welp, i picked up a ratty paso 750 this weekend - and i need some parts:

Ebay may soon be your best friend. You probably won't find those parts here very easily; usually any extras are being hoarded. They can all be difficult to come by, but ebay is a good source to keep an eye on. They do make the rounds, so set yourself up a global search to email you new results.

Did you happen to pick up the bike at Mid-Ohio? Is it a red '88 750 w/ Ferracci pipes & a pair of Mikuni flatsides? If so, this is Jake - I had an Agip tshirt on and stopped by your tent yesterday afternoon.

I saw there was another red Paso for sale @ the VMD, too. So if the above description doesn't quite match you but you did get it there, then I may have passed you going over the bridge from the infield Saturday afternoon - I had the blue '88 750.

Either way, congrats on your new purchase and welcome to the site!

Hey, how are ya! Glad to see you signed up.

$1300 ain't too bad at all. Just FYI about Airtech - those are race-quality skins, so you'll have to fit and drill all the mounting holes, along with the headlight cavity - and I don't believe the Airtech stuff has the recess for the stock mirror/turn-signal pods, so you'd have to get a little creative in that department. I don't see why you couldn't continue to use the stock pods, but the discerning eye might notice a difference. Also, I think the airtech stuff is a little more "throw-away" than the stock, as in not as resilient of thick. But I think you can get the whole kit & caboodle for around ~$900.

Congrats again - it sounds great, by the way. Love those pipes ... and like I said Sunday, if you ever decide to part it out, give me a holler.
