1. This book is probably the most valuable book you'll ever own if you've got an FZR. It's helped me countless times to sort out electrical, carburetor, and other miscellaneous problems on my bike. Definitely pick this up, don't even hesitate.

3 comments about Illustrated Directory of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles (Illustrated Directory).

1. This book is great. A handy little reference that you can take with you as a quick reference to check on origianl appearance and overall specs. It also tells about how H-D bikes evloved year by rear and model by model.



2. I live in California, and there are racing bikes and Harley Motorcycles all over the place. It's nice to have some kind of reference for Motorcycles. I bought three copies, but this edition is the best in that it is portable and is very comprehensive. It includes relevant statistical information such as speed, engine size, and year; plus there is a written portion on the history of each bike. Many important Harley's, such as the XR 750 are covered. The Salamander/Motorbooks/Illustrated Directory series is very good and I highly recommend the whole series.



3. I found the Illustrated Directory of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles a very informative and enjoyable read, but field guide or reference book it is not- less a reference book/ field guide and more of a non-fiction novel about Harley Davidson.
   
   It required you to read it chronologically and is not very handy as an identification guide (there is no more than one picture per model listed). You have to read several pages before the page you are reading to really get what the author is talking about.

1. Being on the boxers for many years, this books still tells me many things and stories that I did not know. With arond 140 pages, it covers all BMW boxers, up to R1200 engines. it tells you the strength and weakness of each model. What was new and updated on new bikes when they came to the market. It can be a good reference book before to you put your hands on BMW boxers. I personally love it.(Koutai Liao, 11/4/2007)

3 comments about Motorcycle Electrics Without Pain.

1. I bought my first copy of Mike Arman's book some time in the mid 80s. I wore it out. Then I bought another. That got a bit frayed too. The third copy is, like Laura Whatsername, "wrapped in plastic"...to keep my greasy fingerprints off it. Let me tell you what I do...I write stuff - including technical stuff - for motorcycle magazines here in Oztralia. For me to do this work successfully I need rather a lot of reference material. Putting it as bluntly as I can, Mike Arman's book is simply the best guide to motorcycle circuit maintenance one can buy. If you want to go into the intricacies of 3-D ingnition mapping or integrated circuit design, look elsewhere, but if you want to know how to rewire your machine so it doesn't stall every time it looks like rain, or so the lights work after dark - two unsolvable mysteries to the owners of Italian machinery - then Mike's your man. Time for me to testify... An acquaintance of mine was having trouble with the standard wiring loom on his Honda 400cc four-cylinder machine. He decided to rewire the bike using Motorcycle Electrics Without Pain as a guide. He used only the existing wiring loom on the machine for materials and ended the exercise with 40 metres of wire left over. And everything worked. On that basis alone, the book's a bargain. As well, it's written in a no-nonsense, entertaining style which is bound to raise the odd chortle here and there as Mike explains the way things electrical work in the real world of motorcycles as opposed to the way electrical theorists would have us believe they work. And it's especially applicable and entertaining for anyone who has had any dealings at all with the electrical work of the company founded by Joseph Lucas, the Prince Of Darkness. Sincerely, I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone considering looking into the arcane art of motorcycle electrickery. And it's a damn good read as well.



2. "Motorcycle Electrics Without Pain" is the only book I've ever read that actually explained the electronic on my bike in a way I could understand, and the book didn't even cover my model. I highly recommend that anyone who is trying to troubleshoot their own electrical problems buy and read this book.



3. great explanations with excellent sense of humor!! A MUST for the novice vintage mechanic or to attempt to understand how almost anything works.

1. With basically one day to plan my trip (so I am a bit last-minute these days), this book was an indespensible boost in the good-time department. It is a great book to get you started, and provides all the necessary clues to create your own journeys. After a couple of days, you get to understand the way the maps illustrate the individual roads, and marty's book helps you identify the best kinds to explore. Sometimes the routes get confusing, but that just adds to the adventure. Makes a great gift, as I told the friend who got it for me.



2. I purchased it for my husband... he has been reading and enjoying it. It's always good to find those special places to drive, especially since the northeast is so limited in drive time!

1. It has taken me close to a year to write this,cause the proof is in the pudding.I know I have done everything short of capital crimes, to get the information this fellow is GIVING you for a mere fifty dollars.From A to Z Kirk gives you ALL. I have restored pans for 20 years,Kirk my hats off to you an all who helped AAAAA+++. This is the book. I have had my nose in an out of it since it arrived.I have found everything to be right on the money. I know that`s the stuff that makes it best. The Truth. this is what it`s all about.Kirt THANK-YOU



2. I am looking into buying a Pan, and searching for more than anecdotal information. This book is the best source of Pan info I have read so far. It helped me realize that a Pan wasn't the best choice, and that I would need to spend a lot of time wrenching, instead of riding.

   I wish they'd write one for Shovelheads!!




3. This book is lacking in some important areas. No carburetors, no transmissions, no brakes. Need to know how to adjust your mousetrap, change springs on a springer, or fix a leak on your hydraulic front end? You won't find it in this book. The topics it does cover are great, easy to understand, and well detailed. The bottom line is I do use this book and it has become a permanent part of my shop library.



4. I'll keep this short and to the point. As the title says, this is the best "tool" I have in my tool chest. The information in this book has helped me more times then I can recollect. The book is written from a practical perspective and isn't full of theoretical "how to". It even includes descriptions of how to make some of the special tools you'll need from items you probably have laying around your shop. I can't wait for Vol. 2!
