    Softcover (paperback) $39.95 and hardcover $49.95 is available at www.iUniverse.com
    In this second part of his fifth volume on Harley Davidson motorcycles, Donny Petersen who has studied privately with Harley Davidson engineers, shares practical knowledge and streetwise tips on the Shovelhead motorcycle.
    Donny presents what Harley-Davidson has to say through the myriad of service bulletins back in the day in everyday language. He also uses his extensive practical experience to constructively critique the official line, offers additional hard-earned information, and then shares what he does with his own bikes. He provides
    Solutions to fix the Shovelhead’s teething problems;
    Harley’s responses to ongoing problematic aspects of vibration, as well as the aftermarket cures;
    Tips on working with the Shovelhead’s 4-carburetors, 5-ignition systems, 3-electric starters, generator/regulator charging system and 3-alternator charging systems (rotors, stators, and rectifiers).
    Then Donny tackles electrical switches, circuit breakers, and relays.
    He moves onto the 4-wide glide and 5-narrow glide Shovelhead front forks, 9-braking systems, wheels and tires.
    Lastly, Donny does lubrication like only he can. He then explains, dissects, and rebuilds the early steel oil pump along with the progression of aluminum oil pumps explaining their foibles, how to fix, and then modify them for superior oiling.
