Beemer: I don't have any copies here. Most people didn't want to pay the extra $10 or so that it costs to have it shipped to me, then again after signing. If you really want it signed, you could get one with the discount offer and send it to me? A few riders have done that. (Although it still puzzles me that someone would want me to write in their nice, shiny, full-color book?)

Nope, never did one.
Pretty good reason, too! For one, trying to use the computer's screen while wrenching frequently results in....buying another computer to replace it...(don't ask.  :(  ).

No it does not.  There are many parts shared between early K and late F models, but the book focuses on 1969 - 1976 Ks.

Any benefits of the hard copy besides the hard covers? I always liked the soft covers so you could fold them behind the other pages like this

 http://i02.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/717/086/249/1273800395369_hz_fileserver2_4204467.jpg


but if the book is printed with a weak binding this could really be bad, any reviews on the construction of the soft bindings?

The hardcover is the way to go, IMHO, because I had them make it a special Bible-style binding to lay flat open from Page One. The paperback is said to lose pages if the spine gets cracked, like most paperbacks do.

You will still use it, it was my bible when I was building the Red which is K3 frame, seat and tank combined with F3 wheels, engine, fork, brakes, wire harness. 

I don't think anybody ever regretted getting this book.

Yeah if not, guess it'll just be more of a reason to get another one  ;D

I'm kind of in the same situation, ('74 frame / F3 engine) how useful was the book for the F3 engine?

I'm kind of in the same situation, ('74 frame / F3 engine) how useful was the book for the F3 engine?

The sum differences in the F3 engine vs. the K5 are:
1. The cam has more lift and 5 degrees later intake duration (but same dwell).
2. The F3 has the lightened cam sprocket.
3. The crank is slightly different, but not enough that you will notice unless you try to install a K crank. You work on it just the same, though.
4. There are only 6 rubber drain-hole dowels in the cylinder deck in the F3 instead of 8.
5. There are cap nuts on those same engine studs that have the drain-hole dowels, in the F3. The K5 has normal nuts.
6. The pistons are unique to the F2/3 engines. Earlier pistons don't fit well, because the F3 head also is much larger in the chamber (to fit the F3 valves), so the compression comes out low if you swap pistons with the K engines. You have to find other pistons, like the ones I use: I modify the SOHC750 (1979-1982) to fit, as 1.00mm overbore size instead.
7. The carbs are PD style, more complicated in assembly than the earlier ones. They work the same, except Keihin added an accelerator pump to improve on the throttle lag of the post-1975 bikes. The F0/1 suffer the most from this issue.
8. The F3 clutch is like the F0/1/K7/8 clutch, with a double-steel "slipper" plate in the stack, usually at position 4, and at least one slanted-cut-cork plate to ease the search for Neutral when hot. This is like the last of the K6 bikes, which had F0 clutches.
9. The F2/3 use a 630 size chain and do not have a drive-chain oiler.
10. The head casting will not accept the front cam chain slipper from the earlier engines unless you file away the inner side of the cam chain tunnel to clear the tensioner. If you need a slipper tensioner today, this is the "fix", as the former shorter ones are hard to find. It works fine, I've done many. It takes about 5 minutes.

That's about all the differences there are. It's the same general design, but with less overall spark advance, smog-control carbs, better-breathing (and shorter-lived) valves and guides and a bigger combustion chamber to let the valves breathe more. Oh- and it has a PCV canister under the battery box to keep the oil fumes from exiting the engine breather pipe - so the spigot on the back of the engine is a different size than on the K engines. Overall, it made about 5 HP more than the K0-K1 early engines did.

The paperback is only about $8 less, and not worth it, IMHO...the pages, like most paperbacks, can come loose once the spine gets broken. I had the hardcover made with a special "Bible-style" lay-flat binding so it will stay open without a wrench laying across the pages. I tried that approach with the first 3 books I had printed (paperbacks), and it wasn't great. :(
