My Maintenance "Bible",
By "americaniron" (St. Charles, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Harley-Davidson Performance Projects: For Evolution Big Twins and Sportsters (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
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."

Full color pictures illustrate projects extremely well,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Harley-Davidson Performance Projects: For Evolution Big Twins and Sportsters (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
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.
