Description

In this book, seasoned motorcycle restorer Ricky Burns takes you through each of the stages of a real-life restoration. Aimed at the total beginner but suitable for enthusiasts of all abilities, the reader is taken through each step in detail and taught the techniques, tricks and tips used by experts. From choosing a project, setting up a workshop, and preparing a bike, to sourcing parts, dismantling, restoring and renovating, this book is the perfect guide for the classic motorcycle restorer.
Synopsis

The 1970s and 1980s were wonderful eras for the motorcycle, with their assortment of crazy two-strokes, and the first multi-cylinder superbikes coming thick and fast from Japan. It was a time of fast-paced engineering advances, and a time in motorcycle history that is unlikely ever to be repeated. Yet the then-over budget motorcycles that we longed for, are now available within budget ... and just waiting to be restored.
This book will guide you, in detail, through every stage of classic motorcycle restoration. From sourcing a bike, to outlining each of the techniques, tips and tricks used by experts, this guide will save you time, money, and – best of all – show you that you don’t need expert knowledge or a fully-fitted workshop to restore your dream bike.
Packed full of photographs, and with detailed instructions, this book is the perfect companion for any classic motorcycle restorer.
Independent Reviews

As you would expect the authoritative text written in plain English is backed up with plenty of sharp high quality images. Although aimed at the beginner it is the perfect guide for anybody tackling a classic motorcycle restoration and its money saving tips will easily cover the modest cost of book over and over again.
Printed as a soft-bound book in workshop manual style it is the perfect workshop companion and well worth the £30.00 cover price.
Ian Kerr, Freelance Reviewer
