Laverda Dave:
Just catching up on some threads. I missed the finished bike first time round so just seen it.
Congratulations on a great build and to keep going when faced with last minute set backs. The choice of paint colour really sets the bike off especially with the tan seat. You should have a lot of fun on that👍.

Thanks, I'll adjust those heights a bit.
Cheers Dave, yeah very happy with it.
Made a numberplate bracket last weekend. Bit Harley like but there's not enough room over the wheel Bit I think it looks ok

Doubles as a chain lube catcher
Are you going to fit a chain guard?

Yes probably, I might try and make one though it's down on the list of priorities at the moment.
It had a bad hanging idle, so I'm getting the float heights perfect, going back to original 38 pilots for now until I can source genuine 40's and putting some genuine larger mains in.
Still waiting for the custom air filters to come from the US.
K2-K6:
Hanging idle is often a conflict of how the slide's heights are set against the master idle speed control adjustment screw.
Those air filters in previous post look to have many of the attributes of an airbox (they seem a particularly decent approach) and so possible that it'll be easier to work with when they are fitted. Definitely seems worthwhile getting those on before setting absolute jetting.
