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

Took the Jota for a ride today. Still not running right. No top end grunt. Wouldn't pull a hot greasy sausage out of an elephant's arse. It's gotta be the ignition timing. I've checked everything else.

Anyway, someone told me you should start the new year as you mean to continue. So far I've been for a ride every day this year  :D
 
After last night's drama with a brain dead Indian customer that totally ruined any chance of going to any NYE celebrations I too went for a ride. Stopped for a coldie at the local. Need to fix the other waggly mirror when I get home and change the front tyre. At least it's a nice and cool 32 c today instead of 42 :)

Yep, only the yellow peril. Don't know how I survive without the warm fuzzy inner glow of multiple Laverda ownership ;)

since when does riding round the corner count as a ride?
 
Did the Piet mod to the RGS fairing mounting i.e. replaced the rubber bush with a solid aliminium one (aluminum, if you are American) I made on the new lathe.
I am curious to see if it stops the fairing flapping around (and thereby improves the quality of my GoPro videos)
Also replaced the instrument cluster (again) as the speedo had developed a marked affinity for 60 km/h irrespectivevof gear and engine revs.
Took the opportunity to re-jet the carbs and polished the cam cover (horrible job)
Now I need to repaint the oil cooler, fit it together with the new hoses, start up, balance the carbs, and set mixtures.
Thats it for the RGS 2015 TLC program, back to fettling the Jota...
 
Steve,
I found a big improvement with the solid mounted fairing on the Corsa.  It's basically a safety mod, since you're no longer distracted by wondering when the whole fairing will part company with the rest of bike and can concentrate on riding! :)
Cheers
 
Ordered a couple of secondhand Fiat 124 Spider headlight parts (bucket and rubber gasket) from the States for the 3C project - seems to be the closest I can find to Carello SFC bits.  Waiting with baited breath for a few parts from the Dutch SFC bloke before I can crack on with the build.

BTW:
Just realised Maurice, my '74 3C is a fairly close number to your bikes  :)
