Side panel

Hi guys. just wanted some advice. I`m not a Laverda owner but a Ducati owner and i recently came across a Laverda left hand side , side panel. It has all the badges on and it`s from a Jota 1000cc bike. It looks to have had one of the pins on the back siliconed on, the rest are fine. The paint work is scuffed and could do with repainting as it`s green  ::)
How much do they usualy go for?

Arbeia, what people ask for them depends on where the seller is and what sort of condition they're in. One busted mounting pin isn't an insurmountable obstacle these days; they're still available new from the manufacturer but they seem to have changed the formula for the plastic, new ones are very brittle. I'll bet it has at least one crack, almost all of them do.
I've seen these things advertised on eBay anywhere from 5 Euros/pounds/dollars to 100 Euros/pounds/dollars. Do a good job of taking quality pictures for your ad, set a reasonable reserve, but be prepared for no takers. We have a guy on the forum who makes really high quality carbon fibre ones with aluminium pins for a very decent price, but then there's also people who're looking for a cover to replace a lost one or to have a spare set (as in, not real interested in paying top dollar).

Thanks for the advice, ken. It does not seem to have any cracks just scuffs.

If it's for sale then put the advert in the for sale section.
Include in the advert where in the world you are, and what price.
 
Thats the green the 2 Laverdas that I ever saw in the flesh were,I was a 1st year apprentice,16 and riding an MT125 Honda 2 stoke trailbike to Gore Hill tech and there were 2 green Laverdas in the car park.
They stood out even amunst the 2 or 3 hundred other bikes parked there at the time.Never saw another similar Green one in the 36 years since.
 
I've had my green Jarama for nearly 30 years. I wanted a red one ofter reading a test article in Bike one month in'84 , but few and far between so plumped for a greenie. Have to admit, the colour suits the bike, and it is a bit different!  :)  Stuart
 
Hi Abeia, did you ever sell that side cover? and where in the world are you?
