New owner for an old duc...

Post by Ghostwritr »

Greetings all.

I ran across this site while looking for info on the latest addition to my toybox - a 1990 750 Sport (as seen in my avatar). If somebody can clue me in as to how to include images in a posting, I will gladly pop up some pics for your viewing pleasure.

It's been well taken care of & has had a bunch of work done to it - 41mm Keihen smooth bore carb, fully upgraded Brembo brake system, 17" wheels, Fox Dual Clicker shock, lightened & balanced flywheel, racing pistons, Staintuned 2 into 1 exhaust and topped off with a Corbin seat.

I'm definitely loving the new toy - quick as heck, a NASTY sounding exhaust & it puts my '99 ST4 to shame in the handling department...

If there is any other sites that provide more information on these bikes, I would appreciate somebody giving me the links as I am trying to find information on them.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
to post pictures here, get a free photobucket.com account, upload your pics (ideal is 640x480 to 800x600size) and then post the direct link here after you clicked on [IMG] on top of your edit field.
so it`s: [img]your-link[/img]

I'm pretty happy so far, tell me what you guys think.

(That's my Turbo Eclipse in the background too... God it's great sometimes to be a single guy & have all the toys I want...)

PS: thought the forks of Paso and Sport were the same. Notice only now that there is no adjuster on the lower right fork leg of the Sport.

LOL,

That last pic is AWESOME!

I'm not ready to get rid of her just yet, but she does feel somewhat heavy and sluggish by comparison...

Here's some pics of her for your perusal:

The day I picked her up:

With a new custom front fairing from Germany:
