New Paso in the house!!!

jcslocum · **Posted:** Sat Sep 20, 2008 9:41 pm

I picked up the Paso that I bought from Dana in Indy today. Luckily the MotoGP was in Inday last week and I was supposed to go but we had a death in the family and my plans were changed. A buddy from DESMO (local NY club) picked the bike up and trailed it home to Long Island, where I drove 2.5 hours to this morning to pick it up.

It's a real beauty!!! The bodywork is off so I will be taking some photos of different parts to get some input. So far this is what I know:

MagnetiMarelli Digiplex Ignition
Dellorto Carbs
Magnesium Wheels made by TechnoMagnesio
Full Floating front Rotors
4 piston front calipers
New tires
Euro tail light
GiaCoMoto 2 into 1 exhaust or maybe Staintune? Pipes definately look like Staintune. Polished SS

I have yet to begin poking around under the skin tho. Wiring looks unmolested, oil hoses to coolers need to be replaced, rear brake needs to be sorted.

A nice winter project!!

Best wishes for your buy!
Sounds as she is a very nice bike (when will you show us some pic?), but above all the Tecnomagnesio wheels would be a real beauty...
3 or 5 spokes?
I could fall in love for a 5 spokes rims' set...
Ciao

I think you'll not have to work too much the next winter.
Great bike!
Ciao

They are 5 spokes and Dana also had the original wheels.

I'm wondering if the paint is original. I'll post pics later today.

I posted some pics of the Paso coming home:

Apparently Brembo made the front caliper brackets. I love the way the exhaust system wraps so smoothly around the oil filter.

Its a shame that Dana decided to sell it but the shameful antics of her local mechanic left her with little choice (don't know why she didn't see the police about it). I am sure this Paso has gone to the best place for its repairs.

Congrats on the new ride Jon! I'm sure I'll get to see it in the future. :thumbup:
