3.0 out of 5 stars Good Manual, but quite broad, April 29, 2000

By	David Eilers (chicago) - See all my reviews

As with most Haynes manuals, this one is very good. The one major failing is that it covers a very large timeframe (1970-1999). As a result, much of the information must be either carefully read/selected to ensure it applies to your specific model and/or interpreted to the engine version you have. They really should have split it into pre-Evolution models and post Evolution models.

This also means you will not find any specifics instructions on items such as fairing removal/installation, instrumentation, cruise control, or other body and chassis type items -- there are simply too may variations for a single book to cover.

That is why I would rate this manual one star less than the typical Haynes manual which is generally more focused towards a specific model and vehicle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tradition is Hard to Break, May 1, 2002

By A Customer

Tradition is hard to break, not like in the old days. In the distant past Harley Davidson riders worked on their bikes almost as much as they rode them and it was a cult of tinkerers who instead of working in the yard tightened bolts and rebuilt carbs. If they wanted the bike to be dependable they had too.

Now days Harley Davidsons are highly dependable and the riders stuck in tradition want to work on them so they do customizing with wonderful results. With all the Doctors, Lawyers and Indian Chiefs riding these days who enjoy reading when they can't ride books like this are becoming a favorite pass time. Two that are exceptional are THE SECOND COMING OF AGE - LIBERTY AND JUSTICE - it is a novel about HD and GROWING UP HD - it reads like a novel.
