BMW Laverda prototype project

This is looking to be a great build…… can’t wait to see the finished bike
 
Hello, sorry to not have updated here in ages but I am not brilliant with tech and having to upload photos via Flickr or Facebook etc is painful and when I last tried I spent an hour and could not get Flickr to work at all:mad:

Progress has been steady, electrics, exhaust, brakes etc all done and about 2 weeks away from starting the shakedown. After shakedown it's back to fettling then paint so still a few months away from the finished article. Weight is 140 kg so pretty much bang on what I was hoping for.
I have a private Facebook group with current photos info etc if anyone is interested in seeing pics (Laverda BMW G/S). Cheers John

Hello and sorry for the lack of updates on here trying to get pictures uploaded on here with my addled brain is beyond me. Yes it's finished and I gave it to Classic Bike to have a play. The photographer, Chippy was a top bloke and Bob Dixon the writer and rider on the shoot was a Laverda team rider and off-road guru and gave the bike a proper hammering. Judging from the smiles on both I think they liked it so look forward to buying a copy next month. Cheers

Of course many GS owners owe a little to another Laverda connection: the Telelever front end. Developed by Todd Laverda and Saxon Racing for the Motodd Laverda specials.
