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

Picked up my wheels for the SF road frame today: 10mm hub offset, stainless spokes and 4.25 rear rim with 120 front and 160 rear. Nice job  :D

Now I have to fit into the swingarm and see what else needs to be done.

Good Luck and be prepared to use muscle in order to roll that SF over in the corners with that rubber.

Defiantly not BREV Brakes or Boranni Rims there.

Nice though :o
 
starting to look the goods there cam-lotta the modern bikes have knobs hanging out of their hollow axles-good idea.
be wary of those rear sets mate-my cheapys are starting to sag already-havta change to stainless stud for the peg i guess-next job is to fab some rear set mounts from 10 mm ally plate and use jota rear sets-for your ignition side-id fab/weld an alloy cover that sits over the top of existing cover and pick up mount bolts-check greg parishes dam primary side cover
 
Pulled the engine out of the Exon Valdez this  arvo ready to take to Reds in the morning. Will be interesting to see what the insides will be like after approx 315,00 plus K's. Motor was still running strong but didn't want to push my luck.
 
Nol mate as it came from the factory. Only replaced cam & primary chains ,lots of spark plugs & heaps & heaps of tyres. It has slid down the road a few times, but I wasn't riding it at those times.............. I was usually sliding just  behind it on my arse .

That's pretty impressive no doubt it will be like that R1 that was pulled apart after Nick Sanders had taken it around the world - wasn't a mark on it
 
Put primary and clutch back in the SF2. Clutch needed a bit of shimming, 0,5 mm which surprised me.
Changed the primary chain. One of Andy's duplex Merc jobs. Nothing untowards but whilst I'm in there, change after about 20 000 km. Those chains are cheap.
Need to put a bit of arc on the points plate where a nut is on the back plate for the mobile point since the thread in the baseplate is cooked.
Then fork oil, change the instrument holder which has broken again and renew the tappet insection cover studs.

Sand racing was on at Mablethorpe today ? got there early as have got things to do this arvo.
  Before the racing all the competitors on their bikes lined up along a stretch of sand to witness the scattering of a long serving female marshall?s ashes in the sea near the racetrack. The lifeboat was launched into a very choppy sea to do this and fired a flare as the ashes were being dispersed just yards out to sea in front of all the riders. T?was quite a moving ceremony!
    The racing started late so we missed most of it ? nipped into Lidl ? but could find nothing to start a major argument!

  Sorry shot of the ceremony is so far away ? only had a mobile ?phone ? Regards - phil



 
Finished off the seat today
