Spare parts and servicing

Quality time with ones Laverda is certainly not waisted time, but keeps the bike in top shape, the way Massimo wanted it, and ensure you have a bike that does not drive like an old shopping cart with overload on  :D
Furthermore it may give you street-cred if you let your/the neighbours children watch, your missus gets happy while you're not down at the pub, and the best part is, that you can intimmidate your neighbours completely by the mere fact, that they see you are getting ready to reload the earth-shattering missile from Breganze  :D (you know, the moment when they begin to have nervous shakings, the hurry past your place, you meet them at the local building supplier buying ear-protection, even the dogs refuse to take a piss at your lamp post etc. etc).
No such thing as problems with a Laverda, only quality-time.

Cheers,
Jacques.
 
My neighbours are both renters and have barking dogs that I could happily kill, I've never met them, they can get fucked.... :D :D

No problems with time to tinker, that's what I want, the BMs so boring I went for a spin today and apart from needing to do a master cylinder overhaul on the front brakes I couldn't think of anything else to fiddle with!

Mind you it was a great ride :) Couldn't be nicer weather!

I seem to recall not so long ago Ken you were frothing at the mouth and polishing and preening a 120 like a bitch  :D
KEN LOVES THE SOUTH AFRICAN, dont you Ken  :P

Yeah ... well ... sometimes a man just has to to do what a man has to do. I'm secure enough in my own self-identity that I can let little apparent incongruities flow by. >:( :-X
I did enjoy riding that South African motorcycle, though. I'd never confuse it with a proper Laverda :D, but it was still very nice.

Reading the headlight thread in "for sale" it suddenly clicked that the headlight will be the wrong way around for here. Are they easily converted? Reflector or lense? Will it be a show stopper for registration?
 
Buy one from a Fiat 126 with the right direction, it is the same. Bought one recently for my SFC and it was 19? plus 5? for shipping. Brand new!
 
Ooohhh, thanks for that, I have a mate with a garage full of Fiat 126 bits, will see what he has laying around.

Bugger it's a 124 not 126....
 
The Fiat lamps I have seen are not exactly the same, you have to drill a hole for the pilot light and the mountings are slightly different.

Hey Drikko the RGS lights are so bad you wont have to worry about a lighting test the light is so weak the beam probably wont even hit the target! and i am not dramatising here, did a big night run on my SFC1000 with a couple of boys on Jotas and skippys everywhere couldn't see a bloody thing ??? ??? ???
 
I have a few hella ff50 driving lights which I've converted to hid. They will light up the moon if you point them in the right direction. One of the em will be added straight away. I've got one on the k and it turns night into day and only draws 35 Watts. Good to hear the existing light wont cause too many issues!
 
Uh? The 126 Fiat (at least the ones for Germany...) are absolutely the same. Just mounted one to my SFC (which is the same as for the RGS).

Regarding the "it does not bring out any light", there is a very easy answer to that: direct feed it with a relay, and your Problems are gone! The original wires are way to small and have a serious restriction in it. Once you use a larger diameter cable and use the original one just for switching the relay, the light goes bright as it should be.

Oh - and make sure you have H4 bulbs in there...  :D
 
ANd it will spare your left contactset as well.
And after doing what Lothar suggests, plop in a Nightbreaker bulp. Same wattage, but different gasmixture, and 90% better light. It's also more solid made to resist vibration. I did, and can very well drive in nighttime now.

Cheers,
Jacques.
 
Hey Drikko,

Get the sucker registered then ride it like you stole it... :o
The other stuff can wait...  :D :D :D

Ciao,  Ross.

So has any one done coloured brake lines or do the look gaudy? I see these guys do them here in Brisbane and ADR approved as well.

Pink would be a good colour for a RGS, you could get a matching handbag to go with it :P

There was that pink Jota in Sweden, seen a few pics of that. And it was a 180 too! (I think). Of course, it was a sheila riding it, one of those 2 metre blonde Valkyrie types. Looked good. So did the bike!

Hey Drikko, you have the advantage of having Red locally so you can make a man of your RGS and have the crank rephased. Throw in some manly 4c at the same time :D
