Summary: Needs depth
Review: Nice overview of building a motorcycle from a kit but not enough depth. I wish the author had spent time on engine installation, primary installation, and electonics. Good book but it is not going to help you when you get dirty with your bike project.

Summary: Very good for beginners like me!
Review: This book is an easy reading one. If you are looking for an introduction to Harley Davidson motorcycle kits overview, it is for you. Details on building RevTech Soft-Tail kit from frame, engine, transmission, suspension, electrical system, and etcetera are covered from the open box to finish. What I like?
Engine and transmission installation, alignment and what king of engine with what king of transmission. What do not?
The scope of the material presented. If you are a cycle kit man, this book is probably not for you because everything is presented in good simple manner.

Summary: Good, but just a start
Review: This is a good introduction to what is involved in building a modern "bike in a box", or a Harley clone, as marketed by any of a number of companies out there. It gives you some general tips and hints, a review of shop and tool requirements, then walks you through four pretty similar kit bike buildups. All are modern, all are soft tails, and it should give you an idea of what you're getting into. Doesn't mention the wide variety of bikes that can be built out there from catalogs - Old School lovers can look elsewhere. This is all about the new trendy "choppers" you see all over the place, which is okay if you're into that.
