 Fussy sod...Ok I changed it..!!


I wonder if the 750 and 400 boys would like to see their pages from the same catalogue.

[SteveD CB500K0]

I expect so.

Do you have pdfs that we could put in the archive?

I used to have this catalogue...it's just that I cannot find it now. I'm sure that i've put it somewhere safe, but i'm beginning to think that one day while I was away my missus had a clearout. Damn...damn...damn...

 I scanned in the pages on a new Kodak all in one printer. I was looking through all my old race stuff for the Honda and it was in that. I remember when I got it, I rode all the way to Gadalming on a Motoguzzi/Benelli 250 2c. I went to have a look at a 500 kit for a 400four but couldn't afford it, I was at college and not very old. All I could afford was a timing disc...haha . That book was my bedtime bible for a couple of years. There are lots of interesting pages in it...like all the cam timing for each cam they made from R+T to Full race for all sorts of models. I just spent another hour or so reading it again.
 
  The first way I did this was as PDF but it created a 10.5mb pdf file. Its perfect for the net  but not too sure about copyright here..??

I wouldn't worry about copyright - it's 40 years old!

We have a large archive of such stuff on the .net site - that's where I'd save it with links from here.
