Sometime in the near future, I'll offer a DVD from here, too, of all the pictures from the book (and a lot more that didn't make the cut), because some of you have asked for that. That way, if you're pondering a repair of some sort, you can just browse the pictures without all that annoying text in between them... 
Very nice to see hard work come to fruition. Just so I have this straight, this is a tech manual/repair book correct? Not just photos of 750s right?

If I may, Mark would be incapable of just photos of 750s, unless they were in a thousand pieces, as I'm sure these photos will be.
But I should let Mark answer on his own. I'm hoping there will be a few pictures of 750s that are in whole condition.
OK, Ron: that answer made me laugh enough to spit tea all over my wife's keyboard!
And, it's REAL close to the truth in the book: I think there are only 3 or 4 pictures of whole bikes in it, including the cover! There's a couple of the first Hondaman Special (the one that had its almost-finished debut on TV locally!) and a shot of my bike when it still had OEM paint (my old avatar). The "story" in the book revolves around rebuilding that bike, in general. I had to use other bikes for some shots, because parts of that particular bike were OK when I rebuilt it, so I didn't disassemble 100% of that engine in the end.
The general overview of this book: it's intended to cover 2 arenas:
1. If you have a "generic" shop manual, like the Honda or Chilton or Haynes manual, this one will fill in the missing info, give some tips (and pictures) on what to look for that those books don't, and (hopefully) will begin to teach you about the evolution and potential of this bike. While it concentrates on the K1-K6, is has some mention of the K0 and the later models, too.
2. It has a far more advanced set of "Theory" sections than any manuals I have seen outside of college. It explains in painful detail how the carbs work (because there is a huge amount of misconception about them in this forum), how the electrical system works (including how alternators like these actually function), and how suspension geometry works and can be tailored to your desired style on this bike.
It's not a "beginner's manual" unless accompanied by one of the Honda/Chilton/Haynes books, because I did not spend a lot of time on things like "remove the cover screws to remove the alternator cover", like those books do: I presumed you already know that it won't come off until the screws are out...and, I did not cover 2 items in particular: relacing wheels must be done properly or you can risk your life, so it's not there, and recutting valve seats can ruin a head if you don't know how, even with the right tools. Those 2 items I left out on purpose. In the future, there may be a tutorial posted here at SOHC4 to cover the wheels: you can buy whole books out there on cutting valve seats.
But, everything else on how to rebuild, repair, and improve upon the CB750 is there, including 2 Performance chapters.
