LV00 project

The goal is to loose weight everywhere without sacrificing the design. An original Laverda frame weights about 24 kgs, a space frame replica about 15, the LV00 frame might be lighter yet... This means that some high-tech metals have to be used. Probably the frame will be in 2 parts, a tubular 15CDV6 steel treillis on the front and a sort of omega box in machined aluminium, aircraft quality, to the rear. Of course the 15CDV6 steel cannot be bent so the original design will have to be modified a bit...
The project have been stopped for one year and half due to many problems, so we have now to redesign everything. The initial studies will be our reference, the final result will have to get close to them, at least for the main concept.
Our 3D images maker is gone (found a new job and has no time anymore to work on the project) so we have to use ourselves softwares like Autocad and Solidworks. Not as good as the high-tech 3D software used before, but they should be sufficient to help us.
