Introduction--new Laverda owner and forum member...warning; long first post

I need to cut down on Elephant consumption, its become habit-forming. I was thinking about your Altas last night, there used to be an Altlas Forum a while back with an excellent list of recommended mods but it seems to have disappeared. How is your going, I see there are new mufflers available now. It an enviable bike to own that one. I did hear there might be one for sale in NZ from a bloke who owns a bunch of Laverdas and is trimming his holdings.

Atlas forum is still going, though not too many posts of late - full of good information and mods, as you said.


I got a new exhaust system for it from Malcolm  - top quality reproduction as we have come to expect from Cox Engineering.  Not running yet - need to fit new starter motor and fix rear brake light switch.  I have rebuilt all master cylinders and calipers and fitted a new ignition switch.  Need to buy some more parts through Piet still, but my money tree died about a year or so ago.  Probably have enough spares to build another one, but the engine is in the Barcelona.  I have a KTM LC4 engine that looks as though it would perhaps fit in, Vince.  In the end, it is mainly a lack of self confidence holding me back from having both the SFs and the Atlas back on the road, as I have just about everything I need parts-wise - all the tools, none of the brains...


If only I was a mechanic ....
