1970 Harley-Davidson Sportster 900cc vintage motorcycle print ad

Sportster makes the dust the others eat. 900cc Sportsters are boss power. Brothers to the lean and angry record breakers at Bonneville, Daytona, Atco Dragway. New port design and large racing valves for more urge than ever. Tucked in down a straight or sucking through a high-speed bend. Sportsters fly out front. That's where you want to be. And you can have it either way...lean CH or electric-start H. Anything else is second best. 1970 Harley-Davidson Sportster 900cc Ad available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

Trying to build your first chopper can be the most exasperating task you've ever attempted. You'll be swamped with well-wishing do-gooders who have a wealth of information and advice to offer. And a lot of the time, they're nowhere to be found when you need help with the manual labor.

Although trying to completely chop your own Sportster in the confines of your garage may sem like an impossible task, you can do it. And that's the reason for this book. It's not a factory manual. If it were, the price would be around $10 and it would be 10 times as long. But the information in this book will answer all your questions - from how to buy a used bike to maintaining it after you get it on the road.

If you're into performance, there's a section that deals with different things you can do to your scooter to make it competitive and still be able to ride it on the street.

If you don't want to do all of the work, at least you can learn enough to be able to go into a shop and not get a bum deal. However, the more work you do yourself the more money you'll save. And, you'll pay a lot more attention to detail than any shop. Which means that the finished product will mean a lot more to you. By doing the work yourself you will also learn 10 times quicker than some of the people that believe that the only way to have a chopper is to buy one already built.

And by completely building your own scooter, you can have the pleasure of telling people who ask about it that you did all the work.

Regardless of how you decide to do it, never get in a rush. You've probably saved a long time to be able to buy and chop your first bike, so don't end up with a ratty looking bike because you got in a hurry to get on the road.

You'll probably lose a lot of sleep, and eat a lotta peanut butter sandwiches. You'll start adding new words to your vocabulary at the rate of one for every busted knuckle and part that won't fit. But, the first time you light off the engine and take that first putt down the street you'll forget about all the hassles. Have a ball!
