Woow, another drummer back to life. Position of the ND instruments looks strange ...

Had a visit from Dr B yesterday to have a look at Joan’s balance which was out after I had the carbs off to fit the new fuel rail - I had managed to bend one of the linkages - however with the tank off it was also clear that the tank was rubbing on the carb top - could have been really messy now sorted - top man !

I have been thinking of nicking Laverda road signs from around the town called Laverda not very far from Breganze, but never did, I bottled at nicking the Centrosport sign from Breganze centre as well and that was a long time after Augusto (Finetti) shut the shop, and now its gone, should have jumped in, I do have one of his very pretty rear number plate surrounds though, and it was a personal gift!

Yep that’s the one Rob might comment on the model - small adaptors screwed into the carbs with rubber pipes as my early series two didn’t have pipes

It's the Syn-X classic, made by X-log Electronics GmbH. Website https://store.x-log.de/synx/
As well as displaying the vacuum, it also offers a differential display which is the second photo. That makes tweaking to a perfect (..or as perfect as a bank of DellOrtos will let you get
) balance easier. Response can be switched between 1sec ->0.25 sec. There's also min-max and pressure displays to help identify leaking valves and the like. Bought it 'cos I got fed up with sticky Carbtune steel rod columns...and was mighty impressed to see Keith Nairn use his VacuumMate to great effect.

On my tour last Monday, the speedometer stopped working just before I got home.
At first I thought the cable was broken. But when I followed up on the cause today, I found a DPO bug.
The picture on the left (borrowed from Gert) shows the drive as it should be.
In my case, the DPO forgot to fit the top washer between toothing collar and shaft carrier. The collar had worked its way into the shaft carrier above the toothing. A lot of material was worked away (see right picture). At one point the toothing had wandered so far up that the transmission was interrupted ...
I dismanteled the drive and took it to OCT - it was fixed in five minutes (new shaft carrier with my old shaft; thanks to Piet).
Cheers,
Jo

I have two more of the old style instrument panel, they all have the same bend, whereas the cast panel is flat. So they all do that, I guess....

OK, it is a drummer, but no triple, but I remember, that my SF1 also had a quite steep instrument angle (picture is from 1982):
At least it was according to the brochure:

"I hope these birds don't shit on your pretty bike Luigi. Their poo has an usually high uric acid content, don't ya know, it'll fuck your shiny paint for sure. Now then, you promised me you'd take me up the back road, so put that fag out and let's get on with it".
That Bob Smith is or was the recently deceased Sig. Lavarda, often present in the publicity shots from Vajenti. A very pleasant man who spoke an excellent French.

Angle on the instruments looks steeper in one than the other - I'm sure my SF1 didn't have that full-on rake. Maybe there were two types of bracket used? they all eventually broke anyway!!

Clem,
correct spelling. Full name is Arcangelo Lavarda. Have a look in the "Laverda 750 La Diva" book - he appears a lot in it. He was a Laverda employee, and his function is mentioned their as a test driver.
Cheers,
Jo
