I just received a pair of Panniers from Cor and I am wondering how the stock rear turn signals are modified to function with the Panniers mounted.
Prior to when I got my bike it had some type of aftermarket bags installed and the rear turn signals were modified Suzuki units. Currently I have the stock setup for these signals.
I would like to talk with some one that has Laverda Panniers and rear signals to see how they accomplished this feat.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. Also looking for a stock Parcel Rack for this bike Ser # 155517
thanks again  :)
 
I "ve just fitted the GT folding rack but had lugs fitted before chroming, as they didn t come with turn signals you will have to adapt to either a rack or run brackets off a rear fixing point.Luckily I do not desire those panniers! but well sourced  :D

Hello LJ,
Thanks for the reply.
Not many replies, yet. Maybe more will come out of the wood work. :D
My target is to have my bike outfitted with all of the factory accessories similar to the factory photo of the GT that is on the Entire-Net.
I had a loan of one Mirror stalk that I duplicated for a pair, the mirrors that mount on the Engine safety bars.
Next I need a rear parcel rack.
Thanks
Larry

 
I came out of the woodwork, and then thought better of bagging panniers.
Ha, that sounds funny, bagging...panniers. I'll leave it there, no point putting pannier lovers in a box ....... ha, I did it again 8)

A couple of days ago I finished installing a Parcel rack and Panniers on my GT.
I had the rack and pannier frame rechromed.
The panniers still need some stitching repaired, also I still need to make the strap to hold the rack in the closed position.
Anyone have images of an original strap??? In the next couple of days I will fabricate the rear turn signal mounts.KIMG1011.JPGKIMG1008.JPG
 
Very cool looking period piece. I've never seen those type of bags on a Laverda in North America. Hopefully this Covid crap abates soon and you can fill the bags with gear and hit the road for a good trip somewhere.
 
Here'i,I jsst sourced these small luggage straps off Ebay,do the job perefectly.

Still gotta locate/fabricate a leather strap for the Parcel rack. I am currently using a red double-sided Velcro strip.
Three weeks ago the bike was photgraphed for inclusion in the 2024 Motorcyle Calendar published by Paul Oxman.
