Summary: YOU NEED IT
Review: If you own an original, or if you're building, a 1948-1965 Tedd Cycle (V-Twin) Replica Panhead, you will need every piece of written material you can get your hands on. This service manual covers areas that our manual does not (i.e., Linkert carburetors, transmissions, forks, brakes, "mousetraps" and 1965 Electra-Glides) and vise-versa. You will need the H-D (OEM) 1959-1969 service manual; our book (if you ever want to know how to change-out your clutch hub liner or change from hydraulic to solid lifters); and you will need this book. With these three books you can keep your machine running. On January 9, 2002, Tedd Cycle released an OEM-style set of Knuckle cylinder heads, and a complete Knuckle motor. Also released were three historical versions of the Pan cylinder heads: the OEM-style (Linkert carburetor-intake port) 1948-'54 "plumber" & 1955-'62 "O-Ring" manifold pattern and 1963-'65 external-oiler version.
Now, anyone can build an authenic replica of a Knucklehead or Panhead motorcycle, and everyone owes Tedd Cycle for taking the time to do it right. This Clymer book will show you what an over-milled set of Pan heads look like; so when we're out there looking through scrap heaps at swap meets, for a set of (useable) Linkert intake heads (if such a thing still exist), maybe we won't end up with a doorstop.© Kirk Perry 2002

Summary: This is a maintenance book!
Review: This is a Clymer maintenace book for Harley Panheads. It is a very good book on care and feeding of panheads, but the Amazon description makes it look like the history of pans. One good good thing is that there is a section of the book which describes the proper paint and features for particular year pans. Useful for restores.
