Im home in 2 weeks. If youre not in a hurry he can ship it to me in Canada and Ill ship it to you. Hey, I bought a 250 Hustler new so it rings a cord.

Thanks for that - I spoke to a fellow in Canada yesterday at Columbia Car & Cycle in Naksup B.C. of all places, he's the Laverda guru and has rare parts. He has one. I think it's 3D printed by the guy in the UK who won't ship. It's a high-quality 3D printed repro done with proper materials on a very expensive setup, from what I've read. Since I already have a pending order for a couple hundred $ with him. Just waiting on his confirmation. I also have relatives in Australia so if this falls through I have that backup.

Great: Nakusp is a 2 hour ride and ferry ride from me. Kind of in the bush, not where you would think for Laverda parts, Sounds like you have it handled.

To avoid pinching tubes, which, despite my best efforts, still happens on occasion, I got a Baja Designs no-pinch tool. It's a game changer. They are advertised for dirt bikes, but it works for any wheel over 18". Of the 4 bikes I have, 7 of the wheels are 18" or over, and 4 run tubes - only the GS1100E rear is smaller.
