750 GT colours?

Paul, what should they be? I sent a pic to Wolfgang looking for original and he said they look like Fiamm, you're fine?

... I would not worry about the horns, but about the front wheel - it is never from 1969 but from 1970/71.
Ciao, Gert

Yes, thanks Gert. I was aware and actually quite happy about that. Much better brakes than the Grimeca, or so I've been told by several who've used both.

Funnily enough I was thinking about it as an upgrade as it would be Grimeca front and back on a '69 bike so the fact this had an early Laverda front was a bonus. I will however be putting gaiters on the forks and giving them an overhaul.

Perhaps the earlier Pancake style horn as per pic :-

Yours are Fiamms apparently. They work very well.
If you want originality, it was a round horn.

Made by Bosch, with aluminium rivets. But mentioning that is a crime here.  (bolt)

Thanks. I'll check out the link Shaun posted. I do want original as much as possible with the exception of a few upgrades, for example the Laverda front brake. By the way, looking at my post I've no idea what I meant by "you're fine?" I must have been trying to type something else or accidentally deleted a few words!
