That is a fine restoration. The coolest item in my book is the original seat that has been recovered. The '76 seat shape was unique to that year but they all started falling apart within a few months of use. Wish I still had that foam for mine.

Picture taken a few years ago in front of the Laverda Museum in Holland.  Now where can you see 2 such beauties tucked together?
I thought the bike in this thread was the one at the back, but I notice a different saddle??  Bonkers?




The owner of the red one is Hans "Veloce", the blue one is owned by Jasper Verhage. He bought it completely rebuild at Theo Lamers. It is or was for sale!

I'm glad to see some of these restorations that go with gloss black paint on the tank rather than the flat black that was original.

Beautiful bike, I really really really like how they did the seat cover over the original foam. That is nice. I have original foam on my LM1 and if it ever cracks some day, I'll do this  treatment for sure.
