Home Motorcycle Workshop

If you ride a motorcycle, chances are you do (or would like to), your own motorcycle service and maintenance. Wrenching away in your back yard may be okay and somewhat poetic, and it may well be, as long as there's daylight and good weather. But there are certain limitations as far as how much you can actually do.

Between safety issues and having the right tools and equipment to do from basic work all the way to a complete, ground-up restoration, you will at one point or another want—or wish you had—a motorcycle workshop to take care of your bike.

But where do you start?

Well, without a plan of action, along with a list of tools and equipment you may want or need, you'll probably end up with a headache, so a good guide is what you need.

How to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop gives you the steps to follow in order to build the motorcycle shop of your dreams. One that will allow you to keep your bike clean and well maintained, or also give you the space you'll need to restore an old motorcycle.

Topics covered in How to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop, now in it's third edition, range from shop layout to which tools you will need for basic maintenance or those needed for more complex repair and restoration work.

From there you can plan to add a motorcycle lift, a compressor, and even welding or painting equipment, for the ultimate motorcycle workshop.

Another helpful book is Garage and Workshop Gear Guide which provides valuable information and tips so you can choose the right tools, without having to hock your bike in order to afford them. This is a great book which applies to both motorcycle and car enthusiasts.

As you can see, there's plenty of valuable information available to those who are ready to start designing the motorcycle workshop of their dreams.
