Higgy,

thanks for the offer....Actually we're going to "repair" the body work, molds have been made and new panels will soon be produced.The plan is make Carbon-fiber body work :twisted:

The big thing will be the tank, any leads on where i could find one OR will a Caviga of the same vintage fit?

Thanks

you can use a tank from a Paso 750 or a 906. The one of the 907 is a bit differet although it looks the same

There is 2 different type of 907 tanks also, as some have that "water feed" to down, some dont have it.... its connected with different fuel caps... :smoke:

I have a blue 906 tank. Some paint missing around the bolt tabs, but no dents, paint other than a couple the tabs I mentioned is perfect. It still has masking tape around the tubes. I hoped to us it for my 907 but it dose not look like it will work. I also have a blue upper and fender, I believe these are the part someone else mentioned.

***UPDATE***

So I'm now in Africa with the US Navy to bring everyone up to speed:

The insurance totaled out the bike, I bought the bike back. Now with the insurance money a smart man would have walked away.......

not me.....

The bike is currently in the able hands of the folks at Modern Classics ( http://modernclassicsdc.com/ )

And they are doing something kinky to the bike :twisted:

As far as I know (please remember me in Africa, them in Washington,DC) the original gauges are gone replaced with LED clocks, i have no clue what colors this will be.

I am helping out by:
1. watching EBAY when I can
2. staying as far away from the bike as i can

As i get info and pics I'll try to post them.

I would assume that the Paso fairings are the same production process as the Sport's. If that is the case, then they are what they call SMC, or Sheet Molding Compound. Its like a pre-preg fiberglass sheet. It has all the resin and layers in a thick blanket that its loaded into a hot press for about 6-10 minutes until it is cured. So, basically its like fiberglass, and the same repair strategy.

Cheers,
