Great HD Performane FAQ Manual

I used Buzz's book, with the factory manual, to turn my '93 883 into a perfectly running 1200. Other than the cyl. bore, I did all the work myself with absolutely no problems.

A must for sportster owners

This was my bible for one of my bikes, a 1990 sportster 883-1200 conversion. It covers a lot of the history of the sportster & theory on what can be done to hop it up & keep it rideable. Even if you aren't going to do anything yourself you should probably read this book so you'll know what to have done. It's a nice read too.

Great guide to high performance for low dollars

This easy-to-read handbook discusses all aspects of Sportster performance, from engine to suspension modifications. It provides suitable modifications at every price point, from dirt cheap to very expensive. I used it to customize my 1999 883 and am delighted with the results. It also provides valuable lessons for anyone interested in modifying any motorcycle. I would recommend this book to anyone planning to customize their ride.

Tremendous guide for the DIY Sportster mechanic

Buzz backs up his performance recommendations with solid test data and easy to understand engineering explanations. I followed his guidance and got the performance figures he said I would. It's an educational and entertaining book that I read over and over.

Masterpice for Sportster performance

Buzzelli's masterpiece on H-D Sporster performance. Not simply his opinions, but recommendations are backed up by tried and true testing. If you're a Sportster owner--get this book!
