The book is packed with almost 550 pages of sidecar history and restoration details, and like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so the book uses almost 600 Harley-Davidson factory and period photos including illustrations showing unmolested sidecars, production methods, and part assemblies. The book also includes over 700 photos showing original parts, assembly diagrams, and restoration techniques to help visualize and explain the verbiage.
The book is easy to read and understand with large text, but best of all the book layout makes it easy to find information about specific model years without spend a lot of time searching through the sections. And even though the subject matter is specific to 1914-1935 Harley-Davidson sidecars, many of the parts and procedures discussed in the book are applicable to H-D sidecars beyond 1935. So, whether you are restoring a specific year sidecar model or just wanting to know more about the history of Harley-Davidson sidecars, this book is a must have.
Also available is the 1914-1935 Harley-Davidson Sidecar Book Supplement, which is a 95-page quick reference guide to Part Numbers, Descriptions, and Finishes for 1914-35 H-D Sidecars. You can order either book individually or order both books to save on shipping costs.
