Hello to all.
I have some schematics for Kaneda’s bike from Akira. I have a specification chart with numbers in universal numeric format, but I can’t distinguish which measurments are what.
Can anyone who is able to translate Japanese writing into English help?
Unfortunatley it is hand written and not on a web page, so I can’t use a computer translator.
Please let me know if you can help and I’ll email the document to you.
Thank you in advance.

i could possibly do it. I’m not super great with japanese, but i can read some of it and translate it if i don’t know what it means. No promises, but i’ll give it a go.
i had another little try with it, i got some small progress, but im not gonna be able to do any more. It says something about power sterring, ceramic breaks and a CD player, but that’s all i got and im not 100% sure, i may be wrong. Sorry i can’t help you any more, but i’m not that good at it yet. Plus some of the words don’t make sense, and i can’t find any good translators.
It’d help to know what particular specs you’re looking for.
Anyway, here’s a few I could work out:
The colours don’t mean anything - just to stop it from getting too messy. The ??? signifies words/characters that I didn’t know, and GUESS means it’s just a guess 
Funkychild,
Thanks for having a go, but your post doesn’t show up.
If possible I could do with all the details on the spec sheet, but mainly the dimensions like wheel base, wheel size etc.

Hrmm that’s weird - Here’s a copy I put on a different server:
Funkychild, you star 
Thankyou, this is superb.
The things you have translated are more than enough.
Thankyou.
Sonix.
No worries!
Glad it helped
