Whether it’s knowing the best way to measure for rake and trail, or the actual thickness of a piece of sixteen-gauge steel, Biker Math offers all the formulas and conversions you need to build and repair motorcycles in your own shop or garage. Written by John Marcullis and Bob Yezek, the two men behind dumbassbiker.com, the book is filled with real-life answers to the kinds of issues and problems faced by bike builders on a daily basis. Learn how to determine the total displacement given the bore and stroke, or the compression ratio, or the horsepower given only the torque. You might also want to know the thread pitch of an American or Metric bolt, how to determine the final gear ratio, or how to convert a clearance in inches into millimeters. If the question requires math and motorcycles, this new book from Wolfgang Publications will help you find the answer.
