Hello Paso fans, sorry for butting in and forgetting to introduce myself, my name is Duncan and i live in Hollland (i am english) have owned my baby for 10 years she is a 91 model with all the faults but when she's good she's oh so good. Mods so far include semi floating front discs and hyper pro springs(these i recommend to everyone)

Welcome! :thumbup:

I have read/thinked/searched/done many thing with replacements of 16" Michelis and seems, that Avons are just now best choise! go for that, if Your tires are out ..... I have still good Michelisn in my 750 Paso and i use it only few days/ summer, so it takes still tyime to me to think, what i am going to do with tires....

"Real bike in sea of shit" .... :mrgreen: As You are guy from U.K, U have get that "slogan" from one U.K guy, who was selling such decals few years ago.... I get such decails and i have them in my all bikes..... :lol: :lol: :lol: Fits well... :mrgreen:

Tell us more about front fork springs... :thumbup: Price? Available from where? ,etc...

Hello finland, no I am not the guy who thought the slogan, I just use it because it sums up the situation for more info about front and rear springs, www.oitracon.fi tel +3582822378, I can not find the price i payed 3 years ago was not alot but does make a real difference qua handeling. Duncatl.

Just bought Hyperpro spring kit to my 907 from my local dealer.
Expensive, like 180 Eu, so I sure hope they are good!

wow, I paid less than that for a new set of Hyperpro progressive fork springs + the matching rear shock spring, but that was a few years ago.

This shop is known to be expensive but I feel I have to buy some stuff locally,
otherwise there wont be any Ducati shop here soon.
You could buy cheaper somewhere in EU, I`m sure.
