Harley-davidson Sportster Performance Handbook

The Sportster is the most versatile motorcycle ever produced by Harley-Davidson. Introduced in 1957, the Sportster has undergone many changes. But its light and fast character has never changed, nor has its ability to be readily modified for improved performance. From touring to racing, chopping to customizing, the Sportster has given millions of motorcyclists a perfect bike for riding and wrenching. Now in its third edition, Harley-Davidson Sportster Performance Handbook brings the Sportster enthusiast up to speed on what's changed, what's available, and how to unlock the Sportster's potential. Author Buzz Buzzelli draws on his years of experience as editor of American Rider magazine, and a former racer and mechanic to give the reader an overall primer on this legendary motorcycle. A lifelong Sportster owner and Sportster enthusiast, Buzzelli explains the history of the Sportster, its inner workings, and how to tap into its horsepower and handling potential with help from the broad array of aftermarket Sportster parts and products.
