Laverda 750 SFC 1974 replica

Problem is that i don't know for any dyno near me i knew for one dyno but guy has a lot of experiences with  new bikes but he never worked on carburetors.

Only thing missing for my project is engine :D. I have to pick up lighten crankshaft with new bearings and connecting rods, and engine housing from machine shop. Than i can start assembling  lower part of the engine. And than i have to get some money for cylinders and head work + i need pistons, camshaft, valves, exhaust system,..  So as always all come down to money :D .  I will start painting fairings probably next weekend.

I have question about decals. I'm looking pictures that are on internet about sfc 1974 but i don't know what is correct.

My point of reference is one of the last SFCs produced (now living in the USA).
The owner mentioned to me that a handful of the last ones had white lettering on the tank.

I understand better: all the SFCs with white lettering were electronicas but not all electronicas had white lettering.

A '74 SFC would have left the factory with a roundel on the tank. Anything else was added locally.

Padded seat essential after all the hard work you have done to create an accurate replica!
 
In the book: 'The Laverda twins and Triples' by Ian Falloon, there is a chapter specifically for SFC's - it's very detailed and informative. This book is well worth a read and easily available. I'm sure it will help you with your rebuild.
Keep the photo's coming...........

There is only one reference concerning 750 SFCs, that is the Marnix van der Schalck-Tim Isles book..
And the 750 SFC register.
All other references are potential money pits and keep lawyers busy.
:D
