The mirror-parts are unobtainable, exept the whole assembly.
Noone here in northern germany was able to supply these pulvinate mirror-glasses, that i could change them for myself.
On saturday i stumbled over a pair of mirrors by accident. 10€ each. The mirror-glass just one mil smaller in diameter than the original.

With the new zinc-plated bottom-screws for my M1R-fork (seemingly unobtainable screeewwwws...), i could start w. the assembly of the fork.
I needed some days before i found out, why the rebound was so slow. The short powerful spring in the right tube blocked a hole in the tube...

I painted the legs of the fork & changed every obtainable part, exept the tubes.

Hi all
I know you are rebuilding the 907 with the ST3 motor and hope all is going well with your project, I have a look every now and then to see hows it’s coming along. But has anybody tried to convert an ST3 (or ST 2,4) to a 907ie, that is fit fairings to look like a 907?

Is this possible without to many issues, it seems you would have the better running gear but the looks of the 907.

Why do you think you would have a better running gear? :-)

Visit me in Germany when the bike is ready. I think that one will be good enough for me...

Hi Joking
Would love to come to Germany again, I’ve been to Lubek a few times and enjoyed it a lot, back to the bike, seeing the ST bike is a later model one would think the overall package would be an improvement from the last model.

For me, I would take the 907 any day as I love the look of the bike and that means more then a few hp’s or better handling. That’s why I was asking if anybody has tried fitting body panels to the st2,3,or 4..

Maybe that would be an easier way to get a 907 looking bike (possible project for me) without the issue of getting parts for the 907 which is getting more difficult with each year.

I live 100km away from Lübeck, at the baltic sea, too.

I like the handling of the 907 very much, maybe because of my length & weight (2.12m & 110kg).
So the only option was the stronger motor. But the 4V-engines do not fit that well, the casing & tank have to be heavily modified.

Cross your fingers, i`ll try to finish the wiring harnesses today...

Looking forward to seeing the end product,

I have still an issue with the wiring of the forward brake-light-switch, but the whole rest of the harness works fine.

And i could not resist. I had to try.

JoKing,

Of course you had to try...and it works!!
Sounds just wonderful.

Cheers,

Fraser.

Thank you very much, guys. The next 2 weeks i will be off, preparing my impriso... ehm...wedding.
After that i will reopen the wiring harness to find the forward brake-switch issue. But then the final assembly can be started.

Congratulations to you and your wife to be.


Cheers, Keith.

Jo King,

Herzlichen Gluckwünsch für Ihrer Frau und Sie.
Schöne Hochzeit gewünscht aus Holland!!

Cheers Bertus
