This informative book, now in its second edition, will help you set up your dream motorcycle workshop to make the most of available space, and equip it with the tools necessary to get the job done. Whether you plan only to keep your bike clean and in good repair or you want to restore, customize, or even become a professional mechanic, this book will show you how to do it. Shop profiles are provided to give you ideas of what is possible: personal garage shops, professional shops, restorer shops, painting, fabricating, and welding shops too. Each profile has a layout diagram of the shop with photos as well as ideas and tips from the owner or designer. You'll find many ideas from these shops that you can apply to your own. Author Charlie Masi also explains the basic principles of planning and designing workshops, with practical advice on what equipment you'll need. He offers many tips such as: which tools to keep with your bike, which tools you'll need in an emergency, which tools to purchase, which tools you can make, and best of all, how to use them. Amusing anecdotes recount real-life experiences, with examples of what to do and what not to do. With more than 200 photographs and detailed illustrations, this book is a valuable, money-saving reference you'll want to have in your workshop--one you'll return to again and again.
