brake pads - sport vs paso?

Post by Mustang505 »

Hi Guys
on a lot of the aftermarket brake pad manufacturer websites catologues list the 750 & 900 paso pads but seem to mix up 750 sport & 750 ss models and dates. One will tell you the sport was made right up to 2001! I don't know anyone with a paso. How common are brakes on the paso vs 750 sport? Are the front calipers the same? And the rear?
thanks for your help.
Clive
Cheers

my brother has an 89 sport and the calipers on it are the same as the calipers on my 1990 750 paso so yes i guess they are the same.

Yes, the 89-90 Sport and the Paso have the same brakes.
Same wheels too.

The confusion in searching for the 750 Sport is that our model was made for such a short time, it doesn't even register with some companies. Heck, Ducati barely acknowledges that it existed. They launched a 750 Sport in 91 or 92 as part of the SS series, and it ran for a long time. Basically, it was a low cost version of the 900.
