I have the original link to this modification in the 907IE Tech section. Like I said, this eliminates one of the T-hoses, but there is still the junction on the left side to deal with.

Getting back to the original question, the 851 and most other Duc radiators have their inlet and outlet on the left side, the Paso inlet is on the right so the upper hose with the T in it won't work. The 4 hose junction on the Paso is available, but the thermostat is not. The closest bypass style thermosat available is the 996/ST2/ST4 model with the top outlet in the opposite direction. To mount it would require changing it's orientation to be like the 996 and to use the junction block from a 996. The hoses to the upper radiator and water pump would need to be customized. Let me know if anyone has other suggestions. My thermosat was leaking, but rather than changing the set-up now that riding season is here, I opted to repair it. I cut the metal band with a dremel tool and removed it, separated the thermostat housing enough to silicon the joint, and put the band and a clamp back on it.

I will have a look at a few car type hose links later to see if there are any that fit.

The radiator and water pump connections are 1" or 25 mm. The smaller hose fittings to the heads measure .835", so the hose needs to be 19 mm I think? Not exactly automotive sizes. Got any links to recreational vehicle hose catalogs?

Some KTM hoses look like they might fit the paso.

As for the thermostat, I used an aprillia 1000 thermostat with a cut down 90 degree silicone hose and a link pipe.
