Helpful, informative, I'm glad I bought it. I especially like the little boxes at the start of each project that describe the time, tools, talent, cost, tips, gains, and complementary modifications needed or useful. This book gave me the courage to tackle a project I might have dodged and to avoid projects that were over my head. I only wish it were a little larger, say . . . 202 projects?

Great addition to the Factory Service Manual . It gives you all you need before starting the task. Tools,Skill required etc. and great detailed photos of each project and detailed explanations of how to proceed.

I purchased a 2002 Harley FXD Dyna two months ago and wanted a resource for maintenance tips and upgrade performance options. This book fully satisfied all those needs. It has clear descriptions regarding bike care and starts from basics topics (how to change fluids) to medium (re-jetting a CV carb) to advanced (engine balancing). All projects are rated in terms of difficulty.

This book will advance your knowledge of how your bike operates so even if you never intend to take a wrench to your bike, you'll learn which performance upgrades are appropriate for your bike, riding style and wallet. Highly recommended!

This book is a great companion to the factory service manual. Lots of color photos, and step by step instructions. From routine maintenance to performance upgrades.This book has it all.

My husband absolutely loves this book, says it is the perfect addition to his other Harley repair books. Loves the layout of the 'projects' and the suggestions of how to do what. Again, this item was exactly as ordered, shipped as stated and arrived quickly.

Good usable "How-To" data for the home bound mechanic who either cannot afford to pay the shop rate, or (like myself), would simply rather do it yourself. Good methods of approach with suggestions regarding additional side jobs that could be best completed at the same time and in the same stroke. It fills in the gaps that the factory manuals normally do not cover and applies a good deal of simple common sense.

I bought this thinking it might have more detail, both in description and photos, on how to perform the simpler repair and maintenance tasks on a Harley. Instead, one gets only the broadest sense of how such tasks might be done, and you get the feeling you're still better off leaving the work to a Harley mechanic. Not much help.

If you're planning to do your own work on your bike, this is one of the books will should have. It's not the only one, since you will need your shop manual or a Clymer manual, but it's a great start for novice mechanics. It'll help you select your tools, give you excelent tips and guide you troughout some various projects. Could be longer and with better pictures and diagrams, but it's a very usefull book nevertheless.

I like it because it tells me how difficult it's gonna be, I mean how many beers I'll to put into the fridge. Also how much it's gonna be so give me some time to save up.

I am enjoying the book. It gives a lot of performance ideas and also tidbits of knowledge that I was not aware of.
