Hello,

New Paso owner here but not newbie ducati owner 🤣.

I just started full restoration on my bike and i already have some questions.

I dissasembled the bike. Frame is off to sand blasting. And now i started working on suspension. I dissasembled front fork and i think that i’m missing part circled on the photo. I’s missing in the leg with rebound adjustmend. Am i correct? If so does anybody have this part for sale or at least fork dissasembled so that can take some measurements.

The Marzocchi M1R manual shows a "ferrule" for each spring, suggesting someone's been in there before ...

The parts catalogs are not 100% reliable. It's possible that early M1R forks had that "ferrule" in both legs and later didn't. If you look at the 906 parts catalog (which was probably printed some time after the one of the P750), it shows that part only in the left fork leg. If that Öhlins is originally from your Paso it's an early one in which case by my own theory the fork should have those pieces on both sides.
But as Murphus said someone else may have rebuilt the forks in the past and forgot to put it back in. Or the factory did or it's not the original fork anymore.
What's the stanchion tube length?

Looks like there is no spacer in one leg. I managed to get another forks and also therre was no spacer.

New day new problem. When i took clutch apart i didn't noticed marking (dot) on clutch drum. I checked manual andiit doesnt mention marking on drum anywhere and pressure plate has marking 1 2 180* degrees apart. any specific way to align it?

Is there any good supplyer of stickers/decals for fairings? I need all the stickers on the fairings. As close to original as possible.

Promished photo.

I rebuild everything except engine. (it has a bit more than 20k on the clocks i removed side covers and everything looks really good inside i also checked cylinders and they look brand new inside i did adjusted the valves new belts, and pulley bearings.)

Currently waiting for wheels send them for fresh diamond cut. Now i have to start working on fairings. Still searching for recomendation where to get stickers. also does anybody know where theese two bolts came from? can't remember from where i removed them.

Those two bolts don't look like anything from a Paso. Did you remove the two bolts from the lower triple clamp, maybe. The ones that adjust how far the fork can be turned to left or right?

On mine there are. I always thought those were original but maybe one of the past owners drilled the holes and fitted adjustment bolts.
Could it be the bolts to mount the brake line splitter in front of the lower triple clamp?

Well I was going to agree with G about being non paso , but I got a feeling I have seen them before ......and I have a Paso in bits so .... coincidence ?
Maybe from around headlight mounting subframe area , buffers ?
