There are thousands of performance products available to make your bike look and feel like those on the race track and to give it an individual identity. Many are simply "bolt-on" and can be easily installed easily in the home workshop, whereas others require a little more ingenuity and forethought than might first be believed.

Aimed at the Superbike owner, this book discusses the pros and cons of fitting bolt-on aftermarket products, how to select the right items for your bike and how to fit them. Typical items have been fitted in the Haynes workshop and their procedures carefully set out in photographic sequence.
