hop-up guide review this wasn't a bad book, just outdated! should have said 86-03. NO rubbermount or buell xb and barely any 1200sport. we're halfway through 2008 and these were all signifigant changes in the sportster/buell line-ups. is probably still good enough for most readers. i just had specific questions on all 3 subjects mentioned that h-d and local shops could not answer for me and that's why i bought the book in the 1st place. oh-well.
Novice guide I was expecting actual technical information, instead I found this book to be just a vague guide that just pretty much tells you what products do and do not work. The small amount of actual advice may be helpful to a beginner.
You can get the same advice for free from anyone that owns a Sportster and has tried to upgrade it.
This may be a good guide for a novice Sportster/Buell owner, but if you have any kind of mechanical backround or even tinker with bikes on the weekends, I would suggest passing on this book.
Interesting Book Nice publication - valuable and interesting information for Sporty and Buell owners. Very pleased with this purchase.
