 How to build a Harley Davidson Torque Monster
I'm an experienced home mechanic and found some things useful in this book but not much. He dwells on old Sportsters with magnetos which these days are nearly extinct and more work than they are worth. He dismisses Evos which is what I have and gives only a passing glance at CV carbs. He also does not give much info on cams and how to pick one. It was published last year but is outdated already. He is an old school wrench and it shows. You could get more info by surfing the Web and joining a chat room or talking to the manufacturers and it's free. Too bad.
 Great Book!!
If you like hot rodding your bike or just want to read about it get this book. A very good premmer on how to make you bike fast and street worthy at the same time. How to do it with out wasting money and time in the process. Something for every Harley rider.
great book
I bought this book for my husband who has ridden and built Harleys for 30 years....he is very satisfied and happy with the book because it does teach him new things.....
 How to build a Harle Davidson Torque Monster
Book appears to have been written with the author fully knowing that he has filled the pages with useless information. Very little useful information. Many large pictures of common things, and large 1/2 page pictures of himself from childhood up and 1/2 page blow ups of spark plugs. How to change oil! What oil he likes! Basic wasted information like that. Will not buy anything from this author or publisher again. This was not a mistake by the author, you can clearly tell that it was intentional by how much wasted garbage is in the book, and how little useful information is in there. I guess he was able to sell it to people like myself.
Excellent book, worth the price
Bill Rooks's book is a great resource for anyone who works on Harley Davidsons or would like to. As an amature mechanic, I learned a lot from this book. Top end and head work are covered extensively, as well as carburetor selection and tuning. Rook stresses the importance of designing a total package for achieving specific performance goals rather than simply bolting on expensive parts. Rook's careful, simple, yet detailed descriptive writing style makes sense, and will allow anyone with a basic understanding of internal combustion engines to grow in their knowledge and tackle the project or modifying a stock Harley Davidson for performance gains. I highly reccomend this book.
