Product Description
Rare original Japanese Chopper and Custom Shop Manual : How To Do-It Projects for Honda*Kawasaki*Yamaha*Suzuki. Published in 1970 by Riceburner Publications North Hollywood California.
This 66 page black and white manual was released in the heart of the chopper era 1970 and covers Japanese Chopper & Custom projects that were radical for its time. A great line in the forward talks about Japanese bikes being a great alternative to paying $2695 for a 1938 Harley ( gawd if only).
This is a true piece of chopper history and a must add to any serious collection or for anybody building a period bike.

It is a used read copy but it still shows very well.
