The mini instructions manual

[Petrus]

I have this very handy mobile phone sized manual.
At half the size and only 20 pages more is comes with all of the same as the adult versions.

My question is where I could póssibly store it on the bike; a base R18?

It does emphatically nót fit behind the side covers and it seems a bit over the top to try pack it under the pillion cushion.

In your pocket?

Wallet (mini), house keys, bike fob*, handkerchief is already too much to take bike papers or mobile, never mind a booklet, pocket size or not. It ís a minimalistic bke remember

* I remain that BMW missed one with not emulating the push down thing in the headlamp because of the above as well.

Actually, it is not.
Mirrors & beads (indicators) are decidedly ´modern´ additions to motorbikes and as such were at some surprising late point in time! literally added to classic motorcycles. In the UK indicators p.e. became mandatory as late as 1989 and bikes produced before 1986 can still pass MoT without them.
Rear view mirrors are still not mandatory everywhere and even in the quite strict EU only óne (LHS) is needed.
So no, they are decidedly nót retro: motorbikes without are

There is also a non retro but legally retro-active thing concerning a passenger. Most countries/states have adopted the legal requirement for foot rests and a hand hold.
I have not been able to find when this became a legal requirement nor what the consquences are for p.e. vintage single cil. classics like you illustrated. The R24 to 27 came in both single seat and duo seat versions and are equiped like whatever the present owners sees fit but
Over here my R18 would fail inspection without the useless pillion saddle strap because it is registered as a two up bike. I could no issues fit a vintage mud guard mounted passenger saddle as that has an integrated hand hold. That would thus be more retro whereas the strap over the cushion is modern.
