106 pages, and more than 75 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory publications including the 'How to ride the BSA Dandy' instruction manual, the parts/spares manual and a compilation of specific 'dealer only' service sheets. It should be noted that BSA never published a workshop manual for the Dandy, however, the combination of these three factory publications provides the most comprehensive maintenance and repair information that was ever made available from the manufacturer.
MANUALS & TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS: SERVICE SHEETS: In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that BSA never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public they were 'dealer only' publications. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the early 1960's.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL: BSA published an 'Instruction Manual' titled, 'How to ride the BSA Dandy'. This publication was somewhat more detailed than most typical 'owner's manuals' as it included basic overhaul information in addition to general maintenance and adjustments. However, when used in conjunction with the 'Service Sheets' they are a reasonable substitute for a workshop manual.
PARTS (or) SPARES MANUAL: The parts manual includes exploded component diagrams which are extremely helpful in the rebuilding or restoration process.
MEET THE PUBLISHERVelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.
