Summary: Tremendous guide for the DIY Sportster mechanic
Review: Buzzelli's masterpiece on H-D Sporster performance. Not simply his opinions, but recommendations are backed up by tried and true testing. If you're a Sportster owner--get this book!

Summary: A guide how to tune your 883 (and 1200?)
Review: Great book to get your mind on sensible tuning your Sportster. The book describes all possible good and not so good ways to tune the engine, but is mainly focussed on tuning the 883 and converting an 883 to an 1200.
If you allready own a 1200 you might be looking for information which is not available in this book.
Still a valuable piece in your library.

Summary: Great HD Performane FAQ Manual
Review: I used Buzz's book, with the factory manual, to turn my '93 883 into a perfectly running 1200. Other than the cyl. bore, I did all the work myself with absolutely no problems.

Summary: An OK Overview
Review: Pass on the hype.....this book is a soft general overview. However it lacks on technical details. It focuses mainly in two areas, 883 coversion and history. Again the 883 conversion IS NOT TECHNICALLY DEEP and I would even venture to say lacking. I was disapointed in this book. Not recommended.

Summary: A must for sportster owners
Review: This was my bible for one of my bikes, a 1990 sportster 883-1200 conversion. It covers a lot of the history of the sportster & theory on what can be done to hop it up & keep it rideable. Even if you aren't going to do anything yourself you should probably read this book so you'll know what to have done. It's a nice read too.
