Hi All,
I hope I am posting in the right place? Apologies in advance if not.
I'm new to Laverda ownership having just bought a project bike. A 1977 1000cc 3CL. I intend to do a full restoration, the bike is about 90-95% complete.
My previous bike restorations have focussed on early 1980s Suzuki 1100 Katanas. I still have a 1984 SD Katana (photo attached) with some slight mods, although my daily ride is a 2010 BMW GS 1200. I also got into English bikes a while ago and rebuilt 2 early Velocettes, ex race bikes. One was a 1946 MAC, the other an early 1950s alloy head MAC Special (photo attached). Now I have a Laverda, so the learning curve begins again!
I'm at Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to find a few parts for it which don't seem to be available from DAM Classic Racing.
Cheers
Rob

Welcome to the site Rob and the wonderful world of Laverda, you certainly won't look back. Loads of help and support to be found within these pages so get reading and make good use of the Search function.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress............Loving the Katana! :cool:
 
Welcome to the asylum, Rob.
You're probably in the best country for an active riding bunch of Laverda Owners. A fine crew, warm and friendly.
My Laverda adventure has been going since '76.
If you have half as much fun with yours as I've had with mine, then I'll have had twice as much fun as you.
