Classic Motorcycle Literature:  Motorcycle Manuals, Motorcycle Dealer Brochures, Motorcycle Parts Lists, Motorcycle Posters, and Motorcycle Photographs For Sale.

---

 I am so overwhelmed with house remodeling project I am closing the literature website for several months.. maybe this winter open it up again..  It takes a LOT of time to research stuff as all BSA, Triumph, Norton, and some other popular makes are not all organized.   Once I find the material, it also takes time to drive to Xerox place, get the one really high qualtiy machine, stand there for ever hand copying every page in an owner's manual, pick out covers, try to repeatedly copy photo or title page onto one sheet of cover stock, have info bound, package, drive to post office, and mail.. all for $12 - $20 or something.. takes all morning.. and some people still grumble about the price.. like 80 pages at 4 cents per page ought to be $5.  Plus I had to pay a fortune for all the original literature over the years..

Anyway.. got to deal with house project to refinance before additional increases in mortgage rates.  Sorry for getting up your interest.

All the best,

Payment only in US $,  cash British Pounds, or Canadian Dollars so far. Australian and Canadian Post Offices also have International Money Orders available in US $.  Please e-mail about shipping costs to your country before sending money. I will research the best rate for various options. Shipping flat literature is no problem, but shipping the Black Shadow Model Kits overseas seems expensive.  I will post lowest rates soon.
