Buy This Book !!!!!
The Harlet Davidson Sportster Performance Handbook.
3rd Edition. By Buzz Buzzelli
Especially If you are thinking of Modifying your sporty, And are unsure what you want,
I mean lets face it there are a million mods and parts out there. Which ones work together and which one don't ? Buzz covers it pretty well in this book. The best 20.00 bucks you will spend on your bike !!
A great informative read, And covers everything from Rubber mounts to Ironheads. With a great overview of the rubber mount Sporty's
Lot of info for anyone thinking of modifying there bike. I got my copy from Wal-Mart.com For around 20.00 the shipping cost was .98 cents !!!
Everywhere else listed it for closer to 30.00

I own this book, and it is a valuable tool. I read and re-read it before my conversion. It's fascinating.

One of the first books my GF bought when she got her '77 Ironhead. Interesting reading for sure...

I have the 3rd Edition, and read it cover to cover and in between more than once. It's a good read.

I've been wondering is it worth picking up if you already have the 2nd edition?
