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:

Back on the road:

In the words of CJ
Eh,what have we got here,bit of a ducati,flash motor,shiney exhaust making the noise
My friends that is a very nice bike...................
well done!

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.

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

Hey great job Lloyd! Love the pipes.

Very nice to see another 907 in Toronto! Maybe it's time to start a Paso chapter.

Planning to attend the Duc rally at Mosport, May 29/30?

I think I'll bring mine

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.

Sam , boats are different. You will only ever have 2 happy days on your boat . The day you buy it and the day you sell it
