Hi all,
I need to replace the shock absorber on my 1992 907ie.
Anyone got any recommendations/lessons learnt he/she wants to share?
The best price I got so far is 450 euro + approx 50 euro of labour.
Thanks,
ltbauzo.

I have just got some spares off this chap on ebay, the bike he parted seems to of been well looked after

Do you really need a new set up? I don't know the guy personally apart from the bits I collected.
I have not seen or handled this item but if it is in the same condition as my other bits then you won't go far wrong and it is a lot less euro out of your pocket than a new one.
I know he only shows UK post if there is a problem let me know and I will sort this end and post on.
maybe worth a thought.

I had mine rebuilt by a factory authorized dealer in California for around $100 US if I remember right. If you need the address, let me know and I will go see if I can dig up the information.
Battery acid had ruined the plastic dial on the bottom and they replaced it as well as rebuilt the unit. I was satisfied with their work.

Welcome on the forum.
Are you really sure you need a new shock?
Probably, you could have your one rebuilt cheaply.
I bought the Marzocchi's overhauling kit from a german seller on eBay, but I guess it could be still available at the Ducati dealers.
Besides, I guess a good specialized technician could rebuild it without that kit, too.
P.S. I'm going to move soon to Piacenza or Cremona, so I'll happy to know another Pasochist

Ciao

No matter!
A paso owner requires at least:
1) a wife,
2) an extra lover,
3) a girlfriend for weekend

Very interesting point!
I wonder if I'll be able to "manage" all those women.
I often have some problem with the only one I have (wife)...
