Searching the web for 907ie pictures I found this one:
http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/088944/
I was astonished. From my personal point of view, it's the only Paso modification really improving the look of this naturally elegant bike.
I tried to contact the owner asking for technical informations, but his mailbox isn't working any more.
Do you have any suggestion about how to carry out the modification? (e.g.: spot front lights model/manufacturer, electrical modifications, etc)
I would like to do something similar on my 907, but to have a modified bike authorized for street rides in Italy requires a long validation procedure. That's why I have to set up both paper and craftwork in the correct way.

I like this setup as well and tried to contact the owner to no avail. I'm thinking that the first step in modifying your bike would be to graft a plastic plate into the existing light cavity. After that it's a matter of sourcing the lights and figuring out your wire harness.
I'll look into lights and do another post if I find something.

Just to make the investigation easier consider that:
1 - Front side light 3W (750/906) & 5W(907i.e.)
2 - Main Front Light 55/60W-H4 bulb iodine-double filament (750/906/907)
3 - Regulator 3A (750/906) & 5A(907)
4 - Generator 300W (750) & 350W (906/907)
The light power shall be taken into proper consideration to avoid regulator/generator failures.

I still prefer the red one with small circular lights.
This is just for comparison!

There is some really interesting stuff there but I don't think that small headlights suit the front end of the Paso.
With the standard sized headlight they look like a Hammerhead shark,
with the small lights they look like a Humpback whale :thumbdown:
I have seen (but can't find again) pictures of a Paso with small Spot lights mounted under the indicators which was very well done & looked good, this is an option worth considering.
At least that is what I reckon. The blue Paso with the big single light is very intreguing though, looks well done.
What is it with the Japanese & the Ducati, Paso's in particular they just seem to love them

I found this catalogue of an italian motorcycle lights manufacturer

It will be useful for the choice of the headlight shape.
