Product Description
Cruisers such as Harley-Davidsons represent the fastest-growing segment in motorcycle sales and the Twin-Cam engine is used in many of the most popular Harleys on the road today. None of these bikes remains in stock condition. Owners personalize and customize them and most Twin-Cam models receive performance upgrades such as aftermarket pipes, brake and suspension upgrades and engine modifications. Respected motorcycle journalists Chris Maida and Mark Zimmerman present 101 projects an owner can consider or undertake to customize a bike’s power, ride and styling. They cover basic regular maintenance and cosmetic customizing as well as more-complex performance projects such as suspension tuning and working on the electrical system. Color photos showing each project in step-by-step fashion make it easy for readers to undertake projects themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Glad I Bought It, May 30, 2005
By R. Kirkham "jrkirkham" (Rushville, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for Harley TC Upgrades, December 12, 2007
By M. Richardson "canyon country rider" (Canyon Country, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

I liked this book very much and am using it as a guide for the work I am doing on my own 2000 Road Glide. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Too general
The book is too vague. All the tasks fail to go into any kind of detail. Unless you have access to a Harley mechanic I would leave this one alone.
