Remember the smell of Castrol R at a 1960s scramble? Or riding a 1970s
trials bike through every type of natural obstacle possible? If you want
to revisit those memories, or relive the competition of earlier times,
this book is for you. Buying, restoring, and riding classic off-road
competition bikes is now something that you can do! This book gives
enthusiasts of classic off-road competition motorcycles a step-by-step
guide to a full restoration. Covering dismantling the motorcycle and its
components, restoring and sourcing parts, paint spraying, decals and
polishing. With chapters covering engine, frame, forks, fuel, exhaust,
seat, brakes and tyres, you'll see how to take a bike from scratch to a
full rebuild; then on to safe set-up and general maintenance. Includes
chapters focussing specifically on pre-65 and twin shock models.
