The ILOC 50th anniversary book is a great read - lots of info from owners experience - with great pics
Plan to come to the New Inn Willersey nr Broadway Worcs on the 3rd August for the 50th Jota celebration - should be 250 plus Laverdas there and many people who are part of the Laverda story in UK

Jean-louis Olive's 'Legendary Laverda', if you can find an English Language version for reasonable money.

The first book I read was the workshop manual.
A little dry perhaps, but certainly recommended

You could simply try the ones on it now. if the forks end up too short and steep, it's not difficult to make new alu fork caps that extend them enough to allow top fitment of the clipons. But might just be easier to fit original Brevettatos.

"later RGS models employed this system."
beware that the RGS series had longer forks than the 180'S. dropping the legs through on a 180 and fitting clip ons above the top yolk would cause the front wheel/mudguard to clash with the exhaust front pipes. unless you stop by only using the rear brake (wincing in horour) but I have a mate who has done that for 40+ years, still scares me.

'System' as in the concept of clipons above top clamps.
I suspected as much, Clem, which is why I mentioned the longer fork cap idea. I've made them up for 35 Ceris, 38 Ceris, 38 Marzos, 41mm Honda VFR forks, early 41mm GSX-R forks and OW01 forks (very complicated, with rebound damping and preload built into the caps).
It's available cheap in French.
