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

We have tram rails in cobbles in this part of the world. You know you want to cross them at over 45?.
Fun on wet cobbles, between the cars and the trams.

100/90 is the only way to fly on a Lav  ;)..... well on the front !

Been down the rd a few times when crossing tram tracks in the wet, on a big chook chaser  :'(
 
Chain & sprocket swap today, totally stalled when the "sprocket wont fit" started, a call to Grant D and a peruse though the threads tell me I also bought a poorly made front sprocket, time to get the dremel grinder out, AFAM sprocket 98403-19. The rear sprocket bolts were shot too, stripped threads, new allen heads replaced them, all good.
 
I finished fitting an aux fuse box on the Mirage.  I am happily surprised that I didn't fry any components in the system, as me 'n' electrons have a dubious relationship.  But, what a bird's nest it is!  I'll cut some of the excess wire out at a later date.  Now I'm just looking forward to riding the machine.  It's been way too long.
 
Got the smiths rev counter bracket dry fitted, after many questions to a few people I have decided to silent block it, as it will hold a Motogadget chrono classic. This bracket is just in there to get spacing and placement, the carbon one is now in build, with the top part of the bracket where the rev counter will sit, being angled down for better viewing. Also the bracket will be a bit more sculpted near  the red line is, so when moving from any vibration it doesnt hit the fairing bracket. I mocked  up the bracket in the center of the fairing, but it just didn't look right

Still cant get past how cool the Marchal headlights look !

If that?s directed at me , I like wild animals , but I?m not sure why you would ask that.  :P  asking a BB kiwi about football things goes straight over our heads
 
After the two comments on use of locking tabs on the rear sprocket bolts, it got me thinking, what use are the locking plates on the nuts? The bolts are free to rotate in the hub as the bolt heads are not held in rotation, I used a liquid threadlock on the external nuts aswell as the locking tabs.

Not sure which bike you have but, on my Triple, the nuts are captive in the hub and the tab washers hold the bolt heads to stop them loosening.

+1 and they are the same on 1000 and 750
Regards Andy 😁
 
the tab washers (or lock wire) are vital because they could do with being left hand threads! which they are not.
