Both mirrors were broken.
The mirror-parts are unobtainable, exept the whole assembly.
Noone here in northern germany was able to supply these pulvinate mirror-glasses, that i could change them for myself.
On saturday i stumbled over a pair of mirrors by accident. 10€ each. The mirror-glass just one mil smaller in diameter than the original.
I swapped them today...

With the new zinc-plated bottom-screws for my M1R-fork (seemingly unobtainable screeewwwws...), i could start w. the assembly of the fork.
I needed some days before i found out, why the rebound was so slow. The short powerful spring in the right tube blocked a hole in the tube...
I painted the legs of the fork & changed every obtainable part, exept the tubes.
More pics follow the next days.

Hi all
I know you are rebuilding the 907 with the ST3 motor and hope all is going well with your project, I have a look every now and then to see hows it’s coming along. But has anybody tried to convert an ST3 (or ST 2,4) to a 907ie, that is fit fairings to look like a 907?
Is this possible without to many issues, it seems you would have the better running gear but the looks of the 907.

Why do you think you would have a better running gear? :-)
Visit me in Germany when the bike is ready. I think that one will be good enough for me...

Hi Joking
Would love to come to Germany again, I’ve been to Lubek a few times and enjoyed it a lot, back to the bike, seeing the ST bike is a later model one would think the overall package would be an improvement from the last model.
For me, I would take the 907 any day as I love the look of the bike and that means more then a few hp’s or better handling. That’s why I was asking if anybody has tried fitting body panels to the st2,3,or 4..
Maybe that would be an easier way to get a 907 looking bike (possible project for me) without the issue of getting parts for the 907 which is getting more difficult with each year.

I live 100km away from Lübeck, at the baltic sea, too.
I like the handling of the 907 very much, maybe because of my length & weight (2.12m & 110kg).
So the only option was the stronger motor. But the 4V-engines do not fit that well, the casing & tank have to be heavily modified.
Cross your fingers, i`ll try to finish the wiring harnesses today...

I have still an issue with the wiring of the forward brake-light-switch, but the whole rest of the harness works fine.
And i could not resist. I had to try.

Thank you very much, guys. The next 2 weeks i will be off, preparing my impriso... ehm...wedding.
After that i will reopen the wiring harness to find the forward brake-switch issue. But then the final assembly can be started.
