I think, they DONT fit, cause 906 have totally different cases and its water cooleed and 750 is air cooleed. I havent try, but i think, its impossible to fit them to 750 cases.

Karl, Better You forget now that modification :eek: I asked from two differend Ducati specialists this and they both say, that too big job, cause: 750 Paso cases have smaler diameter circle, where are those head studs (!!!!)= DONT fit to 900 sylinders, sorry :thumbdown: Also 750 Paso have 18mm hole/bearing in rods, 900 have 18mm hole/bearing and 851 have 20mm hole/bearing, so You have to machine also that and also many problems with piston lower part fittment to cylinder/cases ! Much more cheaper to You, to find 900SS hole engine,or new heads to 750 Paso.... Wondering, why U try so difficult way? :confused: They say, that Monster 750 engine(newer, than Paso cases) is little easier, but only little. Also You can have problems in 750 Paso frame, is there enough space for 900SS heads??? Wondering still very much that Your job :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thank you very much. Always when I think something I go ahead till when somebady explains how you have done. Because I never want to accepy "no", "not possible" and so on only said and not explained. With your expression obviously I will not do something like these great works.
Eventually you know how easy it is to change parts from one Moto Guzzi model to another, always speaking about models before '90-'92.
