Redax Laverda

Thanks Davo.
This afternoon, on my way back home, I dropped into the Redax shed to help out and Maxene walked up with a parcel delivery that was addressed to me.
A card and gift of thanks from Davo.  Choice  (thumbup)    & as Max says "praise is good!"
So I pinned the card beside the Redax Laverda friend's board, helped out with a triple, consumed more cold tinnies out of the shed fridge, then headed home with my bottle of bounty.

We're pleased Davo you're once again having fun riding your Jota.  & I do like a good series 1 triple  :D
  & the rum is good, so I'll go pour meself another, then better logout ay ...  (drunk)

Season's Greetings to all
 
Correct.  The Corvette has been Redaxed good and proper.  I'm told it goes, handles and stops like never before.
  & fortunately Maxene had her seat belt fastened before trying out the new upgraded brakes.  :D
 
month of May resulted in lots of CNC time for Redax Laverda with more coming in June
this month we are machining 500 cam bearing blocks but one piece units instead and a couple of other tricky pieces we have in mind
photos below

10 x Marzocchi steering stems on the left, 10 x Ceriani steering stems on the right, made from 4130 high tensile steel



30mm hydraulic clutch pistons upper left, we are also about to do a run of 31mm pistons
custom valve spring upper and lower plates to suit PAC Alloy dual valve springs and a packet of 7mm brass exhaust nuts



another run of 750 billet sump plates with magnetic sump plugs



billet cam bearing blocks for triples, all models, in 0.0mm, 0.20mm and 0.40mm offset



another run of billet hydraulic clutch/sprocket covers, suitable for triples and twins



 
Bling City!! Will those valve spring retainers fit my SFC valves, Red? Weren't you having some Ti items made up? And will be adding a 750 sump plate to the next package to travel from The Red  to my joint.

no, spring retainers for the 750 set up are different, ones shown are for dual valve springs on a triple as used in our race engines
I have 750 retainers in stock to match a 7mm valve stem and recently landed the custom made 7mm x 750 valves


 
All lovely lovely stuff, and i know how lovely reds stuff is as i have one of the hydraulic clutch covers. What i really want to see is Red make a four valve head for our old clunkers. Go on red, you know you want to and it definitely makes sense!!!

billet head is on the drawing board but it will be a 3 valve head

It would be wonderful if a proper oil filter were somewhere in the development queue.

Easy enough to plumb into the existing oil lines.  Has been done to death... some nice, some not so. :D

I need one of those!!!! What will the overall benefits be apart from looking as flash as a motherfucking flash thing?

1; will be stronger and will not crack that is for sure
2; if we get the design correct will produce far more power which is the main purpose of life
3; it will substantially lighten your wallet

one of the hardest machining operations to do on a billet head such as to suit a Laverda is to machine the finning all the way through and be able to remove enough material to keep the overall weight down. Everything else is straightforward, we are in the process right now of scanning offset 36mm inlet ports that we do on street heads so we can CNC machine inlet ports from now on instead of having to do them by hand. Though those ports would not work on a 3 valve head, just pointing out that machining a complex shape such as an inlet port is no big deal these days.
My CNC mate produces billet overhead cam heads for Ford V8's as a sideline so is a dab hand at programming

Put Me down for one. Love the first two reasons and the third no longer matters as il'll be divorced in a couple of months!!

Hi Red,
will pre orders be possible and can it be water cooled?
Andre

I will go to Spa this WE and watch how Gijs bike will perform. Wheather will be difficult - rain at 12 deg.....
