Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

Didn't do their homework for that article - FOUR-bearing crank? Needle roller small ends? Needle roller gearbox bearings? And there's that dyno enigma again - 90hp at the rear wheel? We used to get 48-49 out of a Z1 in stock trim on the conservative dyno we used - it's all relative.

But the spirit of the write-up was spot-on.
 
I could not move mine around much due to the fairing (TS) and the cable/hose length, so I chopped the fairing (made a mould first for prosterity) and then made my own handlebars, now on the second set of those.

Just needed some variation in the winter time...
 
Somewhat intrigues me how the German type accepted, 'handle bar end turning indicators are working, and wire feed arrangement. Vibs are considerable on bar ends. Nice bike, love the oil filer casting. j
 
What a great idea for the seat! I don't really intend taking 'prisoners' on the back of the SFQ but if I do want to tour 2-up I have the double std seat and shortened SF mudguard with tail light to fit - probably a 1 hour job. but for a fang, the removable cover on the SFC seat looks great.

Lovely looking spoke-wheeler.

The indicators can actually act as vibe dampers John. Cables are routed internally, they always need a hole somewhere along the bar. Most are a pita to install, especially in the adjustable bars.

Bloody things seem to be a german invention, originally by Hella, appearing on domestic bikes when indicators became mandatory on bikes over 50cc here in 1961(?). Lots of knock-offs of dismal quality out there, the newer LED thingies seem to be quite reliable. Germans are in love with them, don't rock my boat though...

Yes, Jürgens' bikes are all lovely. He makes good use of modern technologies, certainly no stickler for originality!

I have an SFC replica solo seat I made for my 3c, it looks pretty NAFF though with the std rear guard number plate and light blinker setup. I would love to bob the rear guard and mount the tail light and mudguard directly on the solo seat just like the pictured bike but I also regularly use a much more padded 3c dual seat for long-distance tours on the same bike and mucking around with rear guards would take much longer than just a 5-minute seat swap. I guess practicality outweighs beauty in my world.
