Whether you want to correctly restore a classic
Japanese motorcycle or create a modified, custom build, you need the right information about how to
perform the mechanical and cosmetic tasks required to get an old, frequently neglected, and often
long-unridden machine back in working order. How to Rebuild and Restore Classic Japanese
Motorcycles is your thorough, hands-on manual, covering all the mechanical subsystems that make up
a motorcycle. From finding a bike to planning your project to dealing with each mechanical system,
How to Rebuild and Restore Classic Japanese Motorcycles includes everything you need to know to get
your classic back on the road.
Japanese motorcycles have been the best-selling bikes in the world
since the mid-1960s, driven by the "big four": Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki. Of course
certain bikes have always had a following - Honda CB750, 305 Hawk, CB400-4, Benly; Suzuki GT750,
Katana, GS1000S; Yamaha XS650, RD400 Daytona, TZ; Kawaski H1, H2, Z1R - and these have now become
the blue-chip Japanese bikes leading collectors to seek out more common (and now more affordable)
alternatives.
This is the perfect book for anyone interested in classic Japanese
motorcycles, as well as prepping a bike to build a cafe racer, street tracker, or other custom
build.
