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

[T.C]

Joined the CIMAA run to Gerry's cafe and then on to Wollombi, great run and a good turn out.
Met Pete, Nick, Jase and Ben and then out to the 7 eleven at Berowra where there was a heap of standing around while everyone turned up, then on to Gerry's for breaki
Ended up with 3 750's 2 orange Jota's and when Brett joined us at Gerry's there were 2 3c's plus a whole heap of Guzzi's and a couple of very nice Ducati's.
At Wollombi there was some confusion as to beer or cake, but beer won out
Nice run home

Of coarse we were all drawn to this immaculate Katana, although Nick did feel the need to kick it...

Looks like they do nice work Lemon, what are you getting done to clean up the hubs? Quick bead blast?

 

[piranha-bro2]

More labour on the spesh - I just keep finding ways to drag this project out!!! Making the plug for L & R sidecover moulds. I went a 12mm alloy plate to get the finish I want, straight, round edges (router bit in the lathe) and the ability to create the recesses for retaining screws (not yert done). And I can use the one plug for L and R by simply flipping the plug when making the moulds. Getting closer but still too far to go!

 

[Dellortoman]

Blimey, 12mm aluminium plate for making plugs. I'd never have thought of using aluminium. I reckon I'd have used something like MDF. But I'm not much of a hand at fibreglass, so maybe your way is better. I hate working with the horrible messy, sticky stuff.

 

[motoddrob]

Agree with Cam re: aluminium. Would have done it with MDF and finished with Paint. Much easier to work with.
Are you planning to use a polished alum. finish or paint when taking a mould off it?
