This is the first time I am attempting to post a photo following the inst. from this site, if it works, here she is.

The 17" wheels are from a '85 to ''89 Suzuki GSXR. Man, I can't wait for spring!

sweet!
i like the colors that way

Nice, I also like the colours!

do you have a drawing of the adapter plate that holds the rod (that is connected to the rear brake) on the engine ?

G.

It looks like spring in those pics. Get out and RIDE!!!

The rear brake stay looks to be from a 900SS. A few models had them, like the Superlight. It attaches to the cases and the carrier has a bearing in it to float. Less chatter when braking hard into a bumpy corner. You can find them on E-bay from time to time, but they are a bit rare, and fetch a good price. You need to switch to 17" wheels to do this. If you make this switch, you will find out that bleeding air out is very difficult, as the fitting is on the bottom of the caliper. You have to take the caliper off to bleed it completely.

Nice bike by the way. Lovely paint. the white wheels really look good.

Cheers,

I don't know where or what the rear brake arm is, as bike came with it and "17 wheels from '85 to '89 Suzuki GSXR 1100. Hey, ducinthebay, when are you coming up to ride the best mountain passes here in Markleeville? (closed in winter, absosutely the finest pavement and scenery).I've never seen another Paso in real life.

wup

Hey wup, I'm interested. Where exactly are you talking about? I'm located in Bakersfield (120 miles north of LA).

I know, but the front mounting adapter at the engine doesn`t fit on the Paso as the connection rod touches the swingarm so that has to be replaced by a custom one.

You need to switch to 17" wheels to do this.

no you don`t but I agree that it doesn`t make sense with the original 16" rims as the brake disc is too big

If you make this switch, you will find out that bleeding air out is very difficult, as the fitting is on the bottom of the caliper.

also not an issue as there are other calipers that have the bleeding screw on top.

Ahh, the wisdom of masses. What did we do before the internet? Thanks for the insight.

WUP, I would love to come ride some of your lovely hills and roads. I have ridden that area before, and it is truly sublime. However, I will probably ride the ST4s out there, as I have 2-3 hours just to get to you, and that is just too long of a day on the 750 Sport.

Cheers,

At least i did quite similar things, like played with Ducatis and drink alcohol..... no need to mention anything about girls.... Ok, honestly; this "internet time" is horrible, cause not so much time to play with Ducatis, alcohol and girls!

I guess this "Internet time" is not responsible if you haven't the time to play with Ducati, alcohol and girls ...
Ciao

I need forks, please more info on your front end.

The forks are also suzuki gsxr but the handlebars are ducati. I will post some detailed photos of everything when I get my bike out of friend's garage. Weather is finally getting better.

Best, Joe
