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

Down below in Reggies RGS motor. Particularly pleased with the crank in this one. Less than 0.0005" / 0.012mm total run out across all main bearings after truing especially as the damn thing was bent like a banana when I took it out. Nice to have you in the shop for a couple of days, spent a bit time after you had gone this evening putting the lids back on everything...  :D

Meh, I polished up the outer cases, a bit of Frost Aluclean will get the rest of the crap off the engine.  The insides are clean as a whisle, 'sall that matters.
 
The ole bus is gonna be peachy Reg - even more 'go' and hopefully less oil consumption too 8)
If you need someone to run it in while you're away playing south of the Equator, I think I can find you a volunteer :-*
 
Well thanks for the kind offer :o but as my new house cost more than I had planned to spend I have had to cut my trip down to two months, so I'll be back in time to get a decent season in hooning around the Highlands.  Now where are those National Rally of Scotland entry forms..?
 
Visited the Laverda Museum last monday together with former LCNSW chairman Tom Bendien.
Cor opened up especially for us.
Had another look at Cor's progress on the V6. Its oil and water tight now. Exhaust was mounted, but has to be modified as it hits the swingarm.
Cockpit was ready for mounting as was the wiring. fairing was still at the painters.
It looks like it won't be long before she is ready to run.

Tom once promised me the "book with the bolts" he still had in his posession. I'm very glad he kept his word and brought it along.

Looking forward to my 120 motor getting some similar TLC before too long :D

Haven't seen Tom for almost 20 years!

Hans, please pass on my regards... he once demonstrated his mobile satellite dish in my village, was quite a sight!  Reckon he remembers that.

Will be at Cors' myself in a couple of weeks, time to google over the V6 and nag him for Lav 75 bits. :D

Postman just came by with a large parcel. My pipes from Armours. That's what I call service. Ordered on the net Sunday. Paid for by card Monday morning. Received in France Friday.

Quality is 90%. Nice polished stainless. There is a noticeable change of diameter in the pipe at the bend, but when I say noticeable, I'll soon forget it once all is bolted up.

If I don't bugger up the head getting the studs out, I have at least 3 outings planned in the coming weeks to test the new setup.
