"How To Restore Your Harley-Davidson" by Bruce Palmer III
This is a must have book for anyone who intends to restore a Harley from 1937-1947 Knucklehead, 1948-1964 Panhead, 1937-1948 Big Twin Side-Valve, 1937-1952 45 Solo, 1937-1963 Servi-Car. This is the complete guide to correctly restore your Harley-Davidson motorcycle to factory-original specs. Five years in preparation, How To Restore Your Harley-Davidson is the biggest and best book ever written on restoring Harley-Davidson motorcycles, an encyclopedia telling you what parts are correct and what's not including correct finishes (cad, parkerizing, chrome) and factory paint options.
With well over 600,000 words of detailed text, charts, and tables, this book will become the reference work on Harley-Davidson restoration.
Author Bruce Palmer III is a noted Harley-Davidson restorer who has been building and restoring motorcycles for 24 years.
My 1945 Knuckle (45E1254) is pictured as an example of a 1945 model. Have fun.
