Re: Ducati 750 Sport
The other thing I'm pondering is converting to 17" wheels to allow better tyres. This also seems to be reasonably straightforward - but that's a way in the future. I'll get the thing running first. The Paso 907ie used 17" wheels with very good results, but I think Ducati tweaked its steer...

Re: Ducati 750 Sport
The Weber carburetor can be set up fine, but a set of Mikuni flat slides is nicer. There is a trick with the voltage regular—I seem to recall it needs to be rewired with better wires to work properly. There used to be a Ducati Paso and Sport website with details about it. It has been many years sinc...

Re: Top speed on a Strada?
70mph on a Morini is equivalent to 90mph because it is a Moto Morini.
The difference is imagination.
And probably carburetor tuning.

Re: Headlight or indicators but not both
The first thing I would look at is the battery. One must install the correct 15amp one for everything to work properly. I learned this the hard way similar to you. :? One easy thing to do: Replace the turn signal relay. They are inexpensive and should be easily obtained. The only other thing I can t...

Re: Elektronik Sachse Ignition group buy
I am interested—assuming Sachse will still ship to the USA. I don't see why not. They are quoting 56 euros ( $66 ) for 14 day delivery. Recent shipments to Amurkey have been inconsistent, especially from Germany. For example, it has been three weeks since my parcel from A.C. Schnitzer was handed ov...

Re: Installing Rear Sets on a 1979 500W
A partial fix for the kickstart lever clouting the Tarozzi brake lever is to shorten the peg on the brake lever. Mine is down to perhaps 10mm (two ribs' width on the Tarozzi rubber cover) and my NLM kickstart lever clears it. I had it slightly wider before, but the brake lever eventually broke at th...

Re: Labyrinth wanted for 350 Kangaro
FYI I seem to recall reading many years ago that use of the labyrinth was to provide a small amount of intentional back pressure for the crankcase—along with obvious protection against water ingress. Feel free to contradict me.

VHBZ 25 BS Body
Hello-
Does anyone have the body (or a complete carburetor if you wish) for a VHBZ 25 BS that I can purchase? The threads to the main jet/float bowl nut on one of mine stripped today.
Thanks!
Daniel

Re: Debating about a K2 for sale in the USA.
You probably would be better off waiting until a nicer K2 shows up. This example appears to be mostly okay, but it also reeks of many small instances of neglect. A more expensive but nicer K2 will be less expensive (and aggravating) in the long run. If you could get it for $2500, then it might be wo...
