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

Toys R Us!

Love it when the postman arrives.

Just wondering whether to paint the cast plates black or not....decisions decisions.

mount them, step back have a long look and take pics. Then photo shop the back plates black and ponder again :D
 
... no need to photoshop the plates: I have them painted black on one of my Laverda 1200SC - have a look at the pix. Tarozzis also in black!
Ciao, Gert

Hmm. Thanks Gert. Mine are for my early SF, so I want them to be as discrete as possible. Nice looking bike you have there. Looks quick! Is it?

 
Hi the Pazon Surefire for brit twins is the one, my pal a retired engineer made the adapter for it (taper needs to be spot on) then fitted the system. It started first time have it on my phone.
The revs are clean throughout and easily go to the red line if you don't watch the throttle, got the carbs completely rebuilt also with new slides so clean all the way.
Cheers Covkid
 
For those with leaking fork seals,its worth trying the old 35mm  film negative trick. Smear some light oil on the film and slide it down past the fork seal and slowly using an angled sawing motion up and down.Your attempting to remove anything like a bit of grit Its worked for me a few times on dirtbikes. No guaranty's though. This worked that well someone made a kit you could buy with a hook shaped bit of film in a bag for $20 or so.

Vince, I only have digital cameras now.  Will this also work with an SD card?
Thanks in advance

Mate from what I can gather Vince still has the same handsaw he had as an apprentice and has shunned the nail gun and still runs the nail through his ever receding locks for ease of entry into the hardwood studs that he still swears by  :-* :-* :-*

he will probably think your trying to swap him some ducati card

For those fortunate enough to live in Gods country - an Oz $5 note will do the same... wraps perfectly around the fork leg.  :D
 
Plastic bank notes,never even twigged. Cosi that nail through the hair trick worked great,but now only Panel pins  are long enough,used to work on the 4 inches but it hurts the skin thats only left up there.

... yes it is quick! But it is no longer mine, sold it last year to a friend, because I had three Sulzbacher 1200 SC (from 15 ever produced)!

Werner Sulzbacher was the Austrian Laverda importer from 1968 - 1984 and tuner also. Here are some infos, the whole story will follow soon:

I went to buy some washers for mine and learnt something.

I walk in forgetting the name of them, (you know, the ones under the M6 bolts on the rotors for eg.), then as I walk through the door I remembered "Can I have 12 x M6 Nord Lock washers please"

Blank stare, raised eyebrows.

I explain what they look like ...............  "Oh, you want VS washers". I returned the blank stare and raised eyebrows.

But, 'Mr Blank Stare' did teach me something about VS washers, they need to go on with the Convex side out, not concave side out.
