after I've been here in the forum as a passive member for some years, I want to introduce myself and my 1991's Paso 907 to you today.
I began my “Ducati-career” in 1985 at the age of 19 with a 1984 500 Pantah. This was followed by a 1979 MHR 900 of the first series, two 900SS belt-drive (1993's one (accident) and 1995s) and a 1977 860GTS, until I bought in 2005 the “thick-one”, how I jokingly call my 907. At this time she was almost original, had 32000km on the clock, was equipped with F1 exhaust pipes and the rims were painted black, but without removing the tire or even the weights before... The paint set was overall still in good condition.
In the past 5 years I've had only a few problems with her, a faulty water temperature sensor was the biggest problem (because it was so difficult to figure out)
And after I screwed a lot of other Ducatis the last five years, which were all not long in my possession, (a sports Desmo 500, an ST4 and a 888), this past winter I finally decided to take more care of my Paso.
The 907 is now the only bike that remained. All others have, more or less reluctantly, been sold. As you see, I've chosen the right bike ...
My idea was to let her get a few new looks and technical service. I have long considered whether I paint the rims back in black (insensitive, but not very chic) or in the original white (which does not take long for good, right?), or maybe the Gold paint from later Supersports? But I've decided a compromise. What also always bothered me, was the cockpit design, with its graph paper look, typical 1980th, but I always found that the white of the later-Veglia instruments is a lot nicer. Together with the wheels I also let re-painting the triple clamps, the passenger grab handle, the chain wheel and the cockpit cover (the one under the instruments).
The spring elements have been adjusted in spring rate and damping to my favorite solo trips, and my weight, the fork got cartridge inserts that can be adjusted in rebound and compression and spring tension. Not absolutely necessary, but nice if you have it.
Next winter I want to clean the injectors, possibly even check the regulator and then tune the bike on the dyno..
As I've thought about a completely new fairing with quick adjuster, has anyone experience with the products of Airtech?
If all works right, you will find a few pictures below showing the bike how it looks today. I look forward to your comments and opinions and hope you all have a nice season!

.... and use a hydraulic preload for the rear [Wilbers] when touring to adjust for extra weight.
the Suspension- overhaul was nearly 1000€, but thats less than buying new Forks and Rear-Shock and: it is still an Italian bike with Italian Suspension, no Showa, no WP :-) and the refreshed parts are
