Hi everyone, Here are some shots of the assembly and the completed bike. This was a complete tear-down right to the crankshaft. My Paso had low miles but suffered from neglect (and weather) in the hands of the previous owner. I may write a full description of the issues and what was done if anyone is interested - let me know. There are more photos in my album here: http://s892.photobucket.com/albums/ac13 ... 1%20907ie/ The re-assembled engine: Beginning re-assembly: Almost done: Ready for testing: Back on the road: |

What color of gold did you use on the valve covers? I had mine rebuilt about a year ago by Ducshop in Atlanta. Balanced and blueprinted, new valve gears, new bearings, crank polished, heads flowed (what little they had to do) , valves, guides, the works. Pulls really hard now and the starter has problems turning the motor over. du907 |

I'm always amazed when I see someone who his wife allows to rebuild the bike in to the living room. Very nice work, however  .Ciao

Thanks for the good words everyone! du907: The gold I used on the valve covers is just local hardware store metalic paint - nothing special. persempre907: Good eye mate! I didn't completely rebuild it in the dining room. Most of the work was done in the basement over the winter. I did the assembly of the cleaned and restored components in the dining room over a week or two of evenings. Everything was clean and ready to go before I started assembly. The wife is a good sport even if she would rather see me sell the bikes. There were two Ducatis in the dining room when she met me 12 years ago - a Pantah 600 and my 750 GT. I will add more details when I get time. Thanks, Lloyd |

Lloyd, despite the fact it seems you`re missing one center stand spring, where did you find the reflectors for the fork ? The missing rubber cover for the swingarm axle is the same as the one on the upper triple tree btw. Very nice, clean bike. G. |
