New 907IE owner

Hi

After much soul searching I recently got myself a 907 IE Paso and I have to say I love it!

Since buying it though it hasn't stopped raining and snowing (even in April) in North West UK!

I joined this forum some time ago so I am aware of some of the potential problems and joys of ownership and I will ask for help should I need it.

What I would like to know is what is the correct white for the wheels as mine are not standard (they are black for some reason) and although they are okay as they are I would like to restore them back to the original colour.

Oh and where can I get some mirrors !

Any other owner in NW UK please get in touch!

Bye for now

I hear you there, when I bought my first bike and my 907 it rained every day for about a week. It's quite a common occurance or so I hear. :sad: Ah well, what can you do. :laugh:

907 rims

are your rims stock 3 spoke brembos, or aftermarket? if they're stock brembos, they were re-painted. some owners painted the white brembos black because the white is very difficult to keep clean. if you can figure a way to strip the black paint, you'll find the original white paint underneath. touch up w/ white-out works well and is a good match.

There was a thread about mirrors a little while ago.

I think that all PASO mirrors are compatable with 907's.

Just so you know it's pretty wet in the South West of the UK too!

Welcome to our world....

Go to the Classified section - looks like progress is being made on the mirrors front!

They are standard 3 spoke brembos - just black, I'll check if they are re-painted.

Cheers

Wife said we should move to Kent where they have water shortages!
