Thanks for replying to my post. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. I was lucky enough to find a blue 87 750 with low miles (4200). The bike is in great shape as it was stored in a heated garage. The parts I need are the chain buffer on top of the swingarm, the little threaded rubber things that hold the instrument cluster to the fairing bracket and parts to mount the centerstand, which I have. Also, I am not internet savvy, so any help is surely appreciated. Hey but I'm learning! Any parts interchage or tire fitment info also. Thanks!

Read thru the FAQ at the top of the forum. This is our "encylopedia" of Paso issues.

All those parts should still be available through Ducati. If not, ProItalia in California often has obsolete parts on their shelves. I do know that the vibration dampers for the instrument cluster are something like $16 each, but you can get cheaper ones from McMaster-Carr and trim one side down to make them work. It is posted at least once on the forum....somewhere....

I found this

Public Service Announcement - For future reference, the vibration dampening mounts for the instrument cluster have an M4x.70 thread with each thread section being 3/8" long and the rubber section 3/8" in diameter and 3/8" in length. I surfed through McMaster-Carr's catalog and the M4x0.7 with the same sized rubber or neoprene section but 1/2" threaded sections are Part #9376K111 and $1.50 each. This means that you can buy this part MUCH cheaper than the OEM, but you will have to cut 1/8" off of the threaded section that will go into the instrument cluster so you don't break the housing (it is a blind hole). I hope this helps save someone a few bucks in the future.

and this

Try the following website: http://www.mcmaster.com. It's the web site for McMaster-Carr, distributors of a variety of hardware and equipment, who will sell to individuals directly.

The item you want is Part Number 9376K112. It is a Vibration Damping Mount, with metric threads M4x0.7, 1/2" tall by 5/8" in diameter, at $1.66 each. They are just a little larger than the originals, but they work just fine. There are also the same item in a slightly smaller size, 3/8" x 3/8", with the same thread, if you prefer. I didn't write down the part number, but you will see it on the web catalog page just above the part number I provided.

I found my own in a store for motocross equipment.
The center stand springs btw are not available by Ducati any longer.
