Hi All
The bike has a uk reg number & I have the V5 document.
Laverda Dave:
In all honesty Rob I would expect a full nut & bolt restoration of that bike to cost north of £8k and that's assuming you strip the bike including the engine and reassemble it yourself (and do a lot of the other work such as polishing, cleaning and running around getting parts). It would be 100% worth trying to save the original tinware even if badly pitted, any pits can be filled with brass before re-plating.
florence:
It doesn’t have to be a full nut and bolt restoration though. When I bought my 500 in 1995 it was a pile of bits. Many of the parts I bought to repair it were second hand, and I just wanted to make it mechanically sound and be something cheap and fun to ride. It is rusty, scruffy but runs really well and gives great enjoyment , people are always complementing me about it. For me it would depend on what the engine is like, everything else could be make to work without spending a fortune.
I just got my 350k going after 30 years standing. All it cost was a gasket set, two tyres, inner tubes and rim tapes, plus rear brake shoes. Everything else was simply cleaned and tidied. All depends on what you want.
