 Great purchase...
I got this book to research possible upgrade to my 2004 Sporty, the book was packed with more information than I bargained for. Anyone who is wanting to hop up their sporty, this a great book to have.
 Carburetor versus fuel injection
When talking about 883 to 1200 conversion, is anybody taking into account that from 2006 on, carburetors no longer exist for Harleys? With the former, you just get a larger bore pair. With the injection pump, who is going to set his paws on it? Are there skilled personnel in the mech shops capable of doing it? Can you regulate the amount injected or you have to purchase a bigger gauge pump?They must be quite expensive.Does anybody elaborate on this?
Accurate but dated information
This performance guide is a good reference companion to the factory service manual. It takes you through a typical engine build and provides performance tips and suggestions. However, this book concentrates on earlier builds of the sportster and has very few references to the current rubbermounted Evolution motors. This limits its usefullness to the earlier shovelhead and evolution motors prior to 2004. Much of the information is available on web sites, but it is nice to have a "one source" guide with the info handy. Other sections ofthe book are dedicated to sportster history, which was nice, but I could live without, especially considering the books title.
 Finally updated
Finally an updated version of this book. Sometimes, his praise of the rubbermounts gets sappy, but overall a good treatment. Some various grammatical errors and redundancy. The information is good, though.
Very Helpful!
This is a great book for sportster owners! It contains anything you need to know to work on your sportster and is easy to understand.
