Just a heads up if you are considering buying the gear shift cover, there are at least 3 different Laverda gearshift covers and they are not interchangeable. HTH
Cheers, how do you spot the difference? Seems to be no part numbers on them?

Hi Russ, I am happy to send you one for your 3CL. Ciao, Gert
If you have spare - let me know the price

Yes, no part numbers on them and though they all look alike there are subtle but significant differences that can prevent changes from one model to another
On a 750 SF3 or an alloy wheel 3C
If you try to convert a left foot shift set up back to the proper right foot shift you will find the gear shift cover is different around where the gear shift lever fits onto the spline shaft of the gear selector mechanism. You have to use the appropriate cover. You also have to change the gear shifter mechanism because the left foot setup has a shorter spline shaft on the mechanism than the right one.
Right foot shift set-up
Selector cover 58 110 101, Gear shift assembly 40 117 080
Left foot shift set-up
selector cover 58 110 106 Gear shift assembly 40 122 112 and of course different shift lever and a multitude of other bits specific to the right-to-left conversion.
The gear shift assembly is different on the 750 than the triple and they too are not interchangeable for left-foot to right-foot conversion
The protrusion of the alloy on the shift cover plate varies in length (where the shift lever fits onto the shift spline) on some early 750 models when compared to later 750 and early triples. At first glance, they may look the same but they are not. HTH
Have an original RH shift set-up on my 1000 3CL, I read somewhere before that if the splined shaft is shorter a cover with a shorter hub is needed to match. So were there only 2 types of cover fitted to the 1000 3CL dependant on whether it's fitted with an LH or RH shift?

I believe that to be true, I have a Jota with the right foot shift set up and a 1200 with the left foot set up. I didn't spot the difference initially but once you see it, there it is. In the photo the one on the left is for the right foot shift conversion.

I ,bought a NOS shift cover from the US about 10 years ago - when I fitted it to the SFQ it clearly as per Dave's left pic - I just manufactured a spacer for it. Won't work going the other way (R to L shift) obviously.

and the shaft going through that short stub is a square end, with a 6mm thread tapped in its centre, to bolt the external lever on, the long stub has the spline protruding and the external lever for that uses a pinch bolt. Most rear set configerations use the spline type and a shortened lever, but (IMMSMW) the ORIGINAL and first rear set kits had the short stub. Not just the cross over linkeage types, looks much neater that the spline and is chromed steel, so less likley to fracture than a cast alloy item
