedule permit, could the gentleman (men or lady) with a stash of new Michelins in the closet/garage/shed favor us with a measurement of the actual diameters and widths of the specimens they hold so that these values can be compared to some actual dimensions of existing tire c...

i just wanted to drop this link into the discussion in case it would help our friend in search for some paso body parts.

skagg springs road is god's gift to motocyclists! coleman valley road is good. i met friends in fairfax sat. morn, but we rode back to the east bay hills due to the fog. grizzly peak, skyline and golf links road we slightly sunny and it was a short ride, but always great to be on the paso. i find my...

this data may help: the bridgestone excedra G722 170/70 R16 - 173mm (6.8 in.) wide, 25.3 in. dia.4.5" rim recommended a better choice may be: the bridgestone exedra G704 180/60 R16 - 175mm (6.9 in.) wide, 24.5 in. dia. 5 in. rim recommended or perhaps this one: the metzler ME880 180/60 R16 - 17...

I purchased my '87 Paso with 40mm Del'Ortos and I am very pleased with the set-up. The carbs are real easy to adjust or rebuild, and they are Italian, and they work w/o fail. No fuel pump in the system is, I believe a good thing. The Del'ortos are simple and appropriate to the 750 Paso methinks and ...

hey ethan, i'll be riding up the coast from fairfax to jenner on saturday 1/16/10. passing tomales bay around 10:30 am. busy then? best, randy

so this of course begs the question "what mods did you perform to make the 130/70 and the 180/60 shinkos fit?" please tell, so we can share the info. thanks and good luck selling the tires! best, randy.

I don't know if i should laugh or cry after seeing this cupboard of Michelins! Are you sure they are safely tucked away? A man sometimes creates for himself a false sense of security about these things and it starts to naw at him, work at his psyche 'till he can't sleep and the stress of his big sec...

Well, son of a gun, you lucky so and so. Who's got those tires for sale? Again, nice job procuring the tires. Of course, you'll never make it out of this forum alive... Say, there is currently a headlight lens for sale in the US on eBay.I believe I've been seeing it there for about a week. Good luck...

so, congratulations! now please tell us about your tires. what did you install and how do they fit?? i would think the 80 sizes would be too tall for swingarm and for front fender. i'm looking for a pirelli sport demon 120/70 - 16 M/C 57P TL and a pirelli sport demon 150/70 - 16 M/C 68S TL, but i'm ...

Well, thank you all. Sorry about the steep learning curve represented by my tire size naiveté. The Paso I've lost my heart to has Akront rims on Marvic rims, ala 851 Strada. 3.5" front width rim, 5.0 rear width rim. I like the Avon Azzaros i'd love to fit a AV45 130/70 to the front and a AV46 1...

Mr. T, I would like to open the bidding with an offer of $300US. Thank you for the chance to make this offer. Best, Randy.

Thanks for your sage advise. I will heed it and let them go. Say, is there any problem putting a 120 width tire an a 3.5" paso rim? And just to drive you crazy, I'll go ahead and ask: would a 130/70 16 likely be smaller in diameter than a 120/80 16 size. I owe everyone a round. Best wishes, Ran...
