When it comes to collectible motorcycles, none have the charm of the classic Harley-Davidson Big Twins manufactured from 1936 to 1964. Owning and maintaining these quirky machines presents endless challenges. Even the most immaculate, restored example requires a huge amount of care, maintenance, and repair. Rebuilding and restoring these machines is not so much a defined task as an endless process. This book serves as a guide for owners in this process. Starting with a practical section on understanding, choosing, and purchasing a classic Harley, the book focuses on the details of owning classic Harleys. Through step-by-step photographs and careful, informative instructions, the reader will learn how to disassemble a frame, rebuild a fork, lace a wheel, and paint the major parts for any restoration. It also provides detailed instructions for repairing, restoring, and refurbishing all major components, such as the engine, gearbox, and electrical system.
