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

Funny you should say a while ago I did some research on Neatsfoot Oil on Gortex boots, that's my usual go to for leather, apparently NOT recommended, it clogs the pores that allow the Gortex to work at its best.
 
Loaded the dismantlted engine from 1456 into the Ute for the long drive to Qld for a complete rebuild 😀 ,Steve’s crank is coming along for the ride to keep it company😂

Test fitted the SFC stand using Wagner’s components..... and fit it doesn’t.

With the mounts positioned so the stand is down, leaning slightly forward. The up position..... which should be almost parallel to the seat tubes, it isn’t by far, and points upwards about 35 degrees and the spring holder is hitting against the cross tube.
Curious....

Double checked the drawings and nothing is missing.

The down rebate is fine and rests against the cross tube, but the up rebate is miles away from the cross tube when the stand is in the up position.

Probably why I made my own stand and my own frame mounts - but there will be a feasible explanation CK< cos I reckon it should fit. Surely welding an 'up' stop lug onto the frame or stand won't be difficult?

Please note that there were 2 types of V shape stands, one for the last drum brake SFC and one for the disc brake models, as in the drawing. The latter is not suitable for mounting on SF frames unless you modify it heavily, so it’s the (11000 batch) type stand that you must use.

Thank you. That’ll explain it.
 
The LCO Race Section had a nice long weekend on the Spreewaldring race track south of Berlin.
The racetrack is on a former Russian airfield, that was back then in the communist eastern part of Germany.
Plenty of time for good conversations and celebrations.
It was cold at 6 degrees at night and sunny and hot during the day. Our bikes and riders didn't have the slightest breakdowns.

Went for a fang before the hundred degree heat set in. Started first prod. Loves the Sunoco race fuel! My 78 Jota never ran this well, even from new. Lower (original Ceriani) suspension makes bike feel less top heavy. Not even leaking! Changes direction with less effort. No sign of oscillation on trailing throttle on faster bends. Such great power delivery, yet smooth around town. Still no repeat of blown main fuse. Nothing fell off. Getting accustomed to right side shift. Time to think about heading to the hills!
