The Ducati 860, 900 and Mille Bible
The bevel-drive 860 and 900 was one of the most significant motorcycles of the late 1970s, providing a unique combination of power and handling that was unequalled by other motorcycles at the time. When Italian car stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro penned the 860GT in 1973, few would have believed it would evolve into one of the greatest Ducati line-ups of all time. The square-case 860 became the legendary 900 Super Sport, the Darmah, and eventually the Mike Hailwood Replica, built to honour Hailwood's spectacular comeback victory at the Isle of Man in 1978. The square-case Ducati engine design continued for more than a decade, sustaining the company through a downturn in the early 1980s. This book covers every incarnation of this great model, from the first 860 through to the final Mille. Illustrated with 200 pictures, and including complete appendices of technical specifications, this book is a must-have for any lover of fine motorcycles.Ian Falloon brings a wealth of experience to this book; he is the author of numerous publications on motorcycles, many of them Ducati, including The Ducati 750 Bible, The Ducati Monster Bible, Ducati 916, and the Ducati Story (now in it's 6th edition). He has a small collection of classic sporting motorcycles, including a 1975 Ducati 900 Super Sport.

The Complete Book of Police and Military Motorcycles
This is a reprint of The Complete Book of Police and Military Motorcycles originally published in 2001. From Pittsburgh's adoption of motorcycles for police use in 1909 to General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing's motorized pursuit of Pancho Villa into Mexican territory in 1916 to the deployment of motorcycles in both world wars, this book tells the fascinating tale of these magnificent machines from their 20th century beginnings to their current use by police departments and militaries throughout the world.Joseph Berk explores the history of their manufacture by Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, BMW, and others, from marketing strategy to product evolution. In addition, he gives the reader an exclusive inside look at how specific police departments from Atlanta to Los Angeles determine which make and model to adopt, complete with critiques of the "Big Three" police models used in the United States from officerswho have put them to the test. Berk's detailed look at the intensive 10-day training program LAPD motor officers undergo is a testament to the carefully honed, specialized skills motor officers bring to their work, and lively discussions with individual officers about how they put their machines to work on the streets on a day-to-day basis offer a unique personalized perspective. Completing the picture, Berk examines the use of motorcycles in combat, detailing the specific makes and models used by Special Forces and other military units from World War I through the turn of the century and beyond.
Triumph 1928-1929, Models N de Luxe and NL
Triumph Models N de Luxe and NL Probably best remembered as Triumph's first saddle-tank model the 1928 Model N de Luxe actually heralded a new style of Triumph motor cycle. With its much lower riding position, compared with its forerunners, the Models P and N, it feels really 'sporty' and the riders of the period must have felt that they were 'leaders of the pack'.Although, by name, a "de luxe" version of the 1927 Model N, and the motive power still basically the reliable and very successful 494cc of the 1925/26 Model P, I have found the difference in riding is chalk and cheese; with the N de Luxe qualifying as the best British cheddar. This difference starts from the time one wheels the machine from the garage, and in my garage the 1927 Model P and the 1928 N de Luxe reside side by side. Being so much smaller with its lower frame the machine is wheeled without effort. For the same reason mounting and dismounting is no problem. It should go without saying that starting is with the normal Triumph ease.That period between start and finish is most pleasurable. It must be the frame, but vibration is much reduced from that apparent with the same engined Model P, handling is no problem and corners are taken with ease.If you are suspecting that I believe that the 1928-29 Model N de Luxe / NL is one of Triumph's best; you would be right!I have only one complaint regarding my Model N de Luxe, and it's a problem which probably won't affect most other owners. Since the machine is such a pleasure to handle and ride I actually get little opportunity to do so; for my wife prefers it to her 1955 Tiger Cub. So although it is seen regularly on the road - it's not with me on it! ---------- 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.
Triumph 1925-1927, Models P, Q and QA-1
Triumph Models P, Q and QA-1The Model P is probably the best known Triumph of the vintage period. With almost 50,000 made, and sales round the world it is one of the most numerous Triumphs still surviving a century later. Spares are fairly easy to come by and as a 'no frills' machine what is not found at swap meets is not difficult to reproduce. The Model P was followed by two Sports versions, the Model Q and an overseas Super Sports Model QA.There was also later, a 1927 Model QA. This was different to the 1926 model, being closer to the 1927 Model N; hence my 'QA-1' in the booklet title. References in this booklet to the Model QA will relate only to the 1926 Model. Much has been written of the Model P in books and magazines. Some is true, some is fiction and some is very inaccurate. It seems that while there may be many who write, it appears that few are historians.In one book, one reads that the Model P "was a disaster for Triumph". However nothing could be further from the truth for the Model P was Triumph's saviour at a time when they, like most of the motor cycle manufacturers, were in financial trouble - the mid-1920s, due to the post-war boom having fizzled out, castings strikes stifling production, plus not least of all, the fact that the Austin Seven car was available for around 瞿25 more than a motor cycle and sidecar and in 1924 more cars were registered in Britain than motor cycles. Triumph's profit had fallen dramatically for 1924. Triumph decided that the way out of the industry's recession was to work, and sell, their way out in a similar manner to when Herbert Austin had previously dropped the intended price of the Austin Seven from 瞿225 to 瞿165, causing them to sell like hot cakes. So Triumph needed a new machine with a rock bottom price.Thus was born the idea of a 'lightweight' 500cc model capable of solo use, yet with power to haul a sidecar with ease, and capable of easily being modified to provide a 'sports' version for those who desired such a machine. Without frills the Model P was not only lightweight, but also capable of being assembled easily and quickly, so plans were made for the Works to be able to produce a large number of machines in a relatively short space of time. ---------- 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.

Book of the Bond Minicar Three Wheeler 1948-1967 Mark A Through G
128 pages, with more than 90 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under the similar title The Book of Bond Minicar by R.H. Warring, this book is one of a series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England. This re-print of the revised 1968 third edition includes repair, maintenance and overhaul information for the Bond Mark A, B, C, D, E, F and G models from their 1948 introduction through September 1967. While the primary focus is on those models powered by Villiers engines, technical data for the 875 and 875 Ranger models is also included. The entire content of this publication is devoted to the operation, maintenance, overhaul and adjustment of all the major mechanical and electrical components. Consequently, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete renovation. In addition, there is also a comprehensive chapter on modifications for the Mark A, B and C models and information on body repair. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Bond Minicar owners, restorers and enthusiasts worldwide.
Puch Maxi ’n’ & ’s’ a Compilation of 3 Major Overhaul, Repair and Maintenance Publications
212 pages, with more that 140 illustrations and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Perhaps the most complete publication ever published for the overhaul, repair and maintenance of the Puch Maxi 'N' and 'S' models beginning with their 1969 UK introduction. This manual is a compilation of 3 major publications including: (1) A reprint of the 1974 edition of 'The Book of the Puch Maxi' (2) A reproduction of the 1977 Maxi factory 'Instructions Manual' and (3) a reproduction of the illustrated1976 Rigid, Maxi, Maxi-S and Newport factory 'Spare Parts Catalogue'. The Maxi moped was sold in the US by Sears and JC Penney and in Canada by Bombardier. While the primary focus of this manual is the single-speed 'N' and 'S' models there were only minor mechanical changes made during the entire production run up through the mid 1980's and, as such, it will also be of use to owners of the later single speed models. Please note that the reprint of the 'Book of the Puch Maxi' (originally published under the same title by R. H. Warring) is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.
Jeep CJ 1972-1986
The photos in this edition are black and white.Build and modify your Jeep CJ to unlock its full potential with instruction from Jeep guru Michael Hanssen.In Jeep CJ 1972-1986: How to Build & Modify, Michael covers all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your Jeep's performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs, shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and more.Identifying the Jeep CJ series vehicles as the most popular off-road vehicles of all time may actually qualify as an understatement. They really are that popular. The CJ series arguably started after World War II with the CJ-2A being introduced to the masses, and while the early CJs have their share of enthusiasts, the largest group of enthusiasts began their love affair with the AMC-powered Jeep CJ-5s beginning in 1972. Joined by the longer-wheelbase CJ-7 models introduced in 1976, the CJ models were wildly popular through their discontinuation in 1986, when the Wrangler was introduced. These were the only models originally equipped with V-8 engines in any meaningful way. This era combined the ruggedness of the early Jeeps with some of the advancements and horsepower of a more modern era; it makes a platform that is both fun to own and to modify.Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to make your classic CJ a little more fun, this book will be a valuable tool in your shop or library.

BSA ’Service Sheets’ Master Catalogue for All Models 1945 to 1967
More than 550 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that BSA never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public, they were 'dealer only' publications and the print quality was at times somewhat questionable. It was not until the early 1960's that BSA eventually started publishing model specific workshop manuals that were available to the general public. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the mid 1960's. The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ringbinder that contained 166 individual service sheets (516 pgs) for the entire range of 1945 thru 1967 motorcycles. It is extremely difficult to find. It is this ring-bound publication that was used to create this 'Service Sheets Master Catalogue'. It includes every service sheet issued/updated by BSA from 1945 until the Service Sheet program was discontinued in the mid 1960's, models covered are as follows: A7 & A10 1947-62B31-B32-B33 and B34 1945-60 (Inc. Gold Star & competition models)C10-C10L-C11-C11G and C12 1945-58C15-C15T-C15S-C15SS and B40 1958-67D1-D3-D5 and D7 (Bantam) 1948-66M20-M21 and M33 1945-63Dandy 1956-62 At some point in the 1930's, BSA adopted the practice of identifying their various model types by 'groups' and the models manufactured from 1945 through the mid 1960's were in Groups A, B, C, D and M. The service sheets that were associated to a particular group were identified numerically and, while there were some exceptions due to overlapping data between models, in general terms the numbers relate to a particular model group. They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups. Finally, there were a 900 series for the BSA Dandy and a 1000 series for the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress scooter. The 1000 series sheets were published under the generic title, 'Scooter Service Sheet'. These sheets did not display either company logo and they were never intended to be included in the ring-bound dealer album. Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, owners of BSA motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the online marketplace. 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 are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles.
BSA Sunbeam & Triumph Tigress Scooter 1959-1965 Workshop Manual
190 pages, and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory publications including the owner's instruction manual, the parts/spares manual and a set of service sheets. These publications cover all three variations of the 175cc two-stroke and the 250cc four-stroke and electric start models manufactured from 1959-1965. Neither BSA nor Triumph ever published a workshop manual for these models, however, the combination of these three publications provides the most comprehensive maintenance and repair information that was ever made available from the manufacturer.MANUALS & TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS: Maintenance, repair and service information was issued under both the BSA and Triumph name. However, as the machines were identical in all aspects, any technical documentation can be applied to either manufacturer without hesitation.SERVICE SHEETS: Beginning in December 1959, both BSA and Triumph began publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual (dealer only) 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that it was never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public. However, they were eventually combined into a single publication and released under both the BSA and Triumph names, the contents being identical in either case. INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Both BSA and Triumph published an identical 'Instruction Manual' the only difference being the name on the front cover. These publications were somewhat more detailed than typical 'owner's manuals' as they included overhaul information in addition to general maintenance and adjustments. As these instruction manuals were included with each new scooter purchased, there were a number of 'editions' published during the lifetime of the model, however, the contents remained basically unchanged. When combined with the 'Service Sheets' they are a reasonable substitute for a workshop manual. PARTS (or) SPARES MANUAL: The parts manuals are also identical and include exploded component diagrams that are extremely helpful in the rebuilding or restoration process.ADDITIONAL DATA: There is an addendum to the rear of this manual that contains a number of communications that were sent from the UK factory to their US distributors. These documents are somewhat rare and they may be of help in assisting in the maintenance of one of these machines.DESIGN & GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: Designed by Edward Turner (Triumph) and sold under both BSA and Triumph brand names to take advantage of established distribution networks, this badge engineering was one of the last uses of the Sunbeam name. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic-the former in polychromatic green paint, also two-tone red and cream, with a BSA badge; the latter in a shell blue or mimosa and ivory (two-tone) with a Triumph badge.Introduced in late 1959, the scooter was available with a 250 cc four-stroke twin (10hp), or 175cc two-stroke single cylinder engine (7.5hp). Both engines were forced-air-cooled. The two-stroke was a development of the BSA Bantam engine but the four-stroke was a completely new parallel-twin with a gear drive to the gearbox. The contact-breaker fed two separate ignition coils, each of which connected directly to its own spark plug without the need for a distributor. Drive to the rear wheel was by a fully enclosed chain in an oil bath. Both versions had four, foot-operated gears. Some of the 250 twins were fitted with an electric starter and a 12 volt (not 6 volt) electrical system, they were identified as either B2S (Sunbeam) or TW2S (Triumph). The 250 cc four-stroke model was discontinued in 1964 and the 175cc two-stroke model in 1965.
1962-1965 BSA A50 & A65 Factory Workshop Manual Unit-Construction Twins
252 pages, and more than 240 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the 1962-1965 BSA Factory Workshop Manual part number 00-4113 that covers the A50 (500cc) and A65 (650cc) unit-construction twins manufactured between August 1961 through the end of July 1965. It should be noted that BSA model years ran from August through July. For example, the 1962 models were released in August 1961, the 1963 models in August 1962 etc. This can, at times, cause confusion and the only sure method of determining 'what year is it?' is by the serial number.

Jeep Wrangler JK 2007 - Present
The photos in this edition are black and white. A full complement of heavy-duty suspension, chassis, steering, drivetrain, and high-performance engine parts has been developed for this platform. Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-Present: Performance Upgrades co-authors Don Alexander and Quinn Thomas offer guidance for making those modifications. Lift kits from 1.75 to 5 inches are available, so you can fit off-road wheels and tires for exceptional traction. Suspension springs, specially calibrated coilover shocks, and sway bars must work in concert to provide the correct suspension articulation and ride quality to scale obstacles and negotiate terrain. To increase durability and essential reliability, pitman arms, drop links, driveline parts, steering boxes, and skid plates are examined. Because the drivetrain must be ready for off-road service, the authors cover the most rugged and reliable axle assemblies available. Exhaust, intake, and electronic engine mapping upgrades make the Jeep 3.6- and 3.8-liter V-6 engines much more potent. This book also includes information on swapping GM LS and new Hemi engines into the JK for vastly improved performance.Since its release in 2007, the JK has become wildly popular and nearly 1 million units have been sold in North America. With a wider track and longer wheelbase, the Wrangler JK is roomier, more comfortable, and delivers better on-road performance than its predecessor. However, it needs serious chassis, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades to tackle demanding off-road terrain and rock crawling.If you believe that paved roads are simply access-ways to the open range, you and your JK need this book. It contains the valuable information to convert any mild-mannered street vehicle into an all-conquering off-road rig. Whether it's lift kits, wheels, tires, drivetrain, or suspension and engine parts, this volume provides detailed information and insightful guidance so you can build an off-road JK to handle the toughest terrain.
Swap LS Engines into Chevelles & GM A-Bodies
The photos in this edition are black and white. Make swapping a GM LS Engine into your 1964-1972 Chevelle or other GM A-Body as smooth as possible by learning the essential procedures, solutions to common problems, and time-saving techniques.Jefferson Bryant, author of LS Swaps: How To Swap GM LS Engines into Almost Anything, has performed many LS swaps throughout his career and has transplanted the LS into several A-Body cars. In this comprehensive guide, he provides detailed step-by-step instructions for installing an LS powerplant into a Chevelle, Buick GS, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Pontiac GTO. To successfully install an LS engine, you need to select or fabricate motor mounts and adapter plates to mount the engine to the chassis. Also, you need to integrate the electronic engine controls and wiring harness to the A-Body car. If you run a fuel-injection system, a new tank or high-pressure fuel pump, fuel lines, and related equipment must be installed. Bryant covers all of these crucial steps and much more. In addition, he performs a new LT swap into an A-Body car. The GM LS engine has revolutionized the muscle car and the high-performance V-8 market. It has become a favorite engine to swap into classic cars because it offers a superior combination of horsepower, torque, and responsiveness in a compact package. As such, these modern pushrod V-8 engines are installed in vintage GM muscle cars with relative ease, and that includes Chevelles and other popular GM A-Body cars. In fact, General Motors manufactured about 500,000 Chevelles and A-Body cars between 1968 and 1970 alone.Swapping an LS engine into an A-Body is made much easier with a comprehensive guidebook such as this, whether you plan on doing it yourself or decide to have a shop do it for you. A huge and thriving aftermarket provides a wide range of suspension, brake, steering, chassis, and other parts that produce functional improvements. Before you tackle your LS Swap project, arm yourself with this vital information to guide you through the process.
TM 9-2320-289-34 CUCV Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle Direct Support / General Support Manual May 1992 w/Change 1&2
The CUCV or Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle is a US Military vehicle based on readily available commercial trucks. Originally intended to augment the purpose-built, but expensive GAMA Goat 6x6 and older Jeeps. The first generation was based on Dodge / Chrysler trucks.This book is focused on the M1008 series second generation CUCV which was General Motor's first major light-truck military vehicle production since World War II. They began production in 1984 and ended production in 1996 with most units being produced as 1984 model year units. Later production was focused on replacements for existing CUCV's. The majority of units were built from existing heavy duty light truck commercial parts. The M1009 was an upgraded/up-rated Chevy K5 Blazer with a 3/4 ton capacity. The M1008 series trucks were a 1-1/4 ton or 5/4 ton rated truck. In all 70,000 units were produced with three power trains.This manual is the Direct Supprot and General Support repair instructions for these vehicles. It is published as a convenience to enthusiasts who may wish to have a quality professionally printed copy of the manual. This publisher has also printed other manuals for this series of vehicles.
The Norton Commando Bible
A detailed history of the Norton Commando: its antecedents, development, and year-by-year production changes, including the turbulent story of the company that built it, bringing the story right up to the present day.This book also includes expert advice on owning and maintaining one of these iconic bikes, as well as information on clubs, websites and spares.Featuring great colour photos, including original advertising material, and comprehensive appendices of facts, figures, contacts, technical specifications, engine/frame numbers, and road test performance figures, this is the definitive book of a bike that truly deserves the term 'classic.'
Jeep TJ 1997-2006
The photos in this edition are black and white.Everything necessary to modify your Jeep TJ for off-road use is covered in Jeep TJ 1997-2006: How to Build & Modify.Beginning with why you should choose a TJ for modification, Jeep expert Michael Hanssen takes you through all the different systems needing modification, including engine modifications and swaps, transmission swaps, transfer case and driveshafts modifications, axles and traction systems, suspensions and lifts, wheels, tires, brakes, chassis protection, electrical, and winches. The Jeep CJ, the icon that started it all, is the most popular off-road vehicle of all time. The look, style, and functionality of the CJ made it instantly popular and recognizable the world over, in no doubt partly due to its military presence in World War II. The Jeep Wrangler platform had the difficult task of replacing the extremely popular CJ platform. Outwardly similar in appearance, the YJ, TJ, and JK that followed all had significant design improvements, as can be expected when a platform has a life span of more than five decades. The YJ was the first Chrysler release after it purchased AMC in the mid-1980s, and it was aimed at taming the original CJ for more comfort and, arguably, a larger audience. The TJ that followed next was an evolutionary update, significant in that it featured a coil spring suspension and the celebrated return of round headlights for a more traditional look compared to the square lights of the YJ. Included in every chapter are step-by-step modification instructions to help walk you through the process. If you want to build a TJ for serious off-road trail use, or you just want a capable and great-looking Jeep for around town, this book has you covered.
BSA C10-C10l-C11-C11g-C12 ’Service Sheets’ 1945-1958 for All Pre-Unit S.V. and O.H.V. Rigid, Spring Frame and Swing Arm Models
222 pages, and more than 250 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches.In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. These sheets were 'dealer only' publications and, as such, the print quality was at times somewhat questionable. It was not until the early 1960's that BSA eventually started publishing model specific workshop manuals that were available to the general public. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the early 1960's.At some point in the 1930's, BSA adopted the practice of identifying their various model types by 'groups' and the models manufactured from 1945 through the mid 1960's were in Groups A, B, C, D and M. The service sheets that were associated to a particular group were identified numerically and, while there were some exceptions due to overlapping data between models, in general terms the numbers relate to a particular model group. They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups.Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, assembling those individual sheets into a publication that serves as a model specific workshop manual is a somewhat difficult task and owners of BSA motor cycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. 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 of motorcycles.The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ring binder that contained all of the individual service sheets totaling to almost 500 pages, it is extremely scarce and difficult to find. This manual contains 63 service sheets (210 pages) extracted from that 'dealer only' publication, which cover the pre-unit 1945 to 1958 rigid and spring frame C10, C10L, C11, C11G and the 1956 to 1958 swing arm C12. Obviously, as the C10 was introduced in 1938 this manual will also be of use to owners of those earlier models. Please note that service sheets other than those in the 400 series that are included in this publication may also contain data that is applicable to 'other' model groups, as that was the original intention. For additional information the reader is directed to 'The Book of the BSA 250cc, 350cc, 500cc & 600cc OHV & SV singles 1945 to 1959' (ISBN 9781588502292) which covers the B31, B32, B33, B34, C10, C11, C11DL, M20, M21 & M33 models.

Ford Big-Block Parts Interchange
The photos in this edition are black and white.Get a complete look at Ford Big-Block parts interchange and availability from author George Reid, a Ford expert and historian.Engine components covered in Ford Big-Block Parts Interchange include cranks, rods, pistons, camshafts, engine blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds, carburetors, distributors, and more. Expanding from the previous edition of High-Performance Ford Parts Interchange that covered both small- and big-block engines in one volume, this book cuts out the small-block information and devotes every page to the MEL, FE and 385 series big-blocks from Ford, which allows for more complete and extensive coverage.Over the course of performance car history, and specifically muscle car history, big-block engines are particularly beloved, and for good reason. Not only are they the essence of what a muscle car is, but before modern technology and stroker engines, they were also the best way to make a lot of horsepower. All of the Detroit manufacturers had their versions of big-block engines, and Ford was no exception. Actually, Ford was somewhat unique in that it had two very different big-block engine designs during the muscle car era.The FE engine was a design pioneered in the late 1950s, primarily as a more powerful replacement for the dated Y-block design because cars were becoming bigger and heavier, and therefore, necessitated more power to move. What started as torquey engines meant to move heavyweight sedans morphed into screaming high-performance mills that won Le Mans and drag racing championships through the 1960s. By the late 1960s, the design was dated, so Ford replaced the FE design with the "385" series, also known as the "Lima" design, which was more similar to the canted-valve Cleveland design being pioneered at the same time. It didn't share the 1960s pedigree of racing success, but the new design was better in almost every way; it exists via Ford motorsports offerings to this day.

They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups. Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, assembling those individual sheets into a publication that serves as a model specific workshop manual is a somewhat difficult task and owners of BSA motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. 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 of motorcycles. The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ring binder that contained all of the individual service sheets totaling to almost 500 pages, it is extremely scarce and difficult to find. This manual contains 59 service sheets (190 pages) extracted from that 'dealer only' publication, which cover the 1945 to 1960 pre-unit, rigid, plunger and swing arm B31, B32, B33 and B34 plus Gold Star and Competition models. Please note that service sheets other than those in the 300 series that are included in this publication may also contain data that is applicable to 'other' model groups, as that was the original intention. For additional information the reader is directed to 'The Book of the BSA 250cc, 350cc, 500cc & 600cc OHV & SV singles 1945 to 1959' (ISBN 9781588502292) which covers the B31, B32, B33, B34, C10, C11, C11DL, M20, M21 & M33 models. For later models see 'The Book of the BSA OHV Singles 350cc & 500cc 1955-1967' (ISBN 9781588501561) which covers the B31, B32, B33, B34 & Star B40 & SS90.

Honda 70 Enthusiast’s Guide
Author of Honda Mini Trail: Enthusiast's Guide, Jeremy Polson has put together another vintage Honda guide. It covers the third-best-selling Honda in American Honda history, the long-running Mini Trail CT-70, along with the CL, SL, and XL 72-cc motorcycles manufactured from 1969 to 1994. Polson begins with a brief introduction of the models that led to the first CL-70, and then jumps into a thorough analysis of the many models and iterations that Honda offered through the years.With more than 25 years of experience collecting, restoring, and selling more than 200 small-displacement Hondas, Polson is the ideal author for this must-have look at a group of Honda's most popular motorcycles.Despite the worldwide popularity of American Honda's 72-cc motorcycles, no other book on these models has been published, and the accuracy of information found on the Internet is suspect at best. It could be called the "Bible for Honda 72-cc collectors and enthusiasts," because this book presents facts and figures backed up by production dates, serial numbers, and dealer information found nowhere else.In addition to the hard facts, this book is filled with many rare photos that track the evolution of Honda's 72-cc motorcycles and unravels their mystery. Rare models covered include the first CT-70 "Silver Tags" with more than 30 features not found on the majority of later-model CT-70s, as well as many other low-production 72-cc motorcycles.

Riding 500cc Two Strokes to Canada in 1972
Our 1972 motorcycle ride took us on a four-thousand-mile trip from Arizona to Canada and back. Some nights we camped out along the highway; other nights we found a motel. Some days the rain was fierce and debilitating... but every day was fun and filled with great experiences and amazing landscapes. Each of us rode a 500cc two-stroke motorcycle on the journey. We had no cell phones, roadside assistance coverage, custom ear plugs, or sound systems. The attractions of the open road, Canada, and Yellowstone Park were very powerful. None of us worried about breaking down or the costs of the trip. We were filled with youthful confidence in ourselves and our machines. The three of us had places to go and places to see. And we made it!
Trans Am & Firebird Restoration
The photos in this edition are black and white. The Trans Am and Firebird were distinctly different than their cousin, the Chevy Camaro, and many Trans Am and Firebird models became stand-out muscle cars of their era. In fact, when the high-performance wars in Detroit subsided in the early 1970s, the Trans Am remained as the sole surviving muscle car. Some second-generation Pontiac F-Body cars are affordable while others are extremely rare and valuable. In particular, the 1970-1974 Pontiac Super Duty Trans Ams, 1970-1973 Firebird Formulas, and 1976 Firebird Limited Editions command high sale prices while the 1970s Trans Am 6.6 "Smokey and the Bandit" cars are still affordable and appreciating in value. Melvin Benzaquen of Classic Restoration Enterprises has restored dozens of these cars. In this revealing guide, all crucial aspects of restoration are covered, including engine, driveline, interior, trim, electrical system, brakes, steering, and suspension. A special focus is placed on performing common body restoration procedures. Chapters also include VIN decoding, planning, preparation, tools, and painting techniques. Step-by-step photos accompanied by in-depth and detailed captions explain how to perform each stage of the restoration process. Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am owners are loyal and dedicated to the preservation of these storied high-performance models and therefore demand an accurate and faithful restoration. The magnitude and variety of work in the restoration process can be overwhelming and that's why a complete restoration guide by an acknowledged expert is so important. Now, in this authoritative and comprehensive guide, you have the tools you need to get started on your Trans Am or Firebird restoration.

Norton 850 and 750 Commando Workshop Manual All Models from 1970 to 1975 (Part Number 06-5146)
172 pages, and more than 140 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. Owners of Norton Commando motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the selection of an appropriate workshop manual from the multitude of originals and reprints that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. 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'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. The Norton Commando model range is especially subjected to incorrect identification by these 'bedroom sellers' and you are encouraged to read the paragraph below to help identify the correct manual for your model.During the 1968 to 1978 Commando model run there were 4 different manuals published by the factory: The original 52 page 750cc manual (part number 06-3062) is applicable to the 1968 to1970 models ONLY that were fitted with the external rev-counter drive and/or the Atlas style exhaust (refer to ISBN 9781588502421). This original manual was followed by part number 06-3419 which covers the 1970 to1973 750cc models ONLY. The next, and most comprehensive manual, part number 06-5146, was published in 1973 and the 850cc data was added making this manual applicable to the entire range of 750cc & 850cc models from 1970 to 1975. Finally, with the introduction of the electric start, left side gear change, rear disc brake Mark 3 models in 1975, a separate manual part number 00-4224 was published which is specific to the 1975 to 1978 MKIII 850cc series from engine no. 325001 & frame no. F125001.We are pleased to offer this reproduction of the Factory Workshop Manual 06-5146 to owners of the 1970 through 1975 models and we hope that the explanation above removes any doubt regarding which manual is correct for a particular series of Norton Commando model.Models and model years covered in this manual are: Interstate: 745cc 1972-1973 & 828cc 1973-1975Roadster: 745cc 1970-1973 & 828cc 1973-1975Hi-rider: 745cc 1971-1973 & 828cc 1973-1975Interpol: 745cc 1970-1973 & 828cc 1973-1975Fastback: 745cc 1970-1973Fastback LR (Long Range): 745cc 1971-1972S Type: (Scrambler) 745cc 1970SS Type (Street Scrambler): 745cc 1970-1971IMPORTANT: Owners of 1968-1970 750cc Commando models are directed to our workshop manual ISBN 9781588502421 and owners of the later MKIII models would require our 1975-1978 manual ISBN 9781588502445.VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.

My Epic Ride of 2020
Can you imagine riding a motorcycle alone back and forth across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic? Well, the author of this book was just dedicated (or crazy) enough to do just that. From Georgia through the Carolinas into Old Virginia on the first day to the capital of California by day 12 to the Oregon Coast, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore and on to Boston by day 24. Days 25 and 26 were spent getting back home and checking off a few more US highway sections for his bucket list.This book allows the reader to follow the 10,268-mile, 26-day, motorcycle journey by the author traversing 29 states while completing two of the four longest US highways in the process - US 50 and US 20. Starting out from hometown Augusta, Georgia, the author set out to not only travel across the country on a motorcycle, but to do so alone and to visit as many Harley-Davidson(R) dealerships as he could along the way. There were 33 in all that were open at the time he was able to ride through the respective towns and eight more he visited to obtain photographic proof of a visit.Being somewhat of a history buff of sorts, the author also points out many historically significant facts about the towns through which he traveled. The many references cited throughout the book are indexed to a reference and quotation list in the back, where the author provides the actual quotation along with references for those who wish to look further into the details.The book takes a look at our great country through the vantage point of traveling on two wheels in the wide-open spaces, so to speak. Many of the included photos are extracted from thousands captured by a "dash cam" mounted on the handlebar as well as those taken with the author's cell phone camera. The use of a selfie stick/tripod device aided in the process of capturing those photos. It is the intent of the author to take the reader into the experience of riding as much as possible with words and photographs.In addition, the author also recounts the completion of riding significant portions of several US highways on his bucket list, hopefully, the subject of another book or two on motorcycle adventures. All this at 65 years of age and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Join in the adventure by cracking the book open and taking in the contents in your mind's eye.
