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

... prepared a nice set of Jota rearsets for a friend who is restoring a Sulzbacher LAVERDA 1200 SC in northern Germany! Not easy to find all these parts today.
Ciao, Gert

Pretty to look at, are they reanodised?
If that's the final mounting position (rod end on inside) won't the nut, on the inside of the output shaft lever scratch the case?
Not picking, just saying.

Not unless you fall over and bend it....

Hi Chris, the plates are glassbeaded (I like it more than polished), pegs and levers are standard Tarozzi items. Nothing will scratch the cases - same layout as on my white 1200SC.
Ciao, Gert
 
dragged out our next race engine and started to get it ready for next year



mated it to it's frame so we can start working on wheel/sprocket alignment, want to try and use a 5" rear rim

Where are you going to source the 5in rim from ? 
We've been looking for readily available 5in rims for a while for a couple of the big HP pre 82's I look after - not Pete's triple I hasten to add...Legal here for this period racing but quite hard to find...What we can fit on 4.5in rims don't last long at this HP level and weight.

Ha, yes, comes on to rain and it's beer o'clock ?

Big problem locally with guys who build a big pre 82 and fit a 5.5 rear...and wonder why they get told to change it.
One guy here with an RG500 - genuine and quick - regularly fits his 5.5 to see how long he can get away with it...thing is, I know he's got a TZ yamaha 5.0 in the van so if I'm there the answer is, not very long.
yes, I'm a nasty killjoy b.....

Not in 17 X 5.0 you don't...17 X 5.5, yes very common.
Only a handful of bikes used a 5.0 rear.

and one of those bikes that uses a 5" x 17" rear is a Zane Laverda thus we already have 5 rear rims available
gives us 2 sets each for the 2 race bikes and a set left over for the street version
perfect

Well, that's added to my knowledge, thanks Red.
Now, how many Zanes have been wrecked in NZ, Hmm, that's right, none....LOL

Most common 17 X 5.0 would seem to be Suzuki RF900 - and the owners of those like them so much they keep the damm things going forever.

would probably know where there are a few in a shed on the outskirts of Christchurch
Uncle Vena would have to have some spares laying around

Don't know him, at least under that name - but then I'm not actually an owner. Here they all seem to know each other and parts are only sold one owner to another. The last Zane i saw here was parked up with the usual motor problems but the owner was holding onto it cos "someone will come up with a solution..."
Just like the guy i know holding onto an original unmodified bimota Vdue.

:o Greg, Greg, Greg.... where have you been hiding?
Venna has been a Laverda icon since Adam wore shorts, track him down. He has a wealth of information tucked away in his long white cloudy grey cells.
