Description

This is high quality professional reproduction of an extremely hard-to-find item that has been out of print for about four decades.  It now can be purchased for just .95 US Dollars - and with FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING!
This Kawasaki 500 - H1D Rider's Handbook is correct for the 1973 H1-D, and it even includes the hard-to-find fold-out wiring diagram attached inside the rear cover, just like the OEM handbook!
The nomenclature on the back cover shows it was printed in October 1972 and inside it features (black and white) pictures of the classic 1973 H1-D.  If you are looking for any other H1 or H2 Rider's Handbooks please check my other items for sale.  Rider's Handbooks (o
wner's manuals), tool kits, and repair or parts manuals help to complete the vintage motorcycle experience.  Shouldn't you purchase this high quality rider's handbook for your legendary Kawasaki 500 H1-D Triple Two-Stroke?  Even if you own an original copy, you should consider purchasing one of these high quality reproductions to keep on your motorcycle or in the tool box.  Then, just store the original in a safe, dry place at home!  There are additional details about this replica handbook below, including FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING details.  Please read these additional details, but if you have any other questions before making your purchase decision, feel free to contact me.
The first six photos above of a handbook placed against a brown background show the reproduction which is for sale in this auction.  The last photo depicts this reproduction together with an ORIGINAL handbook which is NOT for sale. The basis for this replica manual was an original 500-H1D Rider's Handbook that was printed in October 1972 according to the nomenclature on the back cover (its part number is 99997-547).  The first step in the process was to make a professional, high-resolution scan of an original that was in good condition.  Then, "artwork" was performed on it to remove any visible flaws, smudges, etc...  Next, a dilligent search was made to match the quality and color of the paper.  In that regard one can never say the color and texture of the cover paper stock is an exact match - but in this instance it's reasonably close (see photos above).  One of the most challenging parts of the handbook reproduction process is related to matching the color and texture of the cover.  After extensive research into paper stocks it was concluded that an "exact" match of the cover color and texture would be virtually impossible.  So the color and texture of this reproduction's cover is slightly different than the original.  But unlike the dull, faded, stained, and/or ripped and worn covers we are all used to on our original manuals, the cover on this replica is brand new, a very close color match, and it is certainly much more durable.
There might be s
ome very minor differences between this H1D handbook other print runs of the same handbook, but if there are any I am not aware of them at this time.  Please note t
his book only addresses the CDI model bikes as there is no mention of ignition points in this book.  Also note that this handbook has 64 pages plus a fold-out wiring diagram (it costs more to produce and ship), so its price is somewhat higher than the early H1 handbook reproductions I sell (27+/- page and no fold-out wiring diagram).
KAWASAKI COLLECTORS DEMAND THE BEST, SO BASED ON SOME SUGGESTIONS FROM THE TRIPLES COMMUNITY I SHOULD ALSO TELL YOU WHAT THIS HANDBOOK REPRODUCTION IS NOT!
In short, this is not a "blurry" 8.5" X 11" photocopy that was printed from a low-resolution "PDF" that was downloaded off the internet.  A key difference between this reproduction and those PDFs is the fact that those PDFs do not feature the wiring diagram like this reproduction.  This reproduction handbook has been professionally reproduced to match as many details of the original as possible, to include the size (approx. 4.25" X 5.75"), grade, color, and texture of the paper it's printed on - and again, this reproduction has the unique fold-out wiring diagram inside the back cover!!!  The main difference between this reproduction and the original is the texture of the cover.  In short, the original is made from a thin, porous construction paper-like material that was prone to fading, wear, tears, etc...  However, the cover on this reproduction is a better grade paper that's both thicker and smoother and not as prone to wear and tear!   All the artwork (photos, graphics, typeset) and paper stock have been reproduced - and all noticeable flaws have been removed from the pages.
This replica has no crooked pages; no signs of rips or tears; no fingerprints; no oil and grease marks; no handwriting; no smudged or obscured printing, etc...  When comparing this replica to an original the only thing you will notice is that the orignal will look old, worn, and/or faded and this replica looks like a brand new handbook.  For example, the size and placing of the staples holding the book together have even been carefully matched!
The interior pages are smooth, glossy, and bright white just like the originals, and they feature crisp vintage photographs.
