Re: What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

G'day Clem

I was tucking in to a steak and kidney pie the other day, and it started me thinking about kidneys.

I'm probably not alone in wondering how things are progressing for you on the kidney issue, dialysis, etc ...

Are you doing OK?

Yeah, kidney disease can be a real pisser.

On thread, I looked longingly at the Laverda sitting forlornly waiting for new cam buckets as I walked past it getting tools so I could remove the spotties and wiring from my Jeep. Last American car I will own. Audi is being prepped for delivery and the lights and bull bar from the Jeep are on the market.
 
did a bit more to jenny. making brackets etc but after being in the garage virtually every spare hour for the last 6 weeks or so i'm biked out!

Get an Air Hawk seat pad, Piet. Then post back to let us know if it's any good.

Cam,

Will be wearing a pair of cycling shorts under the bike gear (on top would look a bit daft, wouldn't it?), have found them very comfortable on long trips.  They afford just that little bit of extra comfort you're looking for when sliding around to ease the aches. ::)

Got the bodywork back from the painter, looks good but I returned it his afternoon as the frame and bodywork reds are a shade different. Will get the bodywork back next week.

Heigh ho. Painters. Spoke with a man out the back of a Kawasaki shop this arvo, who claims he can replicate the white flake on my triple........we shall see :-)

Oh, BTW, if anyone has an *undented* 1200 tank for sale at a reasonable price (that begins with a 1, has three digits and preferably no nines!) let me know.

Of course if it has two digits, so much the better!

H.

 
I think special frames need bold colours. Anyway it is the owner's choice.
I like it. It really pops in tbe sun.
I had pre-prepared many parts waiting for the frame so now it's a bolt together job.
I have a few decent 1200 tanks.  PM me if interested.
 
Slow day, too hot this afternoon, 38?C in the cave.
Only got the 4 pots fitted this morning.

 
Nice conversion Grant. What are those disks off? The carriers appear to have similar offset to the original disks. Looks like the original speedo may still fit. Did you need to machine or shim the wheel to get disk alignment right?
 
Late 80's / early 90's Bimotas had those deep offset 320's that bolt right on Cam, basically all the bikes with Oscam wheels incl YB4, 6, 7 & 8 and early DB2's.  They are easily found, any shop selling rocking horse poo, hens teeth or similar will have them. :)
 
Maybe the Italians are seeing some interest in Rocking horse poo, a couple of months back I needed a set of high rise 38mm clipons. More rocking horse poo,nobody had any and laughed at being asked  although trying Gowanlocks last week they had a good selection back in stock although I bought the last set of high rise ones. Maybe Tazzosi are back making some of this stuff.Really happy to find them
