If You Can Only Buy One Harley Book.......

If you can only afford one Harley Book, buy this one. It's the best of it's kind I've yet seen. Just one of the projects is worth the price. It' clear and well written with color pictures that are worth an additional thousand words. Reading this book will get you all fired up to spend some bucks and dig into that machine, so it's fun for the arm-chair mechanics, too. After a few projects you will feel comfortable with the mechanical challenges that a Harley can throw at you. If you do several, you will have a stong, well tended bike. It can save you a bundle if you want to hot-rod that EVO and you get bragging rights along with projects. I can't think of a better way to use twenty bucks.

My Maintenance "Bible"

As an intermediate level "hacker" when it comes to repairs, I had always been more comfortable having the local dealer take care of routine maintenance. Prior to receiving this book I was only changing the oil and transmission fluid on my bike. However, "armed" with this new found information I now cover the bike from front to end! The layout and excellent photographs are easy for even ME to understand!! There is not a lot of industry jargon involved, making it simple for the "mechanically handicapped" to understand. My only complaint is that the book is not longer and I am impatiently awaiting "Volume II."

harley davidson performance projects 101

This book is a must for all novice motorcycle repairman. Iteach harley-davidson repair for the U.A.W. and use this book. Thisbook is not only good for harley's, it will work well for all motorcycles. The book is easy to understand for everyone. The tips on things like using a ball point pen to bleed brake lines, is priceless. The only drawback to the book is, it's not longer! Love IT!

Full color pictures illustrate projects extremely well

This is the one book to buy if you want to start spinning wrenches on your Evo Harley. The book is very up-to date--even recommending using a Twin Cam oil filter for Softails for screening out finer particles. The section on de-federalizing your CV carb is worth the price of the book alone; as is the advice for a "five-quart" oil change. The book is very easily understood with its color photographs on every single page. I only wish there were more of them, since some of the projects could use greater specifc detail.
