550 F1 owners handbook availability

(1/1)

Orcade-Ian:
Hi folks,
Is anyone making a repro owners handbook for the F series 550?  I have seen a few K series for sale secondhand in the US for silly prices and even higher shipping costs.

Might have one lying around, did have one and can't remember giving it away. I'll have a look.

Orcade-Ian:
Thanks Ken,
No rush - I'm still tinkering, carbs off at the moment and zinc plating all the brackets, springs, screws etc.  plus a bit of detailing on the rest. Lots of Rub N Buff too!
John Kenworthy in Lytham (Sunrise Graphics as was) used to do lovely repros of 400/4 handbooks as well as some great decals but had his collar felt in a big way by the big H and had to give up before they had chance to take him to the cleaners.  Bloody shame - not as if he was taking any of their business, he was just keeping classics on the road - which was Soichiro Honda's original ethos.
