Their centres may have been transposed.
What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?
- Thread starter CLEMTOG
- Start date
Well, they're probably inverted left to right. Taps are marked S for sinistra or left, D for destra or right.

When I unpacked my new taps from Shaun I noticed they were both marked “R” for right.
“Aaargh” I said.
Then I realised what the “R” really meant.
“Ahh” I said.

Cool looking bike, be test riding it next week

the other modification we have been working on while building the Twin, fitting a 180 rear tyre on our Laverda triple race bikes
Not an easy task by any means, we machined custom final drive gears/Output shafts to allow us to move the front sprocket out by 12mm
Turned out we moved it by 11.2mm but that was enough anyway and then, a new swingarm and cush drive to relocate the rear sprocket out by 12mm and then total redesign of the Sprocket cover with the outrigger bearing to support the Output shaft
So I believe, we now have the only Laverda in the world running a 180 rear tyre
Better result in better lap times as this has not been a cheap exercise that is for sure and we still need to do the same for the back up bike
And our next modification that we are doing to the clutch is going to be even way more expensive, FFS
Some hopefully exciting news to come in the next 8-10 weeks, if the clutch modification works

Pictures can be deceiving, but I assure you it’s a 180 in the rear.the other modification we have been working on while building the Twin, fitting a 180 rear tyre on our Laverda triple race bikes

BTW is that still on the 5.5” rim?

It’s not a Breganze Laverda but I have a 180 at my Zane 650Pictures can be deceiving, but I assure you it’s a 180 in the rear.

I was reading an article on the Mk5 Motodd that Cathcart raced and the specs said it was running a 180 rear.
I can only guess the motor was moved to the right in the frame. If so too bad Saxon didn't do it to the MK3.
I have looked at doing the same with my motodd as it's only modifying engine mount spacers but the issue is the r/h carby clashing with the frame tube.

Moved the SFQ motor 3mm in a std SF frame - had to grind and weld flats to the inside of the frame tubes around the swingarm mount to avoid chain contact - but with a 520 and a 160, no clearance issues at all - a 180? Nup.

You can use a tyre as wide as you like on a Laverda. Wide tyre kits use a lay shaft, just a bit of light fabrication and imagination is needed.
