Final Drive Seal
Laverda Dave:
Well done for removing the engine on your own Andy.
Happy to help with the heavy lifting when required. I'm going on holiday from 29th Aug until 22nd September but available all other times👍
AndyD:
All done!!
Thanks again for help and advice on getting this done.
Enjoy your holiday Dave, managed to lift the engine back in and it wasn't too bad in the end - it's more awkward than heavy to get wiggled into the frame.
Not bad with the 250, not sure I'd try with anything bigger any more!
All back together and polished back up.

Interesting on the seal as I bought an original Honda one (as used in the first build) but also a pattern one from eBay out of interest.
The pattern one is nothing like the original and has no locating lug and worse has no holes for the oil passage in the casing - photos shows the differences.

Pattern seal would be easier to replace without splitting the cases but clearly wouldn't be right - I wonder how critical that oil passage is and how many engines now have this blanked off.
Cheers,
Andy
AndyD:
Another technology fail with posting - this time only one picture appeared!
Hope these appear this time - finished (again) bike and pattern seal with missing oil passageway

The bike looks fabulous! It brings back fond memories of my mate Steve who had a yellow one: the 'Flying Banana'. I rode on the back of it often down to the Railway Hotel in Bishops Stortford when I lived down that way - I had hair then :-)
