Re: exhaust headers / downpipes

Hi
I have an Armours full system on my Laverda SF and the fit is really good only had to set it up loose first then tighten slowly, also have Armours downpipes on my 77 Strada and they are spot on.

Strada 3 1/2 cylinder head wanted

Hi all
Does anybody have a spare cylinder head for sale? before I get the exhaust thread redone.
The rest of the head is good but worth a try to buy.

Re: Exhaust nuts where to get them

Hi all Got the exhaust nuts from Mauro Gini in Italy very quick delivery and beautiful workmanship all for £61 I can say they fit perfectly in my one exhaust port...the other needing work. They are bronze/brass alloy with a great chrome finish. He is a real enthusiast and gentleman. Cheers Coventrykid

Re: Finding neutral

Hi Dave
I had a tricked up Sport that NLM tuned and at the same time used their casing with adjustment access to set the gearbox, it was a transformation with neutral first time.
Good riding Noel

Re: Strada taking shape on the road soon...

Hi Thanks for the reply The bike does sound a bit burbly without the pipes but it started first go... I have stainless down pipes that I polished today, they were fairly tarnished brown so not cleaned at all I suspect.

Re: Exhaust nuts where to get them

Thanks for the reply I have mailed the guy hope he can supply they look great. The sito silencers just don't do it for me though so reverse cone mega type is favourite unless I can find a swop for shorter style silencers. I have stainless downpipes just polished and they look new so they are good to...

Re: Rusty Petrol Tanks need a 77 Strada tank help

Hi again Well tried the tank without welding after letting the por15 dry for a week and no leaks at all, in fact held it up with fuel lying in the rear of the tank for two nights with no sign. I have painted the tank now in light blue metallic with black inlay and looks really good I will post a pic...

Re: Rusty Petrol Tanks need a 77 Strada tank help

Hi Thanks for the reply I am going to try to get it welded tomorrow, wish I had not put the sealer in as it was not to bad. Incidentally a Ducati 900 ss I had years ago had a sealer in the tank as it sat for a year unused before I got it to my best knowledge its still ok thats about 7 years ago. Wil...

Rusty Petrol Tanks need a 77 Strada tank help

Hi all Tank of to my normal shot blasters who are gentle (had at least 6 done over the years) with the job, came back looking ok but at the rear a bit thinner. The tank had not been leaking but was a bit rough so thought before paint this would give a good base, cleaned up and used POR15 to coat the...

Re: 3 1/2 Sport SPP 694R

Hi Mark
Forgot to mention the welding on the lug was due to stainless bolts getting loose and vibrating, I did not fit them on already.
Alex Mayhew told me it was very common for this to happen, last bit of info
