They press out pretty easily Ted.

Ash, would you recommend any sort of sealant when replacing the caps or is it just a matter of pressing them back in?
Laverda Dave:
Press them back in, no sealer required, they are pretty tight as they are cupped so are a snug fit.
Deano400:
Thanks Dave.

This is a photo of my friends dad as he helped in the pit crew for this bike in the early 70s in Canada, my friend is trying to track down the bike/current owner.
If you have any suggestions for him it would be appreciated.

Just noticed the bike is an SFC production racer, rare and expensive. JLO will likely know it's history and where it is now as there is a register of them. The frames on those were not painted but galvanized. A good mate of mine up in Scotland had one and he let me ride it for a couple of hours, absolutely fantastic, a true racer on the road. I know he sold it for £25k about 15 years ago and they are worth a lot more than that now. If the bike in your photo is a genuine Laverda endurance factory bike, name your price!

Thanks for the reply. I think he’s made contact with a person named Marnix on Facebook, but the other info and person may help. I see those bikes fetch top dollar! I can’t say I’m well versed in them.
