Good point Bitsa, also, am I the only one to remember the CBX engine rebuild John Wyatt did for Classic Motorcycle Mechanics about 25 years ago, lasted less than 100 miles as he failed to clean the oilways after blasting the crankcases :-X

2 years and a week.

Is this the longest leadtime for any product you've ever bought from Amazon?

Delivery May 10th  :)

Not quite true I don't think Bitsa. Andrew Parnaby, who is in the next unit to John Wyatt, used the book to get dimensions of where to paint the pinstipes on my 750K0 tank, supposedly from that book. Anyone got Mark Paris's book (Hondaman on US site)?

Mine arrived yesterday too. Got the email on tuesday and ignored it thinking it was the usual further delay message! re read it and it said it was despatched!

Agree the photos look great. Yet to actually read it!
