Hi guys while i'm waiting my new cdi i'm thinking how i can make higher the back part of my bike i find she 's too "seat" "seduta" in italian ,do you know how i can do this i think is not so safe to put down teh clamps on the fork,i want to feel more the fron tyre......
i think there can exist some regulation on the mono but i don't understand so much of suspension

hi,

try a brembo 17 x 4,5 inch wheel. (better tyres also)

Hi Piero,
first, you can try turning down the eccentric cam of the swingarm.
For sure, you can't gain too much height, no matter it's a little improvement.

you 're right this is the correct link

It seems to me that item replaces the original suspension link.
So, it would raise the rear side of the bike.
I think a good craftsman could do the same thing for the Paso.
But, do you really need it?
The Paso was born with this distinctive low profile due to the 16" wheels.

Why would you do this, seems to more of a fashion statement than of any practical value.

As i say before i want to feel more the front tyre and in the future i need spaces to make a 17 tyre on rear and hig exhaust..............not for fashion ;
my duke is ever so full of fashion

I don't know if this is the best way. Perhaps, you could get the same result lowering the front side (sfilando gli steli di forcella).
It's true, the 750's feeling is a little bit hard because the front tyre is too much large.
But, as you can see, many people here has fitted the 17" wheels, both on the original swingarm and fitting the 907's one, so getting a better feeling and also a better chance to replace the tyres.
No matter, you always can mount the high exhaust even if you will lose the rear seater... if your fiancée (or your wife) allows it! :funny:

I'm too young for a wife or for a person that says to me what i have to do...i think my girl friend may have a surprise.....very high foot hanger!!!!!!!

i hope she don't read this post :funny: :funny:

The Paso has tricky handling already and the suspension can be tuned to be pretty good using the tire pressures. Be careful when rasing the rear too much as it might give you some stability problems.

Remenber it is a 20 year old design with 16" tires. It will never feel like a new Duc. Never, ever.....

infact raising tire pressure slightly, will help quite a bit.
In addition to that tires should not be too old, same for fork oil.
Somehow I always have the feeling, seeing so many Pasos being sold, specially on ebay, that a lot of them roll on year old tires and numerous forks have never seen a rebuild or an oil change.
Not long ago I saw a Paso for sale with original Pirelli MP7s. I guess you`d have to beware of splinters when removing those.

Depending on body weight progressive fork springs also make a nice feel.

Have you actually ridden your Paso very much? One of the characateristics of this bike is the steep front fork and willingness to turn easily (unless you grab some front brake).
Jon Slocum's right, the handling's tricky enough as it is...but then perhaps yer machine's been modified?
