When it comes to collector motorcycles, none hold the allure of classic Harley-Davidson Knucklehead and Panhead Big Twins, but owning and maintaining these temperamental machines proves endlessly challenging. Even the most pristine motorcycle needs a tremendous amount of care, maintenance, and repair, and most examples are far from pristine restorations. Rebuilding and restoring Big Twins is less a defined task and more a never-ending process. This book guides classic Harley owners through that process. Beginning with a practical section on understanding, choosing, and purchasing a classic Harley, this book focuses on the wheel-to-wheel nuts and bolts of classic Harley ownership, from chassis to bodywork. Through step-by-step photography and thoughtful, informative instruction, readers will learn how to disassemble a chassis, repair a fork, lace a wire wheel, and paint the major parts for any restoration. It provides thorough instruction on repairing, overhauling, and restoring all major components, such as the engine, transmission, and electrical systems. With explicit text and 669 detailed color photographs, Rick Schunk walks vintage Harley owners through the start-to-finish operations necessary to repair and restore classic Harley-Davidson Big Twins.
