Inside the Norton 961 - BOOK

[richard-7]

Hi guys. Been a while. I bought a 1969 Porsche 911 it's a field find so.... a rust bucket, needed everything. Been taking all of my time. I'm about half way done. I'm still riding my bike often. I have 21,000miles now.

For ever and day I've been asked to make my manuals into a physical book people can buy. Well.... here it is. I finally finished it. I don't yet have a price because I'm working it out with the printer. But before I get too far I wanted to know how many people are interested in this still? Should I go ahead and invest in it. I would sign them if you're interested.

The manuals will still be free. The difference between the book and the manuals isn't too much. But there is def. more info in the book. I've updated a few things I've since learned. Added some things that you may know depending when is the last time you communicated with me. I added all the engine mods we do to make the engine better.

In the book is a special thank you to ACCESS NORTON and COLORADO NORTON WORKS. These two have really helped spread the word and keep the bikes on the road. SO thank you for this.

Drop your comments here and as I get more info I'll add to the thread until the books are ready to ship.

Hi Richard, nice to hear from you! I’m definitely interested in a copy please. Are you on Facebook as well, as there are at least four 961 groups on there as well, and i’m sure some folks would be interested.

Sounds like a great resource. I've already benefited many times from your manuals. I'll look forward to getting a copy when they are available.

Good Stuff guys. Thanks for the encouragement. I also received about 40 or so interested people from an email blitz I sent out. There are some options. FULL COLOR SHINY THICK PAPER which would make the book around $100cdn. And then it goes down from there to regular printer style full color and then black and white. I'm pretty dead set on color so we'll see what I can do.

Do I make it a KEEP SAKE or an actual manual people will use? Or both. Maybe full shiny paper is a little too much for a workshop manual.

I need to get a few more quotes.

In a perfect world, a spiral-bound, lay-flat book is the best for a "manual." Since every manual nowadays is digital, a lay flat would be fantastic

No full shiny paper makes it easy to wipe fingerprints off!
