This morning i wrote to ORAM SOSPENSIONI to have some more info about rear shock absorber.... i'm waiting some answer.
Anyway.....
i'm looking also to find this part:

but they are very rare and expensive!!! i've found on ebay (probably in England or Netherland) and they costs 22€ each one!!!! i need 4 pcs, so i must pay almost 100€ for 4 pieces of rubber!!!!



this is how look now the electric panel.... i've change some wire and new connector....
Now i would like change also the oil pressure sensor and oil temperature bulb.... Moreover i have order a new horn, because the old owner install this two big trumpets with some kind of improvised connection!!!!


I've found new original horn at 9.99€!

here they are cheaper: (the question always is about the actual stock)

Hi Paso750, thanks for your answer....
About the plate i prepare it with primer and then black paint for high temperature.... i don't know how long the paint resist, but for the moment is the fast solution to improve the appearance of the electrical panel! for sure anodization is the best way to have a long/final solution.
All the connections with the grownd was cleaned to have a good contact, so from this point of view I am sure that the connections are efficient.

The idea to install the Showa removed from my 999 it's only because I have the shock absorber available at no cost .... moreover I have the possibility to build some type of adapter to install it (working for a company that builds industrial machinery, I have material and machinery available to build anything)..... i don't know, i will try.... if the final result or the necessary work does not satisfy me, I will buy a new shock absorber.

Finally, the dashboard....
after reading your topic about the led's installation, I'm going to do a job, I hope very good, like yours...

And sorry about my question, but someone in this forum ride his Paso on track!?
My idea when i will finish to restore my Paso is to ride it during days of free practice on the track for historic motorcycles...

like this man!!

Hey Marco,

I personally wouldn't anodise the electric base plate since the anodised layer is non conducting and since it used also as a mass ….

Have you asked "Rudi" from DUC-ONLY-Parts: rudyberends@kpnplanet.nl?
He is a well known used parts supplier for "older" Ducatis (and used on a regular base by several of this forum) and I would assume he has still some of these rubbers for little money.
Just in case the other suppliers can't supply, what sometimes happens, or for future parts.

Regarding my beginning question about the installation of 999 Showa shock absorber i have bad news.....
As Paso750 and Frank.61 said, the wheelbase of Paso shock absorber is to long respect 999....

Paso: 367mm
999: 300mm



so i think it's no possible swap the units.... sin, I hoped.....
Anyway..... next focus is buy the new shock....
I'm still waiting answer from ORAM, then i will decide if buy ORAM or Bitubo shock..... in Italy Bitubo is a very popular brand that make excelent product..... will see...

Marco,

Hi folks!
Someone can show me the connector for oil temperature sensor mounted on oil Y connections between the two radiators?
