Interesting looking Paso!. Are the front air panels homemade or did you graft on some dirtbike panels? I bet it would look pretty good if you were to mate a Monster seat with solo cowling onto the subframe.

It's quite a work, piero! :eek:
Hope you'll enjoy it! :thumbup:
What about riding with bar risers?
I've seen the same done on a yamaha r1 and the owner says it's a very easy handling...
E' davvero un gran lavoro, Piero! Spero tu te la goda!
Come è guidare con il manubrio intero anzichè con i tronchetti?
Ho visto una cosa del genere su una r1 e il proprietario dice che è molto più maneggevole...

Effetivamente è molto più maneggevole e sopratutto più leggera nei repentini cambi di direzione per no parlare poi della comdità di stare più dritti con la schiena... :cool:
anche se ho preso un manubrio il più dritto possibile per sentire bene la ruota davanti....
a proposito penso di sostituire le michelin con delle dunlop o altre 130/70/16...

In fact it's more light and the handling increase especially in strict turning and you stay in line with your back :cool:
but i choose a straight bar to feel good front tyre...
i think i'm going to change this from the michelin to a dunlop or others 130/70/16

A proposito di gomme, su ebay c'è un treno di Michelin nuove.
Il manubrio alto potrebbe essere interessante e proprio qualche giorno fa c'era in asta una piastra di forcella artigianale con risers e manubrio dritto x Paso.
Sono stato tentato, il prezzo finale mi sa che non è arrivato neanche a 40 €., ma secondo me il manubrio dritto con la carena sta veramente male.
Eppoi il Paso non è davvero una moto spaccaschiena.
A questo punto uno si prende un bel Monster e la finisce lì :D !!

About the tires, on eBay there is a couple of new Michelin.
The hight handlebar could be interesting, and some days ago there was on auction a fork clamp with the risers and an straight handlebar.
I was tempted, the final price was less than €. 40, but then I thought that the straight, hight handlebar doesn't agree with a fairing bike.
Finally, the Paso doesn't a backbreaking bike.
So, it would be better buy a good Monster :D !

Ciao

I never had much problem with the seating position on the paso. Knees only bothered me in extreme cold of extended riding...(road trips). I do think you have created a more user friendly bar position. As carple tunnel problems set in the paso's bars bothered me and required adjustments inarm position to allow time in the saddle.

I just hope you didn't do away with a perfectly good paso in this project. It is a departure from the paso but I like it and give you credit for the ingeniuty. I am pleased to see you came up with a good way to blend the tank. I would llike to see a head on shot. Is that possible?

Don't mind me, I am on a bourbon excursion.
