Five Stars Karen Scholl, Ms Added to my libraryas we lost many of the books that I haddue to a fire. Thank you!. Great Book, lots of useful information Amazon Customer About 5 years ago I purchased a basket case 1982 Yamaha XZ550 Vision []. I had never restored a motorcycle before and the last time I had worked on one was over 25 years ago and that was a 2 cycle dirt bike.With Haynes manual in hand, along with this book, I set out on my restoration and boy did it come in handy. Many of the tips, especially for finishing and polishing old aluminum were very helpful.Its a must read for anyone setting out on a restoration of an old motorcycle. While it is not model specific, its still very helpful but searching Amazon for the proper Haynes manual is also helpful as well.I've posted a blog about my res. S. Bond said Motorcycle Restoration Guide. As someone in the middle of my first bike restoration, I can only say I wished I had read it before I puchased my two wheeled train wreck. Very good book, I recommend it for beginners or people like me who find themselves in water a bit over their heads. I would rate it a 5 star, but the subject matter of bike motorcycle restoration is very broad, and sometimes the book left me wanting deeper information.
