good work mate. Krakan

Interesting looking Paso!. Are the front air panels homemade or did you graft on some dirtbike panels? I bet it would look pretty good if you were to mate a Monster seat with solo cowling onto the subframe.

How about "wheeling" ??? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Btw, U have to put something to the end of exhaust can, when its raining, or You have plenty of water in sylinders.... :funny: :funny: :funny:

It's quite a work, piero!
Hope you'll enjoy it!
What about riding with bar risers?
I've seen the same done on a yamaha r1 and the owner says it's a very easy handling...
E' davvero un gran lavoro, Piero! Spero tu te la goda!
Come è guidare con il manubrio intero anzichè con i tronchetti?
Ho visto una cosa del genere su una r1 e il proprietario dice che è molto più maneggevole...

[ducapiero]

Effetivamente è molto più maneggevole e sopratutto più leggera nei repentini cambi di direzione per no parlare poi della comdità di stare più dritti con la schiena...
anche se ho preso un manubrio il più dritto possibile per sentire bene la ruota davanti....
a proposito penso di sostituire le michelin con delle dunlop o altre 130/70/16...

In fact it's more light and the handling increase especially in strict turning and you stay in line with your back
but i choose a straight bar to feel good front tyre...
i think i'm going to change this from the michelin to a dunlop or others 130/70/16

A proposito di gomme, su ebay c'è un treno di Michelin nuove.
Il manubrio alto potrebbe essere interessante e proprio qualche giorno fa c'era in asta una piastra di forcella artigianale con risers e manubrio dritto x Paso.
Sono stato tentato, il prezzo finale mi sa che non è arrivato neanche a 40 €., ma secondo me il manubrio dritto con la carena sta veramente male.
Eppoi il Paso non è davvero una moto spaccaschiena.
A questo punto uno si prende un bel Monster e la finisce lì !!

About the tires, on eBay there is a couple of new Michelin.
The hight handlebar could be interesting, and some days ago there was on auction a fork clamp with the risers and an straight handlebar.
I was tempted, the final price was less than €. 40, but then I thought that the straight, hight handlebar doesn't agree with a fairing bike.
Finally, the Paso doesn't a backbreaking bike.
So, it would be better buy a good Monster !

Ciao

I never had much problem with the seating position on the paso. Knees only bothered me in extreme cold of extended riding...(road trips). I do think you have created a more user friendly bar position. As carple tunnel problems set in the paso's bars bothered me and required adjustments inarm position to allow time in the saddle.

I just hope you didn't do away with a perfectly good paso in this project. It is a departure from the paso but I like it and give you credit for the ingeniuty. I am pleased to see you came up with a good way to blend the tank. I would llike to see a head on shot. Is that possible?

Don't mind me, I am on a bourbon excursion.
