Re: PROJECT SUCATI !!!!!!!!!!!!! ??????????????????????

Hi Anton you are doing almost exactly what I intend to do with my sport. I've never really liked the standard fairing and seat look. I've always been worried that the tank would look dated with a "newer" style fairing but from your pics actually looks ok. I must say though that i preferred...

brake pads - sport vs paso?

Hi Guys on a lot of the aftermarket brake pad manufacturer websites catologues list the 750 & 900 paso pads but seem to mix up 750 sport & 750 ss models and dates. One will tell you the sport was made right up to 2001! I don't know anyone with a paso. How common are brakes on the paso vs 750...

Re: 750 sport problem

Hey Joe
please keep us posted as to what you find.
Also, as you have done a fair bit to your bike, can you take some pictures? I'd really like to see how you have done the mods, carbs, brakes etc.
Cheers
Clive

Front Forks internal details?

Hi Guys for those of you that have stripped these (odd, rare, strange, different - however you might want to view them!!) M1BB Marzocchi forks you will know by now that the internals are different to each other. I have rebuilt a fair number of forks and have nver seen this before. Suposedly one give...

Re: Closing rocker arm installtion

Thanks Gert
Yep worked out good, I've been busy rebuilding the front end (steering, front shocks - see new post and front wheel) so only got back to the motor last night. I created a rocker arm removal tool very similar to yours and the dummy arm. Thanks for your help mate.

Closing rocker arm installtion

Hi Guys, who has refitted the closing rocker arm (the one that is spring loaded) back into the head? If anyone has let me know how you did it. Manual calls up a special tool but I can not find it any where here (New Zealand) or anywhere on the net. You have to some how place the rocker in the head u...

Re: New Member - complete rebuild of my '88 sport

The ali swingarm I know comes off a 900ss - as to the steel one that was on the bike I thought was an upgrade for the sport. It is really off a 750ss? There were no spaces between the arm and engine case. The dimension across mounting points is quite different - will measure tonight. I'm lucky that ...

Re: New Member

Hi Volker
have a look at my post there some pics of my sport - looks identical to yours. The pipes on it before I stripped it down were very loud (when i could get it to run!!) so they won't be going back on. If I return it to original I'd like to get some pipes made up like yours.

Re: New Member - complete rebuild of my '88 sport

Pictures of some parts http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt188/Mustang506/750002.jpg Someone else said on this site that the best thing about the sport is that it's about as close as we will get to a F1 frame. Here it is sandblasted, repowdercoated and ready! http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt18...

Re: New Member - complete rebuild of my '88 sport

Thats another detail which need more work than you might think. The Mikunis won´t fit in the frame without bigger works. Means cutting and welding of frame parts is necessary, there is a piece of the frame near steering head which need another place, I think also the battery plate is different in l...

Re: New Member

Hello Kurt
looking at your sport makes me wonder if i shoudn't rebuild mine back to original. It can look quite good. I see yours still has the original pipes? Does it have an aluminum swing arm, as our models suffered from cracking?

Re: New Member - complete rebuild of my '88 sport

So why not 17" wheels & a Showa fork while you´re at it? Problem is how much money you have to spend or want to spend on this model. Agree 17"s and modern USD forks would be great but you also need to add to that bigger tripple clamps and a nice set of modern discs and brake calipers a...
