The Big Black Motorbike Ride
Most stories are journeys one way or another. Sometimes they contain several other stories within them, all entwined like strands in a rope. This journey-the first big ride for this couple - is one of those stories. It began in the north of England, swept briefly through Belgium, across France over the Pyrenees, southward through Spain to the Mediterranean shore in Andalucia before turning northwards again through western Spain into Portugal, through the heights of the Picos de Europa and so back to the south coast of England by ship and a final long chilly ride homewards.This story, frequently humorous and occasionally poignant, is about him, about her and about them together. It is a story about how it all began, where they went, what they saw, who they met, what they learned and what had happened in the places they visited before they arrived. It is a story of ups and downs-literal and figurative, wise choices, outright blunders and uncanny good fortune. It is, of course, a story about motorcycles and long distance motorcycling and about one motorbike in particular - a 1137cc sports tourer-as black as a panther and as swift as the wind.This book is less of a travel guide than a tale about travelling. Most of all it is an entertainment for everyone who enjoys riding motorbikes and those who like the idea of heading off for an adventure together with someone they love astride two wheels and an engine.
Ferrari 250 GT & 250 Gt/E - A Compilation of Three Factory Manuals
152 pages and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory manuals: (1) 250GT 'Directions for the Use and Upkeep' (Italian & English language) (2) 250GT 'Spare Parts Catalogue'(Italian) (3) 250GT/E 'Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook' (English). Obviously, much of the information is also appropriate to other models in the 250 series, such as the 250GTL, 250SWB etc. After we published Jim Riff's '250GT Service & Maintenance Notes' in 2006, we began to search for additional documentation relating to this series of Ferraris and we were fortunate enough to acquire copies of the three factory manuals included in this compilation. In addition, we also located copies of the factory 'Laycock Overdrive Service Manual for the 250GTE/330GT', plus additional Weber and Marelli documentation appropriate to the 250 series which has since been appended to Jim's 2006 publication to produce a revised and expanded 2024 edition which is available under ISBN 9781588500601. Obviously, while there will be some cross-duplication of the information contained in this compilation and Jim Riff's manual, when used in conjunction with each other, they create the most comprehensive service, maintenance and overhaul manual available for the Ferrari 250 series of automobiles.Caretakers and enthusiasts of these early Ferrari automobiles may also find ISBN 9781588502728 a 'Ferrari Handbook' to be of interest. This publication contains technical data and statistics for the majority of the 1948 to 1958 Ferrari road and race cars. It also includes 60 pages of component drawings, wiring diagrams, lubrication and brake schematics, exploded views etc. for those early models. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing technical publications for your Ferrari as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'.

Automotive Upholstery & Interior Restoration
The photos in this edition are black and white. If there is one thing Ford enthusiasts have learned over the years, it's that deciphering which Ford parts work with which Ford engines is a far more difficult task than with many other engine families. Will Cleveland heads fit on my Windsor block? Can I build a stroker engine with factory parts? Can I gain compression by using older-model cylinder heads, and will it restrict flow? Is there a difference between Windsor 2-barrel and 4-barrel heads? These are just a few examples of common questions Ford fans have. These and many other questions are examined in this all-new update of a perennial best seller. Thoroughly researched and, unlike previous editions, now focused entirely on the small-block Windsor and Cleveland engine families, Ford Small Block Engine Parts Interchange includes critical information on Ford's greatest small-block engines and goes into great detail on the highly desirable high-performance hardware produced throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. By combining some of the best parts from various years, some great performance potential can be unlocked in ways Ford never offered to the general public. Following the advice in Ford Small-Block Engine Parts Interchange, these engine combinations can become reality. You will find valuable information on cranks, blocks, heads, cams, intakes, rods, pistons, and even accessories to guide you through your project. Author George Reid has once again done extensive research to accurately deliver a thorough and complete collection of Ford small-block information in this newly revised edition. Knowing what internal factory engine parts can be used across the wide range of production Ford power plants is invaluable to the hot rodder and swap meet/eBay shopper. Whether building a stroker Cleveland or a hopped-up Windsor, this book is an essential guide.

Triumph 1927-1928, Models N, NP and QA-2
Triumph Models N, NP and QA-2 1927-1928 The 1927 Model N was a logical progression from the very successful 494cc 1925/26 Model P. Basically the same engine was used with the addition of an internal "semi-automatic" oil pump along with the later evolvement of the Model P gearbox. These were placed into an updated frame with Webb single-spring forks and a brake-shoe rear hub replaced the long-used dummy belt-rim brake. The single internal band front brake remained but beaded edge tyres disappeared for ever and wired-on rims and tyres were fitted. A few other minor changes but hey presto a Model N, and another success story for Triumph. Initially announced as the Model 'N de Luxe' this was to later lead to confusion when for 1928 the machine was modernised to have a saddle tank and the updated machine was known as the 'N de Luxe', while the 'N' continued for the 1928 season but was listed as the Model NP. Consequentially in order to avoid confusion the 1927 machine has become more commonly known as the straight 'Model N' and that is the reference I shall use in this book; while the 1928-29 saddle tank Model N de Luxe is the subject of a separate book. The Model QA came in two varieties; hence my non-official naming of 'QA-2' in the book title. In 1926 a Sports version of the Model P was announced - the Model Q, and also a Super Sports - the Model QA. However, the 1926 Model QA owed more to its Model P ancestry than the Model QA of 1927, which was the sports version of the Model N. Thus this book will relate only factors relative to the 1927 Model of the QA. ---------- The early decades of the 20th century was an exciting period of innovation in automotive history when travel options were limited and the freedom of motorcycling was a real adventure.Are you are restoring one of these early Triumph motor cycle?Interested in motorcycling history?Needing the correct historical FACTS for your book or film project?Or researching aspects of your family history.Then this book, being filled with accurate technical details; images and diagrams from the period; and historical information - The FACTS - is for you.Each book within the Triumph The FACTS series, is the result of patient, dedicated and meticulous research by the author to cover a single motor cycle model, or common range, in detail.This series of The FACTS books has been titled due to a remark from someone whom Peter assisted with his restoration."Over the years many people have given me advice but you are the only one who has ever given me FACTS!" ---------- On Nov 14th 1940, the Triumph factory was destroyed in the air raid on Coventry. All records were lost of models built, their dates and total numbers.4 decades later, in the early 1980's, Peter Cornelius accepted the challenge to accurately date every pre-1940 Triumph motor cycle, and spent the following 4 decades intimately researching the details of every pre-1940 Triumph, to rediscover the 11 missing coding systems.Recognised as a global authority on Vintage Triumph motor cycles, a Marque Specialist for the Vintage Motor Cycle Club in the UK even when he emigrated to NZ, Peter is the author of 28 books on Triumph history before 1940.

PENTON - SACHS 1968-1975 BERKSHIRE & SIX DAY 100cc & 125cc WORKSHOP MANUALS
170 pages and more than 300 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of 6 publications. It includes the September 1974 workshop manual for the Penton 100cc 'Berkshire' and the 125cc 'Six Day' models plus three Penton illustrated parts lists for those same models. In addition, it also includes the 1969 Floyd Clymer 100cc and 125cc Sachs engines workshop manual plus an illustrated Sachs engine parts list.The off-road motorcycle revolution was at its peak by the mid 1960's and while the predominance of those motorcycles were imports, Maico, Hodaka, Bultaco, Husqvarna, Ducati (to name just a few) there were no USA manufacturers. This situation changed when entrepreneur John Penton struck a deal with KTM to produce a series of off-road motorcycles to his specification. This collaboration resulted in the birth of Penton motorcycles, namely the 100cc 'Berkshire' and the 125cc 'Six Day' models. Today, Penton motorcycles are highly sought after classics from the mid 1960's off-road revolution.There are few, if any, manuals that deal with the Penton-KTM-Sachs motorcycles and those that are available are lacking the detail required to repair, maintain and overhaul the Sachs engines. Floyd Clymer was the first to publish an 'in-depth' workshop manual for the 100cc and 125cc Sachs engines and it is included in this publicationThe combination of the Penton and Clymer manuals yields a comprehensive workshop manual and the inclusion of the illustrated parts list for both manufacturers will be a major assistance in the repair and/or restoration of the Penton 'Berkshire' and 'Six Day' models.Unfortunately, owners of these early Penton motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals and parts lists that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.
BMW Motorcycles 1969-1973 R50/5 R60/5 R75/5 Workshop Manual
210 pages and more than 350 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the August 1969 BMW factory workshop manual part number 01 51 9 099 051. This manual is applicable to all 1969 through 1973 BMW R50/5 R60/5 and R75/5 motorcycles. At the time of Floyd's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication. This BMW motorcycle manual is one of those previously unpublished, Floyd Clymer publications. Dated August 1969, this manual was obviously intended to be a 'follow up' from his previous 1967 BMW R50 & R26 series manual. The original 1969 'proof' copy that was included in the Floyd Clymer archives was likely finalized in early 1970. However, as the BMW /5 series of motorcycles remained in production through 1973, we are pleased to present a newly prepared edition of Floyd's work as a service to all BMW motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.Unfortunately, owners of the 1969-1973 BMW /5 series models are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling.

The supplement extends the coverage to include the 8-valve 1982 to 1983 750cc TSS and TSX models. Obviously, this manual will also be of use to owners of the 1985-1988 T140 Devon Bonneville. Unfortunately, Triumph was in deep financial trouble by mid-1982 and it is obvious that they were doing everything they could to cut costs. Consequently, the print quality of these later Triumph factory manuals was somewhat compromised by the re-use of images and text from earlier manuals. This re-use is apparent in this manual, as the quality of the images and the density of the text varies within the page and/or from one page to another. While we have done our best to 'normalize' the print density there will still be variations that were just too difficult to correct. Yet another issue associated with the mounting financial problems was the apparent scramble to introduce new models or variants of existing models in order to encourage buyers. This resulted in a proliferation of model numbers, a list of some (but likely not all) of those variants is included below: 1979 T140E, TR7V, T140D1980 T140ES1981 T140PE, TR7T, TR65 (650cc), TS8-1, Royal Bonneville.1982 TSS, TSX, TR65T.1983 TSX8, TSX4, Thunderbird 600, Daytona 600. Consequently, owners of the 1979 to 1983 models are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years. Owners of the 1973 to 1978 750cc machines are directed to workshop manual ISBN 9781588502919.
TRIUMPH 750cc TWINS 1973-1978 WORKSHOP MANUAL
222 pages and more than 200 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the 99-0983R revised 1979 edition of the May 1973 Triumph factory workshop manual. It should be noted that the original May 1973 manual, part number 99-0983 was also updated in 1978 using the same part number. However, the R suffix was added to the 1979 revision as it now included a December 1979 supplement 99-7140 for the 1979 (and later) T140E equipped with electronic ignition and the new Lucas RM24 alternator. This manual is applicable to all 1973 to 1978 750cc UK, General Export and USA twins including the T140V Bonneville, T140RV Bonneville, T140E Bonneville the TR7RV Tiger and the TR7V Tiger. As noted previously, the 11-page supplement extends the coverage to include the 1979 and later T140E models. Unfortunately, Triumph was already experiencing financial troubles and it is obvious that they were doing everything they could to cut costs. Consequently, the print quality of these later Triumph factory manuals was somewhat compromised by the re-use of images and text from earlier manuals.

Chrysler Slant Six Engines
The photos in this edition are black and white.Use expert advice to rebuild your Slant Six engine to make it run like it did on the showroom floor - or modify it to perform even better.Author Doug Dutra walks you through every aspect of disassembly, evaluation, rebuild, and reassembly in an easy-to-read, step-by-step format. The book also covers modifications, showing how to squeeze the most out of your engine. The year 1960 was an important one in auto manufacturing; it was the year all of the Big Three unveiled entrants in a new class of car called the compact. Chrysler's offering, the Plymouth Valiant, was paired with its redesigned 6-cylinder engine entrant, the Slant Six, known by its nickname the "leaning tower of power." This engine powered the Valiants when they swept the top seven positions in the newly christened compact race that precluded the Daytona 500. With its legacy intact, Chrysler's Slant Six-powered Mopar automobiles were offered for decades to come in three displacement offerings (170, 198, 225). With millions of Slant Six engines built over the 30-plus years that the engine was produced, it's always a good idea to have this book handy, as you never know when the next "leaning tower of power" will find its way into your garage.
Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s
The 1990s was the last 'golden era' of motorcycling in Britain - certainly for today's nostalgia-driven 50-something bikers. Ground-breaking sports bikes included the likes of Honda's original FireBlade, Yamaha's R1 and Ducati's iconic 916, with Britain's Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty taking the latter to glory in the new World Superbike championship. A new breed of 'hyperbike', led by Kawasaki's 178mph ZZ-R1100 then Honda's CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and Suzuki's Hayabusa, took performance higher than ever before. While it was also the decade that saw the return of historic British brand Triumph, Ducati's novel Monster 900, Honda's oval-pistoned NR750 and Yamaha's wacky hub-centre GTS1000. All of these and many, many more are remembered and celebrated in Phil West's fascinating book.

This manual takes the reader step by step through the fuel injection system and the retrofitting of a TPI system to a typical Chevy small block motor. Covers 1985 to 1992 TPI systems.
TRIUMPH 1956-1962 PRE-UNIT 650cc & 500cc TWINS - FACTORY MANUAL No.17
192 pages and more than 70 illustrations and charts, size 6.625 x 10.25 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the Triumph Factory Manual No.17 for the 1956 to 1962 pre-unit 650cc and 500cc twins.The original manual states 'From Engine No.0945 and D101 September 1956 Onwards' the later reprint of this same manual states '1956 to 1962 inclusive' which would include the 650cc and 500cc pre-unit swing-arm twins built between September 1956 and August 1962. These would be the final pre-unit model years ending with the introduction of the unit-construction models identified by the DU engine number prefix.Owners of the earlier 650cc and 500cc pre-unit models are directed to Triumph Factory Manual No.11 ISBN 97815885002865, which covers the 1945 through 1955 models. Owners of the unit-construction 650cc and 500cc twins from 1962 through 1970 require the Triumph Factory Manual ISBN 9781588502667.THE VARIOUS 1945 to 1970 650cc & 500cc MANUALS EXPLAINED1945-1962 PRE-UNIT MANUALS: The original small format (51/2' x 81/2") stapled booklet style Manual No.11 covered the 1945 to 1955 rigid frame, sprung hub and swing-arm twins and remained in print under part number 99-0836 (ISBN 9781588502865) through the mid 1960's.Manual No.11 was superseded by Manual No.17 (Ref. 800/62) which was ultimately reprinted (without modifications) under part number 99-0837 (ISBN 9781588502872). It includes coverage for the last of the pre-unit (swing-arm only) 650cc and 500cc models from September 1956 up to August 1962.1963-1970 UNIT-CONSTRUCTION MANUALS: Manuals for these models commenced with the publication of a large format (81/2" x 11") 3-ring bound, manual part number 99-0883 that covered the 1963 (September 1962) through the 1968 unit-construction models.The 99-0883 manual was subsequently updated by the publication of part number 99-0889 which was unique to the 1969 and 1970 models. Ultimately, both of these manuals were merged under part number 99-0883/0889 (ISBN 9781588502667) as a single manual covering the 1963 through 1970 models.Unfortunately, owners of pre-1970 Triumph motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling.

Triumph Motorcycles 1937-1961 Single Cylinder Workshop Manual - All Models 1937-1945 Plus Terrier & Tiger Cub 1953-1961
204 pages and more than 100 illustrations and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under a similar title, this publication is a faithful reproduction of the A. St. J. Masters 1961 5th edition of the 1937-1961 Triumph Single Cylinder workshop manual published in the USA by Floyd Clymer under arrangement with the original publishers C. Arthur Pearson Ltd. of London UK.There are very few workshop manuals that deal with the early single-cylinder Triumph motorcycles. This is likely due to the fact that in 1945 at the end of WW2 when Triumph resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles they discontinued the manufacture of single-cylinder machines. From that point onwards, they concentrated on their twin-cylinder models and it was not until 1952 that Triumph announced another single, the 150cc T15 Terrier.SINGLE CYLINDER - ALL MODELS 1937-1945: When this manual was originally published in 1949 its primary focus was on the 1937 to 1945 single cylinder motorcycles which included a war-surplus market that was well stocked with ex-military singles. Models covered are: 2H, 2HC, 3S, 3SE, 3SW, 3H, 3HW, 5S, 5SE, 5SW, 5H, 6S, T70, T80 & T90. The bulk of these machines were based on a design that dates back to 1934, which also makes this manual of use to owners of those earlier Triumph singles.TERRIER & TIGER CUB 1953-1961: Ultimately, the 1961 5th edition of this manual was revised and expanded to include the 1953-1961 Terrier and Tiger Cub models. The information included is appropriate for all T15, T20, T20C & T20S models fitted with an external distributor. The engine section includes the 1960 change to energy transfer ignition, plus the change at engine number 57617, when the split line between the main castings was moved to the center line of the cylinder.Many Triumph enthusiasts consider that the 'external distributor' Tiger Cub models brought the 'true' Triumph single cylinder line to a conclusion. This is further supported by the fact that the final workshop manual for the T15, T20, T20C & T20S published under the Triumph name was the August 1964 manual No.8 (part number 906/64) which only included the external distributor models. In addition, under BSA ownership, the Tiger Cub engine had previously been utilized as the basis for the 1959 BSA C15 and ultimately by the BSA 'Bantam Cub' series from 1966 onwards.Unfortunately, Triumph motorcycle owners are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'!

TRIUMPH 1957-1963 UNIT-CONSTRUCTION 350cc & 500cc TWINS - FACTORY MANUAL No.4 UP TO ENGINE No.H29733
180 pages and more than 70 illustrations and charts, size 6.625 x 10.25 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the Triumph Factory manual No.4 (Ref. 26/67) published in May 1967 for the 1957 to 1963 unit-construction 350cc and 500cc twins.The original publication states 'Up to Engine No.H29733' which would include the 350cc and 500cc unit-construction twins built between 1957 and 1963. In addition, this coverage is confirmed by the statement 'Up to and including 1963' printed to the bottom of the original front cover. However, Triumph also included a supplement for the T100SS, from engine No.H25252 (1962 onwards) and the T90, from engine No.H29733 (1963 onwards).This addition of a later model supplement can create confusion in the selection of an appropriate manual as some of the models covered by this earlier manual, remained in production up through the mid to late 1960's. However, Triumph owners should be guided by the statement 'Up to and including 1963' on the front cover and owners of Triumph models from engine No. H29733 (1963 onwards) are directed to the later manual ISBN 9781588502674, which actually picks up where this manual leaves off, and provides coverage for the 350cc and 500cc unit-construction twins from 1963 through 1974. THE VARIOUS 1957 to 1974 350cc & 500cc MANUALS EXPLAINED1957-1963 MODELS: The original small format (51/2' x 81/2") stapled booklet style manual No.4 (Ref. 26/67) that included coverage for the 350cc and 500cc unit-construction models from 1957 up to engine No.H29733 (1963), was ultimately superseded with the publication of a large format (81/2" x 11") 3-ring bound, manual part number 99-0843. The 99-0843 manual was somewhat of an oddball as it included a statement to the title page that it covered from engine No.H65573 (1969). Apparently, this publication was intended to cover the 1969 to 1971 models only, as a subsequent manual, issued in 1971, included data for the earlier models.1963-1971 MODELS: In August 1971, the 99-0843 manual was subsequently merged with manual number 99-0948 under part number 99-0843/0948 with backdated coverage from engine No.H29733 (1963). As the 99-0948 manual was published in August 1971 but coverage was retroactive to 1963, it is obvious that Triumph had compiled the data from the earlier manuals and merged them into a single 1963 to 1971 publication. 1963-1974 MODELS: The final version of this manual included a supplement 99-0950 that extended coverage through the 1974 model year. This supplement was merged with the previous 1971 publication and issued under part number 99-0843/0948/0950. The supplement was appended such that 'Section A' is followed by a 'Section AA' supplement, 'Section B' by a 'Section BB' supplement etc. etc. This manual both backdates and extends coverage and is the most comprehensive manual for the 1963 to 1974 series of 350cc and 500cc unit-construction twins. It is available under ISBN 9781588502674.

This publication is a faithful reproduction of the Triumph Factory Manual No.11 for the 1945 to 1955 pre-unit 650cc, 500cc and 350cc twins.This manual covers the rigid frame, sprung hub and swing-arm models constructed from 1945 through 1955, it also includes a supplement for the 1945-1951 Triumph 3T. Owners of these earlier models should be aware that when the later 1956 to 1962 continuation manual No.17 was published the data for the sprung hub and 3T models was deleted. Owners of the later 650cc and 500cc pre-unit models are directed to Triumph Factory Manual No.17 ISBN 9781588502872, which covers the September 1956 through August 1962 models.

The 99-0883 manual was subsequently updated by the publication of part number 99-0889 which was unique to the 1969 and 1970 models. Ultimately, both of these manuals were merged under part number 99-0883/0889 (ISBN 9781588502667) as a single manual covering the 1963 through 1970 models.

ROYAL ENFIELD 1956-1966 250cc CRUSADER SERIES & 350cc ’NEW BULLET’ FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUAL & PARTS MANUAL
154 pages and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is appropriate for the entire line of 1956 through 1966 Royal Enfield four and five speed 250cc single cylinder 'Crusader' series plus the 350cc 'New Bullet' model. It will also be of use to owners of the 250cc Enfield Indian 'Fire Arrow' and 'Hounds Arrow'.A compilation of three factory publications: (1) a reproduction of the original March 1968 printing of the Factory Workshop Manual for the 'Crusader' series which covers the 1956-1962 'Crusader', the 1958-1965 'Clipper', the 1959-1966 'Crusader Sports', the 1961-1963 'Crusader Super 5', the 1961-1963 'Trails', the 1962-1966 'Continental' and the 1963-1966 'New Bullet' 350cc. Also included is (2) a 1961 illustrated parts manual for the 'Crusader' series, plus (3) a 1962 illustrated parts supplement.350cc 'NEW BULLET' PRODUCTION DETAILS: First introduced in 1963, this 350cc model was based on the 'Crusader'. The 350cc engine can be identified by its 10 fin barrel as compared to the 8 fin barrel of the 250cc models however; it also featured revised internals, a strengthened gearbox and Clipper style forks and, in 1964, it received a new silencer and fuel tank. The knowledgeable historians appear to agree that production ran from January 1963 to August 1965 which makes 1966 as the final model year. However, due to a number of different reasons, production numbers are inconclusive, as it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a consistent pattern and, at times, was somewhat random. Consequently, there is some disagreement on the total production with less than 250 units, the most commonly quoted number.Royal Enfield was very adept at utilizing components across their entire model line and this 'sharing' carried over into their workshop manuals. Consequently, many of the sections and illustrations are identified as being appropriate for various models and not necessarily specific to the particular model referenced in the manual title.

Mopeds, scooters, and other fuel-efficient automobiles
Petrol prices are higher currently than they have ever been. People are spending twice as much a gallon in many places as they did two years ago. Information that prices will only rise more is making the rounds in the news and online. Many customers are rather concerned about this because they are unsure of what to do. They most definitely cannot afford to keep only paying the advertised amount at the petrol pumps. Nevertheless, they are unable to give up their everyday activities that include using a car, such as travelling to work. More fuel-efficient cars are a smart strategy that more and more people are gravitating towards. These can use less petrol to get you where you need to go.

234 pages and more than 300 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a reproduction of the original Floyd Clymer 100cc and 125cc Sachs Engine workshop manual. However, it has been updated with a 1974 illustrated 'List of Spares' for the 100cc and 125cc Sachs engines. In addition, it includes a 1968 illustrated 'Spare Parts List' for the 1968 to 1971 Sachs 'Enduro', 'Cross Country' and 'Moto Cross' motorcycles that was omitted from the later editions. It has also been expanded to include maintenance and repair data for both the leading link and telescopic fork variants of the 1971 to 1975 Sachs/DKW 'Enduro', 'Boondocker', 'Moto-Cross' and 'Hornet' motorcycles plus a 1972 illustrated 'Spare Parts List' for those models.Obviously, this manual evolved in part due to the Sachs acquisition of both Hercules motorcycles in the late 1950's and DKW in 1966. However, it will also be of use to owners of any other motorcycles that utilized this series of 100cc and 125cc Sachs engines.After the end of World War II, several motorcycle manufacturers were merged or absorbed under the Sachs banner and, in 1968 Sachs introduced their 100cc and 125cc 'Enduro', 'Cross Country' and 'Moto Cross' motorcycles for sale in the USA. The significance of the Sachs, Hercules and DKW mergers would soon become apparent as, while the Sachs motorcycles carried the 'Sachs' logo on the engine case, they featured a 'Hercules' identification plate on the steering head. In addition, Sachs ultimately decided to market their 'Enduros' and 'Scramblers' under the DKW badge and the original Sachs 'Enduro', 'Cross Country' and 'Moto Cross' models disappeared from the USA market in late 1971. However, they were replaced by 125cc DKW 'Enduro', 'Boondocker', 'Moto-Cross' and 'Hornet' models that were mechanically identical to the previous Sachs models, a true case of badge engineering.In 1968 when Sachs introduced their 100cc and 125cc series of 2-stroke engines it was not long before the 'off road' and 'competition' world recognized their durability and performance. Consequently, within a short period of time Sachs engines were in use by a large number of other motorcycle manufacturers. Perhaps the most prominent USA manufacturer being Penton Motorcycles who produced their first competition Sachs powered models in 1968. Floyd Clymer quickly realized that there was a need for service and repair information for these engines and he set about preparation of an appropriate manual in early 1969.
Honda 1972-1977 4-Cylinder Cb350f & Cb400f Workshop Manual
114 pages, and more than 340 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is a faithful reproduction of the original Honda Factory Manual for the CB350F and the CB400F four-cylinder models manufactured from 1972 through 1977. The original CB350F released in 1972 ultimately morphed into the 1975 CB400F and the original 'base' CB350F workshop manual was expanded, by the factory, to include a supplement for the CB400F model.Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the common 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' or occasionally 'F0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as either K or F 1, 2, 3, etc. While the alpha number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB400F'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries, that same model would be identified as either a CB400K2 or CB400F1. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the entire 1972 through 1977 range of 350cc and 400cc four-cylinder models.Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies, errors and incorrect spelling that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.
ROYAL ENFIELD 500cc TWINS 1948-1963 500 TWIN, METEOR MINOR SPORTS, DE LUXE & STANDARD FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUALS
190 pages and more than 170 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is appropriate for the entire line of 1948 through 1963 Royal Enfield 500cc twins. It will also be of use to owners of the 500cc Enfield Indian Tomahawk. A compilation of two factory manuals, it includes the original 1948 to 1958 '500 Twin' workshop manual plus the later workshop manual for the 1958 to 1963 'Meteor Minor' Sports, De Luxe and Standard Models. PRODUCTION DETAILS: Due to a number of different reasons, there is some confusion surrounding production details, as it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a consistent pattern and, at times, was somewhat random.As the '500 Twin' shared many of its mechanical components with the 'Meteor 700', the earlier manual is appropriate for both of these models. Royal Enfield was very adept at utilizing components across their entire model line and this 'sharing' carried over into their workshop manuals. Consequently, many of the sections and illustrations are identified as being appropriate for various models and not necessarily specific to the particular model referenced in the manual title. The second manual is much more specific to the 'Meteor Minor' and its variants. The only noticeable 'shared' pages are the carburetter settings table and the frame and special tools sections. However, it also includes a 'Airflow' fairing section which is applicable to all models that had that option available. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the various models, the reader is encouraged to review any of the appropriate sections in order to eliminate the possibility of referencing an incorrect 'shared' section.

Harley-Davidson Performance Bagger
The first motorcycle that you can call a Bagger showed up in the show rooms in 1980.That new frame was longer, and the motor and transmission were mounted on rubber mounts. Those first Baggers came with Shovels, followed by Evos, but no one called those Performance Baggers. The Twin Cam motors came next, and they were definitely faster, but the phrase Performance Bagger still didn't come into use until the M8 came on the scene. This book brings you a detailed look at these new M-8 Baggers, and the Twin Cams that proceeded. The book includes interviews with people like Rick Ward and Bert Baker. Builders who spent a lifetime getting more horsepower and improving the drivetrain. For advice on brakes and suspension, we have information from the staff of Beringer and Ohlins. In addition to the techs and experts, the bulk of the pages are filled with pictures and the story of true Performance Baggers owned by regular riders - on Road Glide and Street Glide. Each of those stories cover the motors, the drivetrain and the chassis. Some went all the way with a 143 cubic inch M-8 with a blower, motors well over 200 horsepower. Other owners simply installed bigger jugs, ported heads, a good dyno run and settled for something like 140 or 150 horses. The same goes with the chassis: new shocks and replaced (or upgraded) fork assemblies. For brakes maybe they install new front rotors and retain the factory calipers or replace all the components. What they did or didn't do is a lesson to readers in all the possible modifications. Written by Timothy Remus with help with experienced builders and experienced owners, H-D Performance Bagger is a high-quality guide for anyone with a late model Bagger or plans to buy that new Bagger.
