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

[Ppuxley]

Er............. I dunno how well it's going to bond to the paint, sort of needs to be applied directly to the bare suface.

Thanks Chris, better do it again ! Although my experience using this resin on the many times I have had to reskin model aircraft wings, it sticks like sh*t to blanket. But, youre right, best do it properly :-[

it sticks like sh*t to blanket.

Scrub the B'jesus out of it with a coarse sand paper once you're past the paint. It'll stick like cum to a tissue then.  : Note to self: We're cleaning up the forum.

Thanks for the kind words chaps:
Drikko: fuck you, i am but a young dad with a newborn who has recently joined the blue rinse set.
Yogi: 3 that are the result of boomshanka

Drikko: fuck you

That equates to an awful lot of beer to me  

 

[Grant]

And the next one please, step right up!

Started pulling this apart today.
It will be a real Chinese puzzle as I think it is not 100% complete plus I will have to modify bodywork and find places for new electrics to live. Still. I like a challenge! 



Got to find a home for all of this, and more.

 

[chrisk]

By the look of that front tyre, I'd suggest the previous owner lived in an area with some very nice roads, and not many straights.
Where do you dig this stuff up Grant?

 

[Grant]

It finds me.

 

[critter39]

I need to leave my front door open so one of those motod's find me

 

[Grant]

I have a second one in the garage just now too.

 

[Rrosco]

I've taken you guys' opinion--ney--orders, and changed my mind to paint my SF project it's original Cobalt Blue vs. my original idea of Orange---------------Besides, I've never seen one in person.

Thanks

Unless you really like orange 

 

[Davo]

The cobalt looks great, fantastic colour

 

[Yogi]

There you go then - a bit of blue and some orange in the background.  The SF1 came with the orange originally when I bought it, but I wanted a change.  The blue is a very recent General Motors Holden (GMH) colour in Australia, probably used in the US as well - Voodoo Blue Mica in DuPont Centari 6000.

Very nice Yogi  8)
....and matching header pipes too!

Superb looking bike Yogi!
That blue suits it really well.

...  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. 

ay Levo, i suggest this may well be considered 'pushing your luck' ??  no ??  ???

in engineering terms, i would call your crank spline wear as being 'significant' !! 

yea, i'll get to your Dell'Orto's next week.  reckon they should also be well & truly rooted too ay?

The carbs should be OK, they were only either fully open or idling, nothing in between so only 2 worn spots...
