Did a 125 mile jaunt yesterday to scrub in the new Avon sneakers.

Rt 97 hugs the Delaware river for miles, I was there at a rare moment of tranquility.

Rt 97 can be tourist hell with campers and canoe/rafters trailering their gear. Road gets better as fall approaches and they go away.

Interesting front mudguard you have Wayne. What is it?

Don't know. I forget where I got it from, it's plastic and on my list for upgrade.

My original stainless is in OK shape, but the bracket was hacked and drilled for reasons I don't know by the previous owner.

Maybe someone can tell me, but I think it should be a one piece bracket for a 74 3C w/Ceriani forks correct? Mines been cut onto two pieces, front & rear and the mounting holes enlarged.

It's not a mudguard. Wayne is a Yank, so it's a fender.

Yes Wayne, the bracket should be in one piece. It loops around front and rear of the mudguard fender.
Yours could probably be repaired and re-chromed if it's not too messed-up.

The mounting holes are larger than the mount bolt by a fair margin as they have a bush fitted with a rubber "O" ring as per the pats diagram here :- https://www.laverda-paradies.de/shop-1000-54-en.html
 
Took the carbs off, dismanteled them to bits, and renewed all internals, gasvalves, jets, needles, the lot.
Reassembeled and adjusted plus syncronized. Runs smoothly and very well, so took a nice testdrive at this nice September day.

Cheers,
Jacques.
 
Took POP for a run.
It's starting to loosen up now and never fails to impress me with it's power delivery and handling manners.
Going to be a bit of an animal methinks.  :D
