1974 Laverda 3C

[oldGSfan]

The tank mounts at the front like the Suzuki GS1100E, two rubber discs which I 'Goop' glue on - tired of chasing them around the garage, learned that from the GS's. Then, on the back, it sits on two rubber plugs, rounded at the top, which plug into the open mid-frame tube ends. The seat is fastened at the back very simply as well, with two bolts and a sort of bayonet metal protrusion on the seat pan. So putting on both takes 2 minutes. I just wanted to ogle it and share.

I got the alternator cover polishng done today. Tomorrow, I will do the primary cover. Won't be long now.

Well worth sharing. It's a beauty.

Just curious, have you found a dedicated Laverda website that have been providing helpful info?

Yeah, there's Laverdaforum.com. Many Brits and Aussies. I did meet a sort-of local guy who has helped me out with a stock airbox and some other small bits, and given me good advice. I may buy some RaceTech stiffer springs from him, they are a gread deal. The front end does seem softly sprung but I'll wait until I ride it to see how it feels. I checked out some FB groups, and the forum is better.
