It is intended as an easy-to-read guide with clear, precise contents regarding the restoration of classic bikes, with attention being focused not on pre-war models but those from the 1960s and '70s, those on which we still work most frequently today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e All aspects of restoration are dealt with special reference to mechanical work on the engines and the chassis components, those which enthusiasts can do themselves in their own garages, using tools that are easy to find at reasonable costs. The book is enhanced by an in-depth examination of the reassembly of the crankcase and two chapters dedicated to the final drive and the spark plugs. A guide of fundamental importance for those who want to “get their hands dirty” around their classic bikes.\n\n\u003cb\u003eDespite being one of the most successful motorcycles of all time, the Royal Enfield Bullet has had a very chequered history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its story begins in the 1930s and by the 1950s it was at the height of its popularity in post-War Britain.
