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

Yes it is. Guard only fits one way as mount holes are same distance in from each end. It is the mounting hoops folk put on back to front and CB's are on the correct way around.

Thanks for clearing that up !
 
My first trip to Melbourne on my 3C had me going through The Dandenongs and The Black Spur, with those Ferns looking like a trip through Jurassic Park. Great riding area.It was a fair bit cooler up there than the 40c on The Great Ocean Rd at the time, even if the Ocean swim was in 15c water temperature. Climbed Mt Kosciusko on the way home as well.

The mudguard blade itself is also often fitted incorrectly.  The "INOX" stamp should be at the leading edge.  Well, that's the way the factory did it, maybe they got it wrong from the beginning... :D

Makes me wonder? Do the INOX/Stainless guards crack down the center like the painted ones?

No.  Haven't seen that.  Seems the cracking of the mild steel guards starts from a weak spot in the folded-over front edge.  Apparently the pressed rib of the stainless guards causes no stress points.

Doesn't seem to be the case with Carlo's guard. Maybe it's an aftermarket job in which the holes have been drilled differently. Front appears to be poking out a bit more than the back.

Looking at the photos it does appear that way. I have an aftermarket guard on mine and measured distance from tip to holes at each end before fitting and distance was the same. Same as my original but tatty guard.

Is measuring from tip to holes at both ends part of med skool training Dr Death?

You mean like this? Holes are still equidistant front and rear though.
