Harley Davidson 74 sportster

If you own a relic like I do this book will save your butt when you need to know how to fix you old ironhead HD Electical schematics are great especially when you enlarge them Highly reccomend this to any old HD Shovel heads out there

Good Manual

Bought this for a 66 Sporty. Although it didnt mention the shift/ brake change, the book is on spot and good for anyone starting out or in depth to rebuilding.

The required owners manual

. If you own a Sportster made in the years covered by this book, you need this book. Buying this book and using the tools you already have (you do have and know how to use hand tools...right?) you will save a lot of money doing your own basic maintenance and some not so basic stuff. Even if you just use the manual to tell your wrench what is wrong. This is also very helpful if you plan on customizing your ride. Mine is now a bar-hopper. It helps in selecting parts that will fit your ride, by knowing what parts are stock and what after market parts will work. Buying parts that don't fit is an expensive lesson.

Book was in perfect shape and shipped as requested.

Good book but with a few shortcomings

Lots of good info. Lots of diagrams and the book is broken down into chapters about specific areas of the bike and goes step by step for fixing most problems. Some good troubleshooting info. Not much info on some areas like the wiring for the lights and some things are hard to find but overall DEFINATELY worth the money. If you own one of these bikes and want to do your own maint. Buy this book.
