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

I knew there was a glaring fault with this set up just couldn't work out what it was, that's cos i ain't no engineer, i only made it to get some idea of aesthetics and thoroughly enjoyed myself doing it.But now its on there i don't like it any way. If some one here could show me how its done i feel its something i could tackle now. Onwards and sideways.

Erm, you could have a look at mine for a start. Not an elegant solution but almost identical in aims to what you are trying to achieve.
 
I vote for Grants solution or with the rearsets perhaps this layout:

that has no hope of working Padders but fairly certain you know that and you are just winding us up

this is how we do some of the rear brake mods now, photo of Yogi's 1200, he wanted us to fit the GSXR wheels and also wanted a sidestand conversion
we copied the Robjota/Bushman/Jotejoe sidestand bracket but extended it at the top to incorporate the mount for the Brembo master cylinder
so basically a sidestand bracket that includes the brake mount
is bolt on if you want one

 
Ok, I Knew it wasn't going to work, but fooled some of you, since stopping drink it appears i have too much time on my hands. Mastercylinder actually sits almost identical to grants.

No it doesn't.
The angle makes the difference between having some chance of working and not a hope in hell chance of working.
 
Difficult but only done it once so far.
The original set up is a PITA too though.
 
Just wondered if there was a potential air pocket at the top and you had to remove it from the bike to bleed it.
 
sorry but on there own they look good but with side stand it looks like a load of scaffold hanging off the bike. laverdas always had clean functunly lines my take only and no malice intended.

That rotating over centre is easy to achieve,surprising easy and downright scary.Pretty obvious but just like brake linkages what you need for maximum efficiency is 90 degree angles.

yeeeehaaaa - finally picked up my crank parts from the machining shop last weekend - after trying 3 different shops, which took me almost a year!


Now the next step on the list: find time in schedule of the nice bloke that assembles all these paperweights to a trued and balanced crank with polished rods...  :D
 
Something wrong with the BBQ1 picture it looks for all the world like Maurice but the bloke in that picture has no beer in his hand  :o :o seems to be holding up the fence. Though it looks like a few rivets are being counted.
Good to see that you took the 120 !,
 
I replaced the 630 Chain and sprockets with 530 on the SFC 1000.
New steering head bearings and rebuilt the forks.
A general going over today and its good to go.

cheers
 
Walked past it, got onto the Triumph and went for a 400km round trip for lunch in a country pub. Lovely beer garden, good food, good company, beautiful weather - bloody ripper.
