I have 74 3c number 1426 , one of my own Laverdas in need of a complete restoration.
If you want any of Steve Burgess 3d Unobtanium part's Italbrit Classic Motorcycles in Western Australia are Steve's sole distributor for Australia and New Zealand.
I have in stock five of all the Laverda part's he produces.
They are very good quality, tough and much more flexible than the originals or fibreglass.
All made to a tolerance of 0.1mm or 4 thou if that's your thing.

We are working on more Laverda parts as well. Once I have tested them they will be released for sale.
Laverda parts currently in stock as follows.
Laverda 1000 180 side cover's left and right x 5 of each.
Laverda triple 180 Air box bodies x 5.

I'm very impressed with this forum. I was thinking please, God, don't make me resort to Facebook! I think I will start a thread documenting my progress. I am going to take my time and do things right. I have to up my game on this one. I'll start a thread on my progress once I get into it. Right now I'm just taking inventory of its needs, learning about the bike, suppliers, areas of trouble etc.

My Suzuki GS Turbo Bonneville bike got 'the treatment' but I didn't re-plate anything - (I want a plating kit for the Lav stuff, just nuts and bolts mainly). It was a cool bike, I sold it on BringATraller about 3 years ago. I got the Laverda to keep, and someday pass on to my son, not to sell.

Great find! Original plug caps! I replaced mine, (rare as..) but reinstalled the originals along with original copper core wires, since new ones caused erratic sparking. You don't see many original exhaust cans either nowadays. Also rare.

Thanks - it's nice, nothing messed with, wiring is untouched, MC and calipers are good, just cleaned carbs and only needs needles and a float. Carbs and Brakes really gunked up but no damage, just took fresh ech chem dip to attack the buildup, my old stuff was no good. Real easy to work on this bike.

They aren't all that complicated or hard to work on. Any mysteries can be addressed here pretty quickly. On the carbs, pay particular attention to the idle circuits and make sure everything is clear by spraying carb cleaner through all the holes and seeing where it comes out. Junk can accumulate in and clog the air passage for the circuit at the air horn, and the tiny feed hole behind the slide on the engine side in addition to clogging the pilot jet.
