Nope, looks like a bracket bolted to the bottom of the engine.

That guy has some fabrication skills. He's done a very nice job of the bike.

I like the concentric adjuster for the foot lever position/s.

I suppose you're just being eccentric by calling an eccentric adjuster concentric. 
There are some neat attentions to detail, like the swirl polish patterns on the aluminium dashboard and the brake torque arms. Not the kind of things I'd bother to do, but I'm a lazy bugger.

Not exactly the www, but one of the big nationwide distributed German newspapers, the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung", had yesterday printed an article in their travel section about the Veneto in Italy.
Would have never expected the name Laverda showing up in this newspaper, but reading that article, I found this little gem (translated for you to English):
"In Breganze, a few kilometres west of Bassano, the ruins of a factory called Laverda are still standing, which produced, before the Japanese competitors finally dominated the market, some of the best motorbikes of the world (of which the early 70ties 750 GT is the most beautiful one). Instead, you'll find there nowadays a rather uncommon red wine, similar to Bordeaux...."
Nice....

Don't think that's a Lesmo, Paul, it has a handlebar fairing, the Lesmo was fully faired, and the tank is too rounded. It could maybe be a Sport, I have 3 in my garage, but the wheels are different. I can't get to mine at the mo to have a look.
Edit
It's a Sport so it's an 84 model
By the way, although they are very rare, they have almost zero value, there are v few parts available especially not the consumables, most notably pistons. I've always thought the best solution is to re-engine them with something that doesn't seize up/go bang as quickly as the original motor.
