hi Jeff, perhaps you can put your locality up and maibe give this guy a plug, for other 16incher paso owners in your area to use his professional services...that is, if youre happy with the job

hi all just got off the phone from our local ducati guru. He will do my tyres with an Avon vp2 130/70 and avon cobra 180/60 rear. He will raise the front guard and lightly shave the side wall of the rear to fit. Has done quite a few with this combo and no change to sprockets/chain is required with all punters happy. I wll not be riding this bike heavily so max cornering is not an issue. A relief to know that I can fit new tyres without any dramas and just enjoy the ride. cheers jeff |

Hi Jeff I know this will sound daft but after years of riding shaft drive Beemers am not very up on chains. What is a half link? And did u have to increase size of rear sprocket? I bought a 750 Paso last week that needs new tyres before I will ride it again. Rode it 295 miles home from Wales, fine on motorway, dreadful on corners. Felt slippy, tippy and really ungrippy all at the same time... Yet I loved the ride. Bike wasnt too uncomfortable, sounded great and even provoked conversations with strangers at service stations. :-) Graeme |

a half link is the generally accepted method of adding length to any chain |

Thanks uzikook for that info. I will query that with him when i get the tyres done. Im glad to hear that it is a good working combo though, and will even improve handling. Cheers Poo Bah for soughting the half link query. cheers all jeff |
