My god someone has gone to a lot of trouble there - its the sort of project I've often thought about but always stopped well short the moment I start looking at just the cost of the components - I guess its workable if you happen to have a crashed monster and a crashed 916 knocking around but that just makes you careless :lol:

Not all who paint are artists.
A rather pointless exercise if you ask me. Lots of other projects I would do before this, unless its one of those design challenges - What can you make with all of these parts? Maybe an episode of Junk Yard Wars TV show.

yeah them eyetie's sure pulled one out of the hat when the grew the paso , I aint never seen one that looked better than original, everything anybody ever did to one only detracted from the looks ( apart from the odd paint job ), body and shape wise they cant be bettered

about the looks, I prefer the original.

Oh I can understand some one wanting to fit a 4 valve donk into a paso , a bit more stomp never hurts and if I had another paso and a 916 donk ( and a lot more money :) ) Id probly have a go myself , but it would have to look normal ( apart from the obligatory brake upgrade ) :D
