4years ago a friend offered me to some help to install an electronic speedo (Acewell) on my Laverda 750SF2 which had cheap "chopper" mini speedo/tacho on her. I already had to recreate the rear loop of the frame which had been hacked by the DPO... A new seat ($350) was installed and the bike was running. It looked like this without the bikini fairing and flat track seat:
In between an accident and other bikes I was only asking periodically how was my bike..." ready next week if you need it!" was the usual answer.
Last Sunday I just showed with my trailer and here is what I got:
He "did not like" the stock wire loom, could not fit the new seat (complicated but fitting perfectly!) so he hacksawed both. The gas tank is intact (luck?) and of course the Acewell is not in the bike!!! Did I mention he is a wood worker and the bike covered with saw dust (no spark plugs on either!)???? The 6 wires hanging there must be the begining of a new wire loom: from nowhere to nowhere!
Coils wires were just cut off:
But miraculously my AGM battery (brand new 4 years ago) still shows 12.6V before a little charge!
I am trying to be cool but every time I go down to my garage my blood pressure is in the red!!
