Description:

Explore the world of motorcycle repair and maintenance with the Fourth Edition of Modern Motorcycle Mechanics, the essential guide for passionate motorcycle enthusiasts, mechanics, and collectors.

Written by J.B. (Bernie) Nicholson of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, this book is a timeless source of information that provides invaluable advice and detailed procedures for repairing and maintaining American and British motorcycles. From basic upkeep to more advanced mechanical tasks, Nicholson's expertise offers a comprehensive look into the workings of motorcycles, making it accessible to readers of all technical levels.

This edition, noted for its minor wear on the cover, writing on the title page, and a split in the binding (with all pages intact), remains a significant contribution to motorcycle literature. It is greatly enlarged from its predecessors, with specific chapters dedicated to certain marques, making it a good fit for anyone interested in the craft of motorcycle maintenance.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
