I have seen the light and have come back to owning a PASO.
I just got one and it has a Ohlins Shock. The resovoir says racing shock and thats about all the info I have.
Anyone know more about these?
I have a busted clock on this one, my last PASO had a working clock for 9 years up until I sold it. Apparently fried clocks are common - any ideas on how I can fix it.
All help is greatly appreciated

I think, You have Öhlins from some early 750 Paso(they had Öhlins).... I have never heard, that some other Öhlins will fit to Paso. 
And its easy to rebuild in Öhlins maintainner..and still spare parts are available.... Btw, much better, than Marzhocci.
About clock: Try to find Fiat Ritmo clock from some car wrecker.... Same clock! I havent opened any of those clocks, but remembering something, that plastic sprockets inside and thats why very difficult to fix it...

Enzo,
You can send your clock to Olympic Instruments at Pymble near Sydney. Great sevice, costs me about $70 dollars.Most times you will find your clock dies from an elctrical fault. Last time , mine was caused from a loose + terminal at the battery causing spikes through the system.
The parts aren't available anymore, so the just put in a different circuit board on your original face. It looks a little dodgy, but once you put it in the panel, nobody will know. I think I got them to leave the wires longer and then I was able to silicon the cicuit board behind the panel and next to the clock recess.

Thanks
Olympic don't do it anymore. St George instruments tells me the VDO clock internals are same size.
Problem is the hand bosses are different so I need to use VDO hands. Now I have found my car has the same VDO clock so I'm going to the wreckers to look for a clock and I will change the face, paint the hands to same as Ducati, solder in a valtage regulater from Dick Smith (Once 16 volts is achieved the IC on the PCB burns out) to protect from wayward spikes
