Publisher's Synopsis
The market for vintage and classic motorcycles is huge, with many used ones now available for a fraction of what they cost when new even a few years ago. With a little hard work and know-how, a restored bike can become a reliable and stylish vehicle again. This can often be a challenge, with old technology, hard to find parts, rusty bolts, cracked chassis, rotted wiring, and more. This book walks the reader through the process of taking the bike apart and building it up again: chassis, wheels, brakes, suspension, wiring, seats, fuel tanks, gauges, and more are all covered with start-to-finish step-by-step guidance, instructions, hints, and tips, to make your old motorcycle roadworthy and usable again. This revised and updated edition adds colour photography throughout, as well as new information covering bikes and technologies new to the collector, such as fuel delivery systems, suspension, etc, making it an invaluable guide to any motorcycle restorer.
