This new Harley-Davidson Sportster Hop-Up & Customizing Guide starts with the history of an American Success Story - the Sportster model has been in continuous production since 1957. Today, Sportsters are experiencing a rebirth of popularity among riders of both sexes and all ages.
The meat of the book starts with a chapter on planning. What is it you want to achieve? An old-school hardtail built from an Ironhead Sportster? The conversion of an Evo Sporty into a Cafe racer? Maybe you want to create a Tracker or XR style Sportster?
No matter which theme you're looking to duplicate on your own project, author Todd Zallaps (a die-hard Sportster nut) explains the importance of planning, and some simple ways to ensure your plan comes to fruition.
The book presents two, start-to-finish builds, one done on an Ironhead, and one on an Evo Sportster. Both give the reader an inside look at how experienced amateurs and professional shops go about a full-blown customizing project. From the initial disassembly to the mock up, paint and reassembly, all the steps are here.
So whether your own personal Sportster is old or new, your plans modest or extreme, this new book from Wolfgang Publications will move you down the path from dreams to reality. From a cookie cutter bike that looks like too many others, to something you can truly call your own. Harley-Davidson Sportster Hop-Up & Customizing Guide offers you 144 pages of advice, help, resources, and inspiration.
