Original CB750 Manual, 1970

(1/3) > >>

MrDavo:
I was lucky enough to buy this on eBay, for a £30 offer. Its an original March 1970 manual, I know its all scanned and available in Ash's dropbox, but there's nothing like having the real paper article for browsing, checking and to go with my orginal partsbook.

Somewhat used, but not with all the dirty fingermarks that fill most of mine. I must try and take care of it.

The bike in the photos is chassis #2, engine #4. Does that make it one of the prototype show bikes, if so which one?









Therer are neatly handwritten service notes in the back, for a bike dated April to July 1971, at 4,947 miles, I'll try and take a photo tomorrow.

Woodside:
Got to agree I find a proper paper book alot better and easier to browse ...and always waste money buying  them to go with whatever bike I have....well not so much waste but it's a cost I know I don't need to incur ...but always seem too do...
Buy saying that the online references are fantastic too..
And in saying that... the first stop for any of my fours is this site..
Time to donate me thinks

Nice find .. Yes you can't beat an original copy of the manual Dave. I have them for a few of my bikes and the Parts Books in particular are a godsend.

Bump

Someone on here will know, don't make me have to go and look it up.

Best thing is ask the question on the sandcastonly site Dave.. Or I can ask Chris Rushton on Sunday at Newark for you ...he's bound to know.

BTW I have the 4/69 Sandcast parts manual in .PDF but I don't have it in the Dropbox links  for 'general release' . However, if you or anyone else who needs it wants it, just PM me for the link.  It is far better than the later K0 parts book as it has more details on parts, particularly on the  carb internals etc. All I ask is,  if you do get me to link it,  is not to publish it on the net . It was like getting blood from a stone getting anyone to agree to scan it for me, as they wanted $$$$ for a hard copy but a guy in the States kindly did it for me .
