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

OK back on topic, sourced new speedo cable from Mr Ed, but it would go into the speedo, turned out the cable had broken off inside the receiver or what ever your call it. Ok so painfully pulled the instrument cluster out bathed in sweat being 30+ degrees and about 200% humidity, yep end of cable was stuck in. Swore at it for a while and tried to fish out with a small screwdriver with no luck. Found a 2mm drill bit, screwed that in, dragged it out, bingo problem solvered. Also found the connector from the ignition switch was severely corroded so fixed that. All back together in a pool of sweat. Beers were had. Tried to fit the new brake lines but the one from the master cylinder wasn't long enough for the executive bars despite being ordered for an executive..... Back to the shop tomorrow...
 
My Tarozzi pegs and levers arrived today. One of the rattle stopping washers, the ones that are spring steel and bent like this ) was jammed in against the head of the main cap screw.

Barry my bolt bloke just smiled and shook his head (like an Indian ordering Vindaloo) when I asked for one ......... and to think, he has been so helpful in the past.  ::)
 
Weather is getting better here, 55F today, took the SF2 out of the shed today, nice ride, also means I can work on the 3CL comfortably, here is pic of my two beauties

I think I saw Jay Leno say white is a hard colour to pull off, the lines need to be perfect for white to work, that's a great example of that idea.
