Whether you want to correctly restore a classic Japanese motorcycle or create a modified, custom build, you need the right information about performing the mechanical and cosmetic tasks required to get old, frequently neglected, and often long-unridden machines 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 and prepping a bike to build a cafe racer, street tracker, or other custom builds.

Good general info.

Does not go into much info on actual rebuilding or restoring a bike. Good for someone that knows nothing about starting a project bike
