How to Fix American V-Twin Motorcycles

Designed for non-professionals and first-time mechanics, "How to Fix American V-Twin Motorcycles" uses hundreds of color photos to explain basic maintenance and repairs.
Everything from the basic oil change, to the typical brake job. There's a section on tune up, carburetor repair, clutch and primary service, the best way to store your bike, how to change a tire and how to service the fork and pack the neck bearings.

Written by well-known bike builders, The Shadley Bros., this guide to basic repair and maintenance explains not only how to repair and adjust various parts of the motorcycle, but how the various components work.
Diagrams and photos explain things like brake hydraulics and exactly how to adjust the primary chain.
There is no such thing as a maintenance free motorcycle. Save money by fixing that Harley-Davidson or aftermarket V-Twin in your own garage. All you need is a basic set of tools and this book by Wolfgang Publications.
