The nice thing about having a garage in which to keep your Paso is that there are at least 3 convenient walls against which to bang your head.
I'm still inching towards getting a pair of Mikunis installed in my Paso. Got a Mikuni vacuum fuel pump, intakes (ported for the fuel pump), new throttle, cables (although I still need a good choke cable) but when I went to install everything I realized ... the carbs I have don't have a bracket to which the throttle cables would mount and by adjusted. Does anybody have a spare bracket they'd consider parting with? And possibly a choke cable with a barrel at both ends?
Much obliged ... !

Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.

Re: Mikuni pieces
Funny I had the same problem a few weeks ago but I was lucky to have one Mikuni with that bracket to copy. I tried asking on another Duc forum but was only offered complete Mikuni carbs and I lost on the only auction I saw selling two disassembled Mikunis.
Meanwhile my parts are between here and Australia so I can`t attempt to make another but you should try to ask on general Duc forums or some for Supersport or Monsters as chances may be higher there to find what you need.
If your choke cable from the Paso is ok you won`t need another one. That`ll fit.

Re: Mikuni pieces
That bracket came out awesome!!
Regarding the choke cable though, the Mikuni takes a barrel-end, and the one off my Weber doesn't have anything on the end - it just clamped into a block with a screw.
I'll have to have another look ... maybe I'm missing something
