The one on the left is an RGS1000, the one on the right is an SFC750 elettronica (a real one) I own several other Laverdas and look after several more, I also make ignition systems for early triples, Mikuni carb kits, hydraulic clutch conversions etc. Exelent form of transport the BM, but the Laverda is a real motorbike.
There is a bloke who is involved with the ILOC, who has the most amazing drum braked triple....John Falkner IIRC.....I love 'Jotas' but there is something just sssssssso ...about those early drum braked 'bikes.......
Haga Lout's Jota !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............
Superb Jota haga lout ! I think it's going to take a lot polishing over the winter to get the 3C to sparkle like that . Still , it gives me something to aim for though riding it will be the main priority , weather permitting !
Wonder if any of you can help. Mate of mine has recently bought a 3C but he's having gearbox problems. The bike has had a shed-load of money spent on it but I suspect the gearbox has had little attention. The problem is we can only find what we think is 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. It still seems to be one down (and in this case) two up.
Whilst I wouldn't expect anyone to diagnose a problem from this description we need to find the right man to. We're in Worcestershire not far from Slaters. The bike was sourced indirectly through them. The engine has had over £2,000 worth of work done by a company in Norfolk called Service Equipment Ltd who I'm led to believe is one of the experts in this area. Ideally, we'd like to find someone local. Slaters has stopped doing mechanical work.
