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

I agree with Davo, looks much more like Benelli colours in overall concept.
The Kawasaki green is metallic or pearlescent.
 
Grant, the Benelli is perl, too... The original Kawa-Green is like this:

Now compare...:

Not sure which of the two computer screens needs color-adjustment, yours or mine now...  :-*

:D :D
 
As far as I am concerned it's very close to the 3CL green that I really like a lot. I have hear about a few different Laverda greens from the twin,they seem a bit pale and wishy washy but I really like this strong vivid colour. Its extremely green.
 
Lothar, oh Lothar.
I still say the concept is closer to the Benelli.
I have never seen a Kawa in that colour scheme before. A German market special?
 
Well Grant... re-read what Brett wrote about his "Concept", can't read "Benelli" in there...:

No idea of the paint code for the green had it mixed by eye  :o got the inspiration for the colour scheme after seeing the old Guzzi dust bins at Broadford, I had a silver fairing and as all will know have been looking for a green Lav for ages.. so what with copious amounts of spare RGS bodywork on hand got the paint gun out and presto.
Besides there are too many Orange and Red Lav's around already ... and I have already 2 black ones

So - basically it was about loving the green color and having some spare body parts to paint them (and maybe not wanting to ruin the mint silver fairing he had as a spare). Not sure that qualifies it to be a Benelli concept, but maybe it does, in a kind of "italian way of developing things"...  :D

I see what you are coming from, I still have a different point of view as the green is so dominating and so similar to the Kawa green, that I can't see a real concept relation to the Benelli. But maybe I am just missing some imagination-abilities which you obviously have.  ;)

cheers


 
More like a GP short wheel based 1970s Beach Buggy colour.

My first car 1600 VW unit , but it was in orange!! If only I d known.....
 
Guys it was all about the love of green, you need to see it in the flesh as the photos were taking with the sun beeming down on it so the green appears a bit lighter than it actually is and Vince is spot on it is as damn close to the original green of my 3CL as we could match by eye... didnt have a colour sample ( anyone here in Aus got an original green side cover or tank that we can get matched ???/ 0 the Silver Jota might be destined for a colour change now that have had the chain gaurd rechromed and repainted the instrument holder at the front... oh i feel a restoration coming on... the last bloody thing i wanted to do but well the black painted chain gaurd got the better of me didnt it. So how long before the rust under the paint on the tank does the same.... grrr

Then the RGS can go back to being Red, Orange, Black or Silver i guess .....  :o matter of fact I might do it now oh cant got to go to work bugger.

Ken Hell! Sorry for starting WWIII.

As soon as I saw the photo I thought shades of Benelli as I have never seen a Kawasaki in similar livery.

And I love green Laverdas. Well the Pea Green anyway. Not too fond of that metallic lizard green.
